I would like to drag a window by grabbing any part of the border and moving it around. I don't want this to resize the window. That way I could grab the bottom border and move the window off the top of the screen and out of the way. When I want it back, I just grab the little piece of the border and pull it down. The windows should have resize corners for size changes. When I resize a window I would like to make it any size that I want and let the font scale. Actually what I want is a combination of OpenLook and DeskView X. Dennis
