Topic: Two small theme issues on 9.04.01 - warnings and window border

This isn't Statler (where does that name come from btw?) but the current #!

1) Gnome-type apps (gedit, evince, brasero...) sometimes put up warning messages, which are very hard to read with the current #! standard theme. You get dark grey letters on a black background.

2) The window left and right borders are very hard to grab for resizing. It feels as if there's only one pixel or so to hit - maybe this could be widened to two without sacrificing the elegant appearance?

Nice if these could be fixed in the new version, but they are relatively small issues.

The Statler Brothers, of course!

Actually, it's half of the Muppets team of Statler and Waldorf.  They're basically the Ebert and Roeper of the Muppet fictional universe.
