GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323821
Dragging windows offscreen resistance much too large
Last modified: 2005-12-22 06:24:38 UTC
The resistance for dragging a window off screen seems subjectively much too large to me. I wonder if it wouldn't be better simply to treat these edges like any other edge as far as the edge resistance goes. For the edge resistance, especially if we're hard-coding it and not making it an option, it needs to be very subtle. If it's getting in people's way too much we've really not done our job correctly. I'd advocate therefore making our resistance values very small and making the effect very subtle. Ideally, people wouldn't even realize what was going on; they'd simply find that they were able to suddenly place windows more accurately and not really understand quite why.
