Hello,

I was looking at some postings dating back to last month.

Regarding BorderWidth and HandleWith, the man pages are correct.

Only windows that do not have handles can have borders. What can

be slightly confusing is the following:

All windows with no handles are set by default to have:

Style * BorderWidth 1

Now, let us look at a window with handles: if you drag the mouse to the

edge of the handles the pointer/cursor changes from being one kind of arrow

to another kind. And yet the same operations are performed on the outer

edge of the handle as inside the handle.

Why then, is the cursor changing?

If we put

Style * HandleWith 100
and
Style * BorderWith 0

we still get those 1 pixel lines at the edge of the handle which change the

shape of the pointer.

Also try:

Style * HandleWith 2
Style * BorderWith 0

and

Style * HandleWith 1
Style * BorderWith 0

... in the second case there is no inner handle resulting in one pointer

type (the outer one) throughout the 1 pixel frame.

On the other hand,

Style * HandleWith 10
Style * BorderWith 10

does not add any other border to windows wich have already a handle.

... **** so, what is the deal with these 1 pixel thick lines ****
    **** around handles changing the shape of the pointer?   ****
    **** What is the significance of the pointer's change in ****
    **** shape?                                              ****
