I find it difficult to hit the edges of the Ubuntu 10 Radiance-theme windows to resize them.
Is someone willing modify the Metacity theme to put thicker borders on the sides and bottom?

You can also try different themes.
Many have thicker borders.
There's a subforum for 10.10 until it goes final, and a relevant thread in there already. You might find it useful and/or interesting:

agreed, razor thin borders on the sides are a pain and this is a serious usability issue. I never bother with side borders and hit straight to the corner - thanks to a thicker bottom and a rather big active corner area you can resize horizontally with much less hassle than if you try to pinpoint non-existing side borders.
To edit the border thickness of themes I do the following; open the terminal, go to the theme's directory (in this case I typed "cd /usr/share/themes/Radiance/metacity-1"), open the themes metacity file (sudo gedit metacity-theme-1.xml), edit left and right width values in the "General window layout" section from this:<!-- General window layout -->to this:
<frame_geometry name="frame_geometry_normal" title_scale="medium" rounded_top_left="true" rounded_top_right="true" rounded_bottom_left="true" rounded_bottom_right="true">
<distance name="left_width" value="1"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="1"/>
<!-- General window layout -->and save and exit gedit.
<frame_geometry name="frame_geometry_normal" title_scale="medium" rounded_top_left="true" rounded_top_right="true" rounded_bottom_left="true" rounded_bottom_right="true">
<distance name="left_width" value="5"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="5"/>
Hope this helps.
