Public bug reported: The mouse cursor when indicating the edge of a frame (border of a window) always takes on the appearance of an arrow and a bar, ie, "=>|". It is suggested there is a need for this symbol to convey more information; namely, whether the border can be moved in or out or whether it has reached either the minimum or maximum extent of its movement, ie, "|<=" or "=>|<=" or "=>|".
It is suggested that, when resizing windows, if minimally sized on the relevant dimension, the arrow should be pointing in the direction the window can be expanded. When a window can be resized up or down, there should be an arrow on either side of the bar; thereby indicating movement in either direction is possible. Similarly, when a window has reached its maximum size, the arrow should be pointing in the direction in which the frame's border can be moved. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685002 Title: wishlist: resize cursor should be ended depending on resize possibilities -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
