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.

Try Windows Manager by scrolling through the themes.

  • Settings
  • Windows Manager
  • Theme

You will notice a thickening or slimming of the window edge as you pick a different theme. Pick one that has thick edge because that means grabbing the edge to resize the window becomes easier.

You can not. All maintainers of all Linux distros, afaik, are proud to have them so tiny. User experience does NOT count. This annoying problem has been asked multiple times - no GUI maintainer seems interested.

"Solution"

Alt+right mouse = resize (most of the time)

Alt+ left mouse = move (no resize)
