resize with middle-mouse in titlebar
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
While I'm at it :) This is the second and last feature of sawfish I miss.
Alt+middle anywhere on the window will resize it, and you can resize by clicking the bottom edge of the titlebar with left mouse. Will be changing to top edge.
WONTFIX, then, Havoc?
I also missed this feature from Nautilus as it's IMO the most convenient way to resize a window with the mouse. Those small borders are usually too small and not every window has a resize handle. Pressing ALT is not very convenient. I would much prefer if every resizable window would just have a decently large and visually separated resize handle. This is probably part of the theme and I'm wondering why this isn't more popular among theme authors. I did something like this in one of my themes and found it to be very convenient. You can see it here: http://62.26.209.204/download/amadeus/Amadeus-Screen.png Notice the blue edges in the bottom left and right and the large bottom border which makes windowing a pleasure. :) Oopse, I got a little bit carried away here... I guess what I want to say is that it's not important to implement the middlemousebutton-on-title-resizing but if it isn't, resizing should be made a little bit more convenient (and hopefully more intuitive) IMHO. Maybe just creating a defaulttheme with nice resize-handles would solve this.
