Summary0020380: Window border is too narrow, hard to handle resizing
DescriptionStandard programs on Windows 11 have about 6px wide border, including Google Chrome and Opera that are based on Chromium as is MM5. It seems MM5 has just 1px wide border. It is very hard to handle and needs very precise movement of mouse, especially on high DPI screens, i.e. small screens with very high resolutions.

During developing of my skin I tried to set @windowBorderSize: 6px; and even 10px, but that fake "border" doesn't respond on mouse at all, i.e. it doesn't show resizing cursor on its full width (or height with horizontal borders). It is just for a visual, nothing more.

So, it seems it is not problem related to skins, but to the program in general. It would be great if these divs used for a fake "border" could be used for resizing of window as well (.winborder-left, ...).

Well, it seems that such nice, 6px wide borders in windows programs like Explorer are only when the Contrast theme is turned on (but since I use such theme almost exclusively, I noticed that fact just now). However, even when the Contrast theme is not used, the mouse cursor will appear several pixels beside the border, i.e. the standard windows still have more comfortable and better resizing handling then MM5.
