You may +consider it to be RISC OS grown up ;) + +Functions that will be implemented but are currently missing: + Transparent resize. + Shading. + Backward-resize. + NOTE: Backward-resize is an interesting feature and quite useful. + If you resize a window such that you hit the screen edge + in the process, the window resizes 'backwards' (i.e. + moves in the opposite direction to your drag and at the + same time continues increasing in size). So instead + of having to let go of the resize handle, move the window + and resize again, it just does what you want it to do. + +Button functions: (Missing functionality is marked with TODO) + +Button One: + + Left button: TODO + Lower window and drop focus.
