Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / April 2008Utility to Grab a Window Anywhere??
Is there a tool somewhere that will allow me to grab a window ANYWHERE along its border to move it or resize it, rather than only being able to grab the top header or lower corner, respectively? Seems to me there was something like that for classic, or maybe it ran slow or was otherwise a pain somehow. Any ideas?

I'm wishing for a background application that will switch the focus to the window under the cursor, but it's been years and either no one used to Xwindows has bothered to write it or it breaks to easily.

Off the top of my head, that seems tricky to do in the context of Mac OS X unless you also want (or are willing to tolerate) activating windows on mouseover. It's trivial for a single app to do it among its own windows (and Terminal.app offers an undocumented pref to do so) but an after-market system-wide patch would be tough, IMO.

MondoMouse-- see URL in my signature. Grab the window anywhere to move or resize, not just in the usual places.
