Hi,
I recently changed from t(v)twm to fvwm2 and now I'm wondering
how it can be that such an extremely usefull feature like twm's
relative resize has been forgotten :-?
Twm is more open-minded than fvwm in not dictating the user where
to go with his mouse-pointer when he wants to resize a window.
Here's an excerpt from twm's manual page describing
AutoRelativeResize
This variable indicates that dragging out a window
size (either when initially sizing the window with
pointer Button2 or when resizing it) should not
wait until the pointer has crossed the window
edges. Instead, moving the pointer automatically
causes the nearest edge or edges to move by the
same amount. This allows the resizing of windows
that extend off the edge of the screen. If the
pointer is in the center of the window, or if the
resize is begun by pressing a titlebutton, twm
will still wait for the pointer to cross a window
edge (to prevent accidents). This option is par-
ticularly useful for people who like the press-
drag-release method of sweeping out window sizes.
So what do you think?
