Windows 10 VMWare Player 16 Difficult to resize as Window border 1 pixel

Hi

In Windows 10,  is there anyway to adjust the window border thickness of the VMware player (version 16) ? It seems to be 1 pixel thick, when all my other application windows have much thicker borders ? 

The reason for asking is that it is very difficult to resize the Virtual Machine window on Windows 10 as the windows mouse pointer only changes to a resize mouse pointer when you are exactly on the edge, whic hwith this thin border is very diffcult to get to.  

In this screenshot below you can see that in area 1, the VMWare Player 16 window border is very thin - 1 pixel, whilst compared to area 2, the MS Edge browser window border is much thicker - so it's not a windows setting that needs changing.

I Know this is a bit old, but on windows, you can resize the active window, by hitting: Alt Spacebar, then selecting Size from the dropdown (or pressing S), then moving the cursor with the mouse to the side or bottom edge and dragging. You might need to do the sizing in two steps, one horizontal, then vertical, but at least it is easier than trying to pick the one pixel border.
