  1. Resizing Windows


    I had no problems with the 10 upgrade but I cannot find a way to control the size of app windows. They're either minimized or maximized with nothing in between.

    Solution: I had, somehow, set up Tablet mode (in Settings, System, Tablet Mode). Once I found that control and reset it everything went back to normal.

    By the way - I've found Classic Shell to be a worthwhile utility for enhancing Windows 8 and 10.

    Thanks,
    Sam

  2. Resizing windows

    It is not about resolution. Its about resizing of a window. When I do resizing using mouse pointers. The effect of the resizing doesn't show up in real-time while dragging. Instead when i leave the mouse click, that is when the window gets resized. What
    I want is that while click and dragging the mouse, the window should resize itself in real-time. I just cannot find the setting for that. Can you help?

    Windows 10 windows' borders are too thin!!

    That's OK, I have no intention of hiring you as a UI/UX designer either - and this has nothing to do with your problems with language.

    The border is not the visual cue at all.

    • It was not in Win 3.x because they had borders on resizable windows and non-resizable windows. The only difference was non-resizable borders did not have the little line to separate the corners.
    • It was not in Win 9x because they had borders on resizable and non resizable windows and with its preponderance of grey, it was often hard to tell where border ended and the program began.
    • It was not in XP but the default blue borders made it easier to tell the difference between the border and the program - but not between resizable and sizable ones.
    • As for XP, the same for the Aero twins - except both the resizable and non resizable borders were a simulated glass look.

    The one, true, real and only reliable visual cue for where you can resize a window since the beginning of resizable windows in Windows is the MOUSE CURSOR. When Apple copied Windows and moved their resize point from just the bottom left resize box to the
    edges, they copied the mouse cursor visual cue and not the border. They did this because it is poor UI/UX design to rely on a static visual cue that is hard or impossible to tell the difference from the same or virtually identical non-resizable border

    When you understand this and look at the identical border on the non-resizable Win 10 mouse control panel but still jump to the, at this point, weird conclusion that this same border in Edge means that the tab is resizable because it has a border, then you
    have shown no understanding of UI/UX. Just because you think it says "resize me " does not and never has meant you are right.
