SUMMARY

You may have trouble sizing a window or seeing the border colors if the window border width or frame is too narrow. The border width can be increased by selecting the Desktop icon from the Control Panel and entering the desired width in the Border Width field.

MORE INFORMATION

The border width sets the width of the borders around all the windows on your desktop, except those that have a fixed size (such as Control Panel). The range is 1 (narrowest) to 49 (widest).

If your window border colors do not change or appear after you have changed the colors by choosing the Color icon from Control Panel and selecting the desired color, the border width is probably set to a value that is too narrow to view. To resolve this problem, select Desktop from the Control Panel and increase the border width until the colors appear.
