#7115: Mouse pointer indicating resize direction ----------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: humdinger | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Servers/app_server | Version: R1/Development Keywords: CTRL+ALT resizing | Blocked By: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All Blocking: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------- There has been some discussion how to indicate the resize direction of windows when holding CTRL+ALT (the resizing is done with the right mouse button), see [//www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/CtrlAlt- window-management-functionality this thread]. At the moment, the respective window borders are highlighted. Instead of border-highlighting, one idea is to change the cursor and have it indicate the current resize direction. I have created the necessary pointers in Icon-O-Matic. Following Stippis advice, I imported them into WonderBrush, added a little drop shadow and saved the cropped images as PNG. It's all attached. These are the pointers (I-O-M files without the drop shadow, PNGs don't get a thumbnail...): [[Image(resizable-cursor.png)]] The hotspot should be on the upper left corner of the little window. That way the little window should be steady while the arrows dis/appear when moving the mouse, indicating the current resize direction.[[BR]] Once the right mouse button gets pressed, the pointer changes to the actual resize-cursor, which are already implemented. Likewise, left- clicking will change into move-mode. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7115> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
