Replying to [comment:22 humdinger]:
> There's nothing better than a direct comparison. I'm now convinced my
suggestion is not as nice as the other one.
That was quick. :-)
> Moving to the corner/border that should be resized feels much more
natural and is done fast enough. The occasional mis-navigation of the MMB
version OTOH is a bit annoying. Maybe one gets better over time, but it
doesn't seem to be worth it.
The threshold the algorithm uses could be increased to reduce the chance
of mis-navigation, at the cost of a later response. In case you want to
play with it, that would be in [http://dev.haiku-
os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/servers/app/DefaultWindowBehaviour.cpp?rev=39656#L728
this line]. The numbers are the squares of the distances (i.e. 4 and 8
pixels) the mouse has to travel before the respective phase (an initial
jitter phase and a phase for determining the direction) is completed.
Unless objections are raised I would consider the method scheduled for
removal.
> So, I stand corrected and hope Ingo forgives me for causing him more
work...
No worries, it wasn't that much work and I was interested to see how it
feels myself, too.
> The blue border selection isn't that nice, of course. With the S&T's red
and the normal yellow tabs, Haiku becomes a bit... colourful. :)[[BR]]
> Maybe S&T and the Resizing Management should use the same colour scheme.
I don't think that would lead to confusion. I've played around in
WonderBrush a bit, and what I find quite pleasing - please don't hit me -
is a discreet slow pulsing of borders/tab becoming slightly darker tinted.
By having this kind of unobtrusive animation, the actual brightness-
difference doesn't have to be as crass because the change draws the eye.
*cough* Yeah, I thought briefly about introducing animation, but decided
that doing it properly would be a bit more work than I was willing to
invest. I also thought about using the same color scheme as S&T, but TBH I
find that a bit too aggressive. But please, by all means, feel free to
change the scheme to something more consistent and pleasing. The colors
are selected in the `GetComponentColors()` methods of the [http://dev
.haiku-
os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/servers/app/DefaultDecorator.cpp?rev=39651#L1231
DefaultDecorator] and the [http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src
/add-ons/decorators/SATDecorator/SATDecorator.cpp?rev=39640#L466
SATDecorator]. They are mostly set/pre-computed in the constructor or
statically, save for the resizing border highlighting, which is
[http://dev.haiku-
os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/servers/app/DefaultDecorator.cpp?rev=39651#L1283
computed on the fly].
