Hi, If you don't like or you don't feel OK with the included themes, you may check this: http://gnome-look.org It contains a lot of ways to change the look&feel of your desktop. For your problem, it may be better for you to use a theme which has a bigger window border. Take a look at gnome-look. You'll find metacity themes on the left side of the page. (click the link "Metacity"). To install the theme do the following: 1 - download the Metacity theme you like somewhere on your computer (lets say on Desktop) 2 - Open the theme manager: go to Main Menu->System->Preferences->Appearance (or Theme) 3 - Drag and drop the file you downloaded to the window (or click the install button and select the theme ) Don't be afraid to ask for further help when you need :) -- Window Resize Difficult (Window Border Thickness) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
