Since there seems to be a vocal interest in the window resizing mechanism
for the NeXT I'll try to summarize. Anyone who has access to a NeXT is
forewarned to skip this article. Hopefully, this article does not start
jihads over the relative merits of different resizing schemes.
In 0.9, the resize button in the title bar was replaced with a resize bar at
the bottom of a window. Like:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can move the bottom and side of the window simultaneously by starting to
drag the region adjacent to the side you wish to move in any direction except
left or right only. Moving a region adjacent to a side in only the left
or right direction locks the bottom in place for the resize and only allows the
adjacent side to move. You can move the bottom without moving a side by
dragging the middle region up or down.
