I tried using KDE Window Resizer first but I didn’t like it. It doesn’t work for some programs I’m using. Good thing there’s a lot of response to this article and thanks a lot for sharing about taekwindow! It’s much better than the KDE Window Resizer.

[...] Secondshell tweaks Windows and provides easy and practical shortcuts for performing a handful of tasks, such as: Maximizing windows to the edges of the screen vertically or horizontally using keyboard shortcuts (see screenshots above) and resizing or moving windows by clicking anywhere on the window, then using Alt+left click drag to move or Alt+right click drag to resize (similar to KDE Window Resizer).

I’m using taekwindow http://taekwindow.sourceforge.net/
which also gives me a scroll-under-the-cursor functionality

Quite nice. It only uses 2.5MB memory on my system. It’s also portable, which I like. Thanks!

Personally i have no interest in this software, but i would just like to say that this entry on freewaregenius, the way it is written and explained, showcases what a fantastic blog this is!

Go, Samer, go!

alt+left click is a very bad idea: it’s useless for anybody who uses any image editing software (Photoshop, etc) professionally, the alt key being a frequent tool modifier.

no multimonitor support is a show stopper these days.

also, 6 megs is not reasonable for such limited functionality.

Taekwindow (http://taekwindow.sourceforge.net/) blows this dead in the water, without breaking a sweat: more functions, including the God sent “scroll window under mouse” feature, and with only 3 megs on my 4Gb RAM system.

AltDrag = Same functionality – much memory usage

It’s showing at under 1.5MB for me at the moment. Plenty customizable too.

winmover offers the same functionality and the possibility to minimize and maximize windows. It also requires less memory.

Why is this listed under web development?

This program might work on Windows 7 but Windows 7 already has a basic system in place. Drag the title bar to the top of the screen and it will maximise the window. Drag it to the side of the screen and it will maximise the height and set the windows width to half of the screen.

BTW sorry I’ve not got back to you yet on other matters but my work load has sky rocketed.
