DragAnyWindow is a way cool control panel that enhances the look and
behavior of window dragging. When you drag a window's title bar and
Solid Dragging is active, the whole window image is moved instead of a
dull-looking window outline. If the Update Windows option is also
active, all windows are updated on the fly without waiting for you to
release the mouse. Not as fast as the BeOS, but definitely better than
the standard Mac OS behavior!
DragAnyWindow also allows you to easily move any kind of window,
including dialogs, alerts, standard "Open" and "Save" dialogs, game
windows and other non-movable windows. It lets you bring back to the
desktop any window that has gone out of sight, or center the front
window on the main screen with a single keystroke. These options are
very useful for old applications designed for the 9" screen (which
often use fixed windows) and for moving modal dialogs and windows
behind them.
DragAnyWindow was created and written by [Alessandro (Alex) Levi
Montalcini][1] as a $10 shareware System Control Panel application.
Full documentation on how to make best use of this program, is
accessed from within the Control Panel. Add to the Control Panels
folder and restart the Mac to activate.
