XMonad.Layout.BorderResize

Contents

- Usage

Description

This layout modifier will allow to resize windows by dragging their borders with the mouse. However, it only works in layouts or modified layouts that react to the `SetGeometry` message. XMonad.Layout.WindowArranger can be used to create such a setup, but it is probably must useful in a floating layout such as XMonad.Layout.PositionStoreFloat with which it has been mainly tested. See the documentation of PositionStoreFloat for a typical usage example.

Synopsis

- borderResize :: l a -> ModifiedLayout BorderResize l a
