Thank you for considering my suggestions. There are (hopefully) two final suggestions to this useful answer. 1st, use the term value for BorderWidth and PaddedBorderWidth, and 2nd, use a fixed font for both in the text (at least on their first occurrence) to make it easier to understand the reference in the sentence starting with “The two registry keys [i.e. values] do not change […]”

About your questions: 1) regedit was the only app affected of several I had open for testing; 2) In TEST 2 changing BorderWidth likely did not affect vertical dividers or I would have noted it; In TEST 3 all affects in TEST 1 and TEST 2 occurred with the values shown (87 and 125 pixels), so vertical dividers were 87 pixels. Hope that helps! | |

| Apr 2 at 8:26 | comment | added | user3728501 | So... is there something that can be concluded as general advice? Clearly setting the grabbable distance to something like 45 pixels is insane for most people. (Fair enough perhaps if you have a motor disability.) I think I'm correct in saying the default is 1 px, which in the era of post-1080p monitors is also completely insane. Perhaps 3-5 pixels would be a good compromise. Maybe 10 on some very high resolution monitors. (8k?) How should one do that. | |
