Mu: Serial pane is difficult to resize

[hwiguna]

Issue:
Hot spot for resizing the serial pane is too small and sometimes I cannot resize it at all because mouse cursor remains as arrow rather than showing the resize cursor.

I'm running Mu 1.0.3 under windows 10.

I have that problem as well on Mac OS X Mojave.

This has been a long term pain-in-the-butt for me too... I've just spent 15 minutes Googling what the thing is in the Qt world, and apparently we need to figure out how to properly configure the `QSplitter class (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsplitter.html). I imagine there may be a way to pass in a default (i.e. larger) size for these things into the parent window object. But will require more work.

Scratch that... this appears to be the answer we need (I've just tried it, and it works): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4751594/how-can-i-change-the-width-of-a-qmainwindow-separator-without-it-affecting-the-q

I'll fix the existing CSS so the separator bar is slightly bigger.

No problem... this has been bugging me so much for years..! ;-)

I had no idea people were having problems, sorry everyone!

[ntoll]

No need to apologise..! Here's where I was hoping to get us:

For each theme:

• Make the separator a bit bigger.
• When the mouse is hovered over the separator, it changes colour slightly so you can see it's there and have something to aim for.

That's it. All do-able in CSS AFAICT.

A fix have just been merged! I'm closing this issue. The fix will be part of the next beta release of Mu.
