Buried titlebars still an issue
Authored by: ryano on Jan 20, '03 10:16:44PM

I TRULY hate this "feature". Working on an iBook or older powerbook with a limited 1024x768 res or lower, often times I'm working in something where a window opens up that is larger than the screen. Now palettes cover up the widgets and the resize is off the screen. So it's exactly the nuisance you describe. I work in Director a lot and when you are working with a larger stage size, it gets to the point where the windowing system on the Mac really shows its flaws. At that point I end up switch hitting to get the job done. Yes it's nice to see these nearly borderless windows, but trying to hit that small resize widget is not easy most of the time, especially if it's not accessible. I really really want a hack that will let me resize from any side of the window or at least build it into the system and give an option to turn it off or on.
