KDE should make this the default effect for window resizing. It just not look great (the concept) but also helps to improve the usability, which is always essential. Great idea Ivan.

This could even give a fade in effect to the window border against the background. Another possibility would be to make the border dragged less opaque ( i.e a little bit transparent ).

I there a way to make the scrollbar a different width. Often times when I goto grab the scrollbar the mouse grabs the edge of the app and I end up resizing it instead. If I could have a preference for that then I could make it as wide as I want. It takes way too much effort to guide the mouse and grab a very narrow piece. On the same topic it would also be helpful if when the mouse is over the scrollbar that the resize function would be de-activated . That way if I overshoot the scrollbar and accidentally clik on the edge of the app I would not find myself doing an unintended resize. It's a real pain. Thanks Lou Hi

While you’re at it
here’s something
that I would find
helpful.

I there a way to
make the scrollbar
a different width.

Often times when I goto grab the
scrollbar the mouse grabs the edge of
the app and I end
up resizing it instead. If I could
have a preference
for that then I could make it as
wide as I want. It
takes way too much effort to guide
the mouse and grab
a very narrow piece.

On the same topic
it would also be helpful if when the
mouse is over the scrollbar that the
resize function would be de-activated . That
way if I overshoot the scrollbar and accidentally clik
on the edge of the app I would not find myself doing
an unintended resize. It’s a real pain.

Thanks

I'd love for this to be added to KWin (maybe pulsating if you have composite, just the color otherwise?). I think its a great idea!

And I agree about the integration, it would be great to have it use the colour scheme's highlight colour (ie. when hovering over the scrollbar in the Oxygen theme). And then integrate it KDE-wide would be awesome! I really like that idea!

Anyway, a way more important thing: This feature should be KDE-wide available but not just in one application. I mean consistency is the most important property of a DE. Hi Ivan,
