Aha, I see now. My mistake, sorry. <SNIP> > Prowess is an alternative window manager. We were discussing an idea > for simulating outline dragging in Wman. Yes, I know. My point being that Prowess was built on top of WMAN wasn't it? I'm sure that in order to run Prowess, WMAN had to be loaded. If so, and they managed this new border-dragging-resize then surely, WMAN must have had something to do with it under the covers? Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but with WMAN I can set the OUTLN of my window initially, then when doing a move, I can set it to the new location and preserve the contents. In addition, I can tell when the pointer goes onto the border (can't I?) and when a mouse is down. Can I therefore combine the two and work out that the user is dragging the border with the button down and use OUTLN to redraw the window at the new size of (old size plus or minus 1) - depending on which border is being dragged and redraw it? Just a though, I'm not all that clued up on WMAN etc yet - but I'm working on it.
