Here's a very simple patch I hacked together for my own use, in case it's useful to anyone else.
I think that since Unity and GNOME3 don't use metacity as the window manager, this patch should only affect 2D desktops. (I can't test this theory at the moment, though, as Unity "3D" appears to be broken in Precise right now.) ** Patch added: "Ambiance: larger window borders for Metacity" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/878198/+attachment/3029949/+files/0001-Ambiance-larger-window-borders-for-Metacity.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878198 Title: Difficult to grab window borders in unity-2d Status in “light-themes” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “light-themes” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “unity-2d” source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: In unity-2d it seems that window borders are only 1 pixel wide and are therefore very difficult to grab for window resize. In 3D it seems that a shadow extends the width of the border so the problem does not occur.
