I find it distracting moving the mouse over a program and all these changes happen that I don't see the usefulness of. I know about where the active point in the cursor is enough to hit a button. KDE provides an option to disable highlighting the button under mouse, and I have it disabled there. I would disable the hover button highlighting. I've not had the problem of clicking one window decoration button instead of another. I have three buttons and the close is next to the menu button. I use close far more often than that button. I have had a problem with hitting the scroll wheel up and down over the close button enough that I have it ignore the scroll wheel over the close button. -- David Fries <[email protected]> http://fries.net/~david/ (PGP encryption key available)
