#1 Xfwm4: please make bottom-left and bottom-right corners bigger and "L"-shaped
Please can the size of the bottom-left and bottom-right resize grips be increased? 5x5 isn't very big when you have to be accurate in two dimensions at once.
A good way of handling this is to make an L-shaped pixmap for the corner that's perhaps 20x20 in size. If the right, left, and bottom pixmaps are 5px wide each, xfwm4 will hide away 15px in each dimension under the corner of the window. For bonus points, make those pixels transparent, that way they wonly look ugly if the frame redraws before its contents, as happens sometimes.
L-shaped corners go all the way back to Motif/CDE: they're a very classical approach :) Also they're a real usability grace note for a theme.
will do, but please allow about a week cause i'm pretty busy w/ some other stuff now...
Ping ?
Those corners are the least of the problems right now, the xfwm and panel haven't been updated to gtk3, and the latest xubuntu versions use the latest xfce which uses the gtk3 versions, so this is the first priority by far (i know what i have to do, i have all the info to make the changes, but i won't have the time to deal with updating this theme until mid-april the earliest, i'm involved in another project right now which takes up literally all my available time and i cannot interrupt it not for one day)
Done
