I observed a similar problem on XFCE installed on a new laptop. The border is so thin that grabbing the edge at the lower-right corner in order to resize the window with a touch panel is very, very difficult. I need something like half a minute of trying, sometime more.
true, but not that new :-(

I see that borderless is now the default. Why on earth would anyone make that default? I guess it's part of trend over the past several years that seem to make things harder to read or see. While I have issues, despite having good vision, I'd hate to be someone with impaired vision. I've seen some web sites that are almost unreadable, due to the colour choices, such as black on dark blue.
Well, I'm not a young man any more, but my eyesight is reasonably good for my age - as proven by the tiny font I'm using to read this :-) Still, it is not a problem of seeing the border, but that it is very difficult to move the mouse pointer with a touch-pad just one pixel. You need doing a very fine finger movement. I manage after several tries, of course, but this is not good. No wonder that people buy actual mice to use with laptops instead of using the included touchpad. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
