Reshape windows like windows 7?

Is there any way to quickly reshape a window like windows 7?? I thought I posted this question, but I think I dreamed I did... lol

 

not that i know of. I'm interested in a utility which might give osx this functionality.

"Right-Zoom" will make the green button act as a maximize button would in windows.

 

I poked around for a long time to try to find similar functionality in OSX, but I don't think there is. The instant resizing of windows to 50% of the screen, simply by dragging the window until the mouse cursor hits the side of the screen (as well as dragging to the top to go 100% of screen, or clicking that top-right button to go 100% of screen), is one of the advantages Win 7 has over OSX when comparing what benefits each OS has over the other. It may seem like a gimmick at first but it's a BRILLIANT gimmick. I use it constantly.

 

There are quite a few small programs that do this. I personally use Moom. It's $5 from the App Store.

 

thanks! I might buy moom, can it work on lion? Also how would you rate it?

 

It's good at what it does, works fine under Lion and seems more Mac-like than something like SizeUp (at almost three times the cost). I've since come to realize though that I actually very rarely use this specific tiling functionality in either OS.

The homepage has screenshots and a demo if you're on the fence.

 

Try BetterTouchTool: Great Tools For Your Mac By Andreas Hegenberg BetterTouchTool, BetterSnapTool & SecondBar

It's free and has the functionality you want from Windows 7, plus other very awesome stuff like recustomizing gestures and such. I highly recommend it.

 

YOU ARE AWSOME!!! Come here and let me give you a kiss!!
