This earlier post discusses the issue of the difficulty in "grabbing" the edge or corner to adjust sizes of windows.
Another post raised the same issue, again seemingly without much success!
There is mention there that the related bug report was deemed closed. However the OP did state that the issue was still unresolved.
I would like to report that in UbuntuMATE 22.04 LTS (using Marco with no compositor), the issue still exists, with the size of "grab-zone" being 1 pixel, which is an absurd value for default.
I am trying to identify where I could modify that setting in my relevant theme files.
- My theme for Controls is: Yaru-bark-dark
- My theme for Window-border is: Yaru-dark
If I look for Yaru-dark among file names using my utility, I have this result:
After glancing at the first 3 files, I found nothing of value.

Glancing at #4 led me to
/usr/share/themes/Yaru-dark/gtk-2.0
where I see this:
--------- end of edit ----------
If I were to replace the "1' in the line
GtkWidget::focus-line-width = 1
to the value of 5 or 7, would that take effect immediately, or only at next reboot, if at all ?
If this is not where we can control/customize the size of the grab-zone, where can we do that?
If not the above name for the parameter, what is the proper parameter/variable reference to be used when searching?
When I searched for main.rc on the MateDesktop site, I did not find any reference in the code tree. So I figured I would ask here?
Any ideas? or suggested alternate sites to approach?
