RE: [Interfacewm-discuss] Re: IWM design: OS X-esque resize corne r?

[Mondragon, I. <ian...@ba...>]

i agree with tim on this.  and if i were to implement the OS X-style resize
corners, these would only be something like 10x10 squares in the absolute
corners...and from what i can remember of xv, it's buttons are that small
<grin>.

besides, i realized that some problems could arise due to a couple of
problems (like OS X apps have that corner used because the scrollbar fits
above it, whereas X apps aren't that nice).  so this is going on the back
burner at the moment.

however, if anyone's got any other cosmetic suggestions, fire away.
