# XFCE4: IMPROVE WINDOW BORDER MOUSE SNAP BY INCREASING EDGE SIZE
# APPLIES TO STYLE 'Numix' (Whisker menu -> Settings -> Appearance -> Style)
#
# This topic has been discussed here: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/issues/100
#
# The main issue in Xfce4 desktop usage is window border/edge size which is 1 px by default
# This makes it very annoying and difficult to grab a window edge with mouse cursor
# This modification should be applied to source files but can be done by
# modifying installed style files, too (which this script does) 

# These modifications are proposed here:
# https://github.com/MaxKh/numix-gtk-theme/commit/6057a2d907a2e3014ae9e268e1aed8dc819a55c8
