[comp.sys.amiga] Sizing gadget.

Is there any reason the sizing gadget has to be in the bottom right corner
of the window (apart from the fact that that's where Amiga put it and there's
no support for it being anywhere else)? If not, I would like an enhancement
in V1.2: a SIZEBTOP flag that will put the sizing window in the top right
corner of the window like it is on the Sun and in Microsoft Windows.

Why? Well, look at a console window some time. If you have a sizing gadget
you lose at least one column or row of text. If the sizing gadget was in the
title bar, then all the other borders could be 1-2 pixels wide, allowing more
text in the window. You would have to move the depth arrangement gadgets in
a little when you selected SIZEBTOP, but that's life.
