[Bug 900367] Re: Window management - indicate the possibility of restoring (unmaximizing) a window by changing the pointer when it is over the menu bar

 

** Description changed:

  The cursor should indicate that a maximized window can be grabbed and
  dragged downwards in order to restore (unmaximise) the window.
  
  The idea is to change the current behavior of the cursor on the top
  panel of a maximized window in something like in the attached mockup.
  
  --------------------------------
  Desired solution
  
- - When a user moves the pointer over the dragable area of both a window title bars and (when a window is maximised) the top bar, the pointer should change to displaying 'grabbing hand'.  The pointer should revert to it's normal state as soon as it is outside of the dragable area.
- - The 'grabbing hand' is the hand that is currently displayed when a user holds the left mouse button down when over one of areas defined above.
+ - When a user moves the pointer over the dragable area of both a window
+ title bars and (when a window is maximised) the top bar, the pointer
+ should change to displaying the 'hand fingered' pointer.  The pointer
+ should revert to it's normal state as soon as it is outside of the
+ dragable area.
+ 
+ - When the user presses the mouse or touchpad button the 'hand fingered'
+ pointer should change to the 'grabbing hand'.  When the user releases
+ the button the pointer should return to being 'hand fingered'.
+ 
+ - The 'grabbing hand' is the hand that is currently displayed when a
+ user holds the left mouse button down when over one of areas defined
+ above.
