I am working on a high dpi macbook pro, and I've got most things configured and looking OK at this resolution. The only issue I am still having is that when I try to resize a window, I have to move my cursor to what seems to be exactly the correct pixel to make the cursor change to the resize window icon thing. I've looked through the openbox config file, and I can't find any way to change the sensitivity of the area where that happens. Does anyone know how to change this?

You could use (or modify) a theme with larger (thicker) borders to give you more space to grab hold of.
Alternatively, hold down <Alt> then use right-click & drag to resize from anywhere in the window.

Over the coarse of the next several years you probably just saved me like 10 hours of fiddling! Thank's a lot.
PS: Thank's! Both the distro and the community have been fantastic so far.

Also, there's a bigger handle at the bottom right-hand corner of the window which is a bit easier to grab for resizing.

it's an openbox theming thing.
i, too, often feel that the grip/handle/borders aren't wide enough for my shaky hands.
these values influence that:
border.width:
window.handle.width:

^If you set them in your Openbox themerc you can make them as honking big as you like. 8o

Are there default keybindings in BL for ResizeRelative and MoveRelative? If not, creating some is always handy.

Nope - none found in a search of rc.xml

Easily added though...
<keybind key="A-r">
<action name="Resize"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-m">
<action name="Move"/>
</keybind>
@newbies, for resizing, first arrow press chooses the border-side, second moves it in that direction, Enter releases the cursor. Some more keybinds...

-edit-@damo and all, we should just add these to rc.xml like we did with Iconify/ToggleMaximize, don't you think?

Personally I'm happy to see lots features in the default rc.xml, as long as the keybinds are reasonable. There may even be a case for including as many as possible, with some of the more esoteric ones commented out perhaps. Care is needed though, since some of the window "tiling" options don't work well with a desktop spanning multi-monitors.

OK. I think we should add those 2 at least for RC2. That's your department... add what you see fit, discuss it with johnraff and HoaS if needed, then can you take care of pushing the commit?

Oh yeah, just make sure there are no conflicts. Then push it real good.

And I thank you, good sir.

Just realised that there is already a tiling section in rc.xml at line 453:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … c.xml#L453
I probably should have added it there instead.

Best to keep it tidy I think
(Also, I've been using a branch for changes, and only merging after other eyes have seen it.)

Is the "move" binding needed? You can already hold the Alt key and drag with the mouse to move a window.
