Really hard ot resize a window

[Vimmander]

I'm running Lucid 10.04, and I found something rather annoying that I can't find in the forums after a few searches, and would love to see fixed or hear a current solution for.

When I try to manually resize a window (like FF or the terminal), I can't grab the left or right sides of it, only the top, bottom, or a side/corner that's flush against the side of the screen. The grab arrow barely appears for the most atomic fraction of time, and sometimes, even if moving slowly, doesn't appear at all. It's not a SUPER big deal, just an annoying aspect of the GUI. If I use my touchpad, I can grab a side if I move super slow, but I hate using that. I use a LogiTech M215 optical mouse. Realistically, I could just change mouse settings a bit and experiment, but that doesn't fix the problem that the "grab area" of the edges of a window is really, really tiny.

try ALT+Click to move windows around also if you are using compiz - try looking in CCSM, window resizing

Oh its an issue. I find it extremely annoying! Make the area you grab at the corners more accessible, its just like OP said!

Heres some more unhappy users with workarounds

Jut use a theme with wider window borders. The only thing affecting the window border width is your Metacity theme.

Alt+middle mouse button allows you to resize a window from any point inside the window (instead of just the borders). Alt+left mouse button does the same thing fro moving windows.

There is a simple metacity theme here with nice wide borders.
Look in the readme in the download to customize the colors and titlebar layout.
