Description Dave Neary 2011-06-17 07:49:10 UTC 
It's quite hard to resize a window in GNOME 3 on the sides/top/bottom. In the corners it's easier, the targets for grabs are bigger; but on the sides it looks like they're 1 pixel wide.

Would it be possible to increase the target size to 2 or 3 pixels, to make it easier to grab? The number of times I want to widen a window and miss, and I raise the window underneath, or have to go over & back 2 or 3 times to get the edge, is very frustrating.

Thanks!
Dave.

Looks like there's a cool solution proposed in bug 644930 (not at the top, which is kind of scary ;-).

Thanks Milan! I did search but I guess I looked for grab rather than resize (which returned too many results).
