Edge to resize a window

hi,

when i want to resize a window i can do this using my mouse on the edge of the window. but the zone where the mouse is changed from the normal mouse symbol to the symbol that can resize the window is very tiny. can i resize this zone without using such big edges?

Use alt + right click in the window to resize it. No need to grab the edge.

BTW this has been answered many times before, if you had searched through the forum you would have found your answer without waiting for someone to respond.

WOW. My theme choice thickened up the borders to my satisfaction, but Alt + right click is so much better! I did know about Alt + left click for moving a window, but didn't know this one.

Thanks ozjd!

Hey, ToZ, this thing gets asked about so many times per year that it's clear people don't (think to?) use the search function. Would it be possible to create a two-sentence thread about it, lock it, and make it a sticky? Maybe folks would see it then.

Regards,
MDM
