- Another problem with WPS is the ability to move and resize windows.
- 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.
