Widen panel dividers

Maybe I'm getting old ;-) ... but I'm frustrated wasting precious seconds moving my cursor back and forth across the panel dividers in a perspective trying to position the cursor precisely in the 2-pixel (or so it seems) width of the divider, required to obtain the double-headed arrow which allows pane resizing.

Can you (1) increase the width of the pane dividers (less-preferred), (2) increase the width _near_ pane dividers by which a potential resizing operation might be recognized (most-preferred), or (3) allow the user to define the width of these dividers?


Use Case:

Resizing panes in the LPEX editor.

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.
