Hi,

It is hard to get a grip on resize bar for resizing panels (i.e. Errors & Warnings panel) - hard to position cursor over it. Perhaps the problem is due my 4K monitor? Anyway, make the area of resize bar bigger if possible.

Could you please attach a screen shot, showing how it looks like in your screen in comparison with the cursor?

Screenshots are excluding cursors, I think. Not sure how to include it. However, compared to VS2015 it looks like designer has one pixel, while VS has 2 or 3 of them to place cursor over. Try comparing them.

This is likely a DevExpress issue, as we simply use the defaults for the DevExpress controls. It might be they fixed in 16.0, we're still on 15.2 I think, I'll check but in any case, we can't do anything about this other than hope devexpress fixes things. Do you see it as well in the demo app for devexpress winforms docking?

Yes, same with 15.2 demo but better with 16.1. demo. So eventually it'll be autosolved when you upgrade

In the meanwhile I asked them whether there is a way to increase those sizes.

Good to know it's better in their next version I'll add a workitem to upgrade to 16.1 in v5.1 so it will be fixed automatically there

Here is the option that allows you setting desired splitter size (introduced in 16.1 as well) https://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/DevExpressXtraBarsDockingDockingOptions_CustomResizeZoneThicknesstopic

Yes but that's not useful I think, as I can't detect whether i'm on a 4K display, and I don't want a thick bar on normal displays

Looking at my non-4K monitors it seems that it is hard to position cursor on spliiter as well. So it might be useful after all.

I face no problems with it on my 2560x1440 screen.

same here (1920x1200).

Ok, perhaps it is subjective . Anyway, 16.x will do it for me once updated.

I think I know what might be the cause of my behavior. I'm using 150% custom sizing option on Advanced display settings. Which might be confusing 15.x DX components.

Could be indeed. Plus, DE has added more HiDPI support to 16.x, which also might be a problem for v15.x using apps
