But is this really necessary?
Three options:
- review feedback and pick a sensible default value
- add a new option to ccsm
- link the actual radius with some other element that makes sense, e.g. the
shadow decoration.
KDE has a configurable border size somewhere in its theme options (option
#2). Gnome 2 used to link the radius with the theme border (option
#3). Windows and MacOS (Lion) don't have a configurable size, same as Unity
(option #1). I am not sure about Gnome Shell (but the default size seems to
be slightly larger than Unity).
This is on of those cases where a sensible default, well, makes sense. A
size of 8px or 10px would be easier to hit than 5px, without impacting
usability negatively (i.e. it still falls within the visible shadow
decoration, where you are unlikely to click to raise a window). It should
be a relatively simple change with a negligible chance of regressions.
