@noheger That was worse than I expected.
Apple could dramatically improve UX by migrating to unmodified KDE. And supporting KDE devs going forward.

KDE by default has the same problem. You need to change the settings to add real window borders.

And even that is not ideal. Ideal would be Windows 3 or IRIX, where windows are rectangular, thickly bordered, and the resize regions are clearly delineated.

@argv_minus_one @noheger Here's KDE where I have changed nothing on window corners, it seems to work perfectly.

Did you change the border width? As far as I know, there's no border by default.

Ah, somewhat weird. Firefox has that thick border, but other apps do not. Maybe something to do with GTK vs QT, not sure.

While the border is pretty much not there, it's still very easy to resize windows.

With the narrow border it's more obvious that indeed dragging area inside the window itself is smaller than outside it. Maybe to avoid overlapping with controls inside those windows?

Otherwise that scrollbar might be weirdly inaccessible.
