Re: difficulty adjusting vertical and horizontal panel sizes in gtk3 programs




Hello Greg,

Thanks for the detailed answer and hints for ctwm, I appreciate them very much. Although I do not use ctwm but XFCE, only ocasionally, after playing with the config file as you suggested, I think it is good to know a bit of how ctwm works, it is highly customizable and low resources. I have been playing with BorderWidth in a custom ~/.ctwmrc file, set to 12, and window borders indeed are big and wider with 3D appearance.

But those borders are not my problem. My problem are the borders that are inside the GTK programs like tunderbird, that divide the program in for example 3 panels. There are very thin lines. In a good working Thunderbird, when you place the mouse pointer close to the line, arrows appear to help placing the mouse over the separation line. Once you have placed precisely the mouse you can adjust line position and resize panels inside the program. Without the helping arrows is very tricky to place the mouse accurately over the line.

Sorry if my explanation was so bad.

Regards.
Ramiro.
