Increase Window Resizable Area for Better Usability on High-Resolution Displays

[yuyosy]

What improvement do you think would an existing feature or tool in DevToys?

The window resizing functionality needs improvement, especially for users on high-resolution displays. Currently, the resizable area of the window’s edge is only 1 pixel wide, making it very difficult to resize the window. Many native Windows applications, such as the default Calculator, offer a wider resizable area that is more user-friendly.

This issue significantly disrupts workflow, especially when I frequently need to resize the window alongside other applications.

Solution/Idea

I suggest increasing the width of the resizable area around the window edges to 5–10 pixels. This would provide a level of comfort similar to that offered by standard Windows applications like the Calculator.

Implementing this change would make window resizing much easier and more consistent with other Windows applications, resulting in a more seamless user experience on high-resolution displays.
