I have to struggle with the mouse cursor, to grab the exact window edge or corner pixel in order to resize. The bandwith of how far the mouse can be from the exact window edge feels like less than three pixels, which is unpleasantly low.
How to I increase that draggable area?
Preferrably without necessarily altering the window borders.

Alt+MiddleClick and Alt+RightClick is also an excellent solution I just found, so it is now less important. Would not be bad, however, if I could increase the window corner/edge grabbable area. Customizability is a part of Linux philosophy, and Android just pretends to be customizable (they're more customizeable than iOS, but not sufficiently customizeable to give me the green battery icon).

How about trying the key combination ofAlt+Space, Rfor resize, then you just start pressing the arrow keys in the direction you want to grow.

I have the same experience and it looks like it depends on the the used theme.

@mook765 so which is a nice theme that allows you to use the mouse more easily to resize windows without changing border thickness?

@DK Bose Currently I useNOX-theme, there are some other glitches though, in some cases text and background don't have much contrast, but only a few cases...
