Description of the new feature / enhancement

Many many years ago in a far far away galaxy I had a mouse utility that allowed to fine-tune and adjust everything in matters mouse including the pointer active zone area (tip).

For example: the response active area size of the tip of the pointer arrow, 1 or more pixels or even at a different location i.e. in the center of the pointer arrow.

Most importantly, when sizing a window, the pixel range where the mouse pointer switches over to the sizing double arrow over the windows border. For example 2 - 3 pixels or more tolerance and not the current default setting of 1pixel.

Scenario when this would be used?

Since the geniuses of Windows 10 et al decided that now on the borderless windows you have to be accurate within 1 pixel for that sizing double arrow to show and function, good luck with that if you have a 4K screen resolution. It's very frustrating and nearly impossible to say the least. next to impossible on a touchpad.
As it is right now, I have to be exactly with the pointer [tip] over edge of a window otherwise it will not work and I never get the sizing double arrow.

To be clear I don't mean a mouse pointer design app.
Rather a utility app that allows to adjust the default active area of the default mouse pointer et al.

Supporting information

I tried to find such out there but I have not gotten any relevant results.

/needsinfo This feature is asking that the click targets for the edges of the windows be easier to grab, correct? For example, if I am trying to resize my windows on a wide-screen monitor, I want that edge of the window to be easier to grab than this very narrow margin without also clicking behind what I want to grab.

I want to make sure I understand the ask correctly as this is my interpretation, thanks!
