Description David Edmundson 2018-06-11 13:46:17 UTC

We currently have 
v-resize and h-resize which looks like <-> 

kwin master has just gained support for 9 specific resize cursors depending on which edge is being resized i.e |->  or <-|    gtk also uses this in their CSDs.

This is useful if you have two windows near each other so you know if it's resizing the left edge of one or the right edge of the other. 

These should be called: ne-resize, n-resize, nw-resize, e-resize, w-resize etc.
representing north east south west for the edge

Ken I don't know how to draw mouse cursor icons but if you don't have time I can ping andreadelsa.

I worry that for example using |-> instead of <-> might visually suggest that the window is only resizable to the right.

For comparison, Windows and macOS both effectively use No Borders now (technically Windows 10 draws a single colored pixel, not sure that really counts) and use the standard double-arrow cursor for window edge resizing.

it could still look like |<-> if we wanted

Okay cool. Just wanted to share some feedback regarding single-headed vs double-headed arrows.
