Description Amadeus 2009-03-26 22:04:52 UTC 
Right now you resize a window by finding the few pixels on the border that allow you to drag the window.

I propose that the title bar have resize buttons for vertical, horizontal and diagonal resize.

+---+---+---+--------------------------------+---+---+---+
| H | D | V |          Window Title          | _ | - | x |
+---+---+---+--------------------------------+---+---+---+

H = Horizontal resize
D = Diagonal resize
V = Vertical resize

Holding down left mouse button on these buttons and moving the mouse resizes.

Alternatively just one resize button?

+---+----------------------------------------+---+---+---+
| R | ................ Window Title ........ | _ | - | x |
+---+----------------------------------------+---+---+---+

Some programs, like Pidgin, doesn't have a status bar, so having resize in the title would resize all programs easy.
