OCSmart Hacks is an extension bundle which allows you in any native Cocoa application to:
use tear-off menus
resize windows by any edge and corner
move a window by any point inside its frame (not just by its title)
control (and, if want to, disable) the automatic creation of a new document / automatic maximization of a docked window if an application is launched and/or activated
export a formatted text into HTML
opo-up the main menu anywhere
and much more.
What's New
Version 2.0.3: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
Be the first to recommend a similar software title.
I'm sorry, but this piece of software so deeply hacks the Mac OS X interface, I'm going to have to pass.
You (the developer) will need to back up these hacks with solid (test proven) claims that it doesn't bork your system so badly that you get kernel panics or weird/odd behaviour.
How does this affect getting tech support from companies who write software for Mac OS X? I bet if you mention that you've installed this hack, a 3rd party developer (or even Apple itself) would be very unwilling to help you get past whatever bug you think you've encountered with their software.
The lengthy list of known bugs (http://www.ocs.cz/OCSmartHacks/KnownBugs.html) doesn't help me feel any better about this either.
If you are going to charge $29, a 30 day money back guarantee would be good too, to make sure that this software works in conjunction with all the other software that a person has installed on their system.

a little pricey but for: resize windows by any edge and corner
move a window by any point inside its frame (not just by its title)
does anything else do this? these are really nice functions to have (though i rather resize a window from anywhere on the window, hitting edges is a pain on a trackpad)

Re dragging windows by means other than just the title bar; yes, try WindowDragon, an APE Haxie -- not related to it in any way, I've just seen it around! : )
