The windows have edges! That tell you where to grab with your mouse to resize it! These days, dark mode on a black desktop background means you can't find where a window's surface ends.

though today you can resize the window with Win key + arrows or by dragging the window.

  Win XP was better. You could specify where to put the window by keys and put n windows in tiles over the screen.

  Alt + Space will (still) bring up the control menu, and you can move or resize from there.

This is one of the biggest annoyances in Windows 10. If you use Command Prompt and have several of them open with overlapping windows, then it is impossible to see where one window ends and the next one starts. If you have text in all of them you'll frequently read text from the next window and then realize that text is not in the current window. Windows 10 UX is under the control of the guy who came with the Flat UI and they don't care about annoyances such as this. They are very dogmatic, and no matter how many people complain they aren't going to give up any of their Flat UI principles.

  There's a rumor that Windows 10 will be getting a major graphical redesign. Most welcome by me if true! https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/05/tech/windows-10-redesign-trnd/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/05/tech/windows-10-redesign-...

> ...resize it! I began using altmove after discovering xfce's alt <mousebutton> functionality. I think I had to remap the move or the resize, one of the two, in altmove to get it to behave properly. http://www.altmove.com/ http://www.altmove.com/
