After reading the updated document I see two things about Window
Resizing:
"Windows should not be resized on any of the horizontal or vertical
edges of the windows."
and much later:
"A side-by-side mode should be offered so that two windows can split
the viewing area of a
single display. This should be accomplished by dragging the window
against the left or right
side of the display. The window should then snap into the half-screen
mode."
Rather than just copying off Windows 7, why not come up with something
else?
How about there are two (or more) windows. Clicking (dragging?) on the
side of one window makes it instantly scale to the next window, or if
no window is present, the edge of the screen. This way a user could
easily have 3 or more documents side by side, or even do 2 but tiled
vertically.
I agree that there should be a better way than how Windows 7 does it,
and I kind of like your idea, but it seems to me that the edge of the
window might be kind of a small target for grabbing as we would want it
to be easy to do quickly.
