quite happy with Xfce, but yes it has some problems. I am using it in old school windows 98 style and would be interested in similar lightweight desktop environ

  That's just it, for some reason XFCE ties the window grab areas with the theme so the solution is "don't use the default theme". Mad that the best way of using XFCE is to not use the defaults (last time I used it I also had to change the whisker menu because the default one was Win95 era), whilst people in the same breath complain that you have to change the Gnome defaults. I'm fine with Sway, the nwg-piotr project adds some interesting panels if you want it. Sorry for the hyperbolic initial response but the hypocrisy with the alternatives which have the same sorts of problems is annoying.

    The default theme in Xubuntu works just fine, maybe try another distribution.

      XFCE disagrees with you. https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=10432 https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=10432 Just Google and there are hundreds of hits with people struggling to resize windows due to the tiny boarders.

        My laptop disagrees with you. So is the curse of Desktop Linux.
