Bug Description
When the mouse pointer is on window border, it changes into a double arrow, and user can change width and height of the window.
Alas, border is only 1 pixel width ! Thus, it requires very carefull positioning of the mouse to be able to trigger that basic feature.
There are other ways to change windows size, but mouse-on-border is the most expected one... and should be obvious to perform.
As stated in http://
/usr/share/
and to set the following values in frame_geometry_
<distance name="left_width" value="3"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="3"/>
<distance name="bottom_
3 to 5 pixels make it sooooo much easier to change windows size !!
Please put this setting into the Unity Tweak tool.
