Border thickness for windows <Solved>

Post by dcung »

I sometimes struggles to resize windows in Buster/Bullseye/etc.
And I found that EasyOS border thickness, make it easier for me to resize. So, trying to mimic in other distros I use (esp Buster/Bullseye/Bookworm).

I am looking for the setting to change border thickness (not sure what they're called?)
It may also be possible that one can either adjust the thickness or other setting for 'edge' sensitivity. I looked in (and haven't got it yet):
Openbox configuration manager, Customize Look and Feel

I will use screenshots from EasyOS vs Bullseye to show what I mean. I used Firefox as example, but it's any windows really.

@dcung :-

Hm. Well, I know for a fact that what you want to do would be handled under Puppies on the "Window" tab of JWM DeskManager.....there's a 'Border' setting where you can adjust the thickness. Having never used the 'Dogs', however, I'm not the one to be answering this, I'm afraid.

(It can also be manually specified within the 'jwmrc-theme' file, located in ~/.jwm. But of course, you're not using JWM, are you? Damn. I'm not being much help here.....am I? :oops:)

Wait for someone to come along that DOES know what they're talking about. Ignore my ramblings..! :lol:

Fred will be able to advise, of course. He'll know.....

Mike. ;)

@dcung Here's the answer: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=56881
You'll need to know which openbox theme used (not gtk theme) , looks like "Alpha" on your screenshot, so change border.width in /usr/share/themes/Alpha/openbox-3/themerc
And run openbox --reconfigure.

EDIT: @pp4mnklinux Think before you post. There exist people who don't use fusilli !

Excuseme, @fredx181, I wrongly thought that you could understand that my answer was not the solution to @dcung
's question because I didn't mention him.

Excuse me again.
