Here How do I increase the resize margin on windows? it says to edit in /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml the properties
<distance name="left_width" value="1"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="1"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="1"/>
Well, there are three frames with those properties, and the default values are:
<frame_geometry name="frame_geometry_normal" title_scale="medium" rounded_top_left="true" rounded_top_right="true" rounded_bottom_left="false" rounded_bottom_right="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="1"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="1"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="1"/>
</frame_geometry>
<frame_geometry name="geometry_maximized" rounded_top_left="false" rounded_top_right="false" rounded_bottom_left="false" rounded_bottom_right="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="0"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="0"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="0"/>
</frame_geometry>
<frame_geometry name="border" has_title="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="3"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="3"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="3"/>
</frame_geometry>
I have already altered all three to ridiculous values to no visible effect:
<frame_geometry name="frame_geometry_normal" title_scale="medium" rounded_top_left="true" rounded_top_right="true" rounded_bottom_left="false" rounded_bottom_right="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="100"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="100"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="100"/>
</frame_geometry>
<frame_geometry name="geometry_maximized" rounded_top_left="false" rounded_top_right="false" rounded_bottom_left="false" rounded_bottom_right="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="100"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="100"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="100"/>
</frame_geometry>
<frame_geometry name="border" has_title="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="200"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="200"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="200"/>
</frame_geometry>
and have rebooted between changes.
What am I missing? (and how to effect changes without rebooting?)
