Resize windows with mouse

Thu Nov 14, 2013 5:19 pm
Hi all,

No idea if this is the right forum to ask this, if not please move it to a better place.
It is not a real problem, there is nothing broken or anything, but I am having an issue with re-sizing windows in KDE.
When I want to resize a window I position the mouse cursor on the edge of the window where it turns into a two way pointing arrow. I believe there is only a one pixel position on which it is possible to resize the window, one pixel to the left or right and it doesn't work anymore.
Is it a setting I missed or is it by default? If it is by default would it be possible to enlarge the position to make it easier to resize a window?

Thanks

Moved to KWin.

Which window decoration do you use, the default one (Oxygen)? A screenshot would help.

There's a very easy resize mode. Hold the Alt+Key and just right click anywhere in the window.

At the moment OSX-Aurorae but I have this with all decorations I ever used in the past years.

Do you mean Alt + the right mouse button? This does resize the window but not as nicely as with the mouse on the edges of the window.

It resizes the window the very same way - it's the absolutely same code.

Check the deco configuration and increase the border width.
(Different decos have different capabilities in this regard, and for Aurorae, the "normal" size is apparently 1px)
