SizeWell provides users with better window resize and zoom options.
While resizing a window in Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) or Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), hold a customizable modifier key to keep width/height, aspect ratio, centered, or to pin bottom right corner. In Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), Apple has overhauled window resizing, therefore SizeWell no longer needs to implement these advanced resizing features for Lion users. SizeWell can still displays window dimensions while resizing windows in Lion, and continues to offers many zooming features.

SizeWell provides users with better window resize and zoom options.
While resizing a window in Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) or Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), hold a customizable modifier key to keep width/height, aspect ratio, centered, or to pin bottom right corner.

SizeWell can still displays window dimensions while resizing windows in Lion, and continues to offers many zooming features.
When zooming a window, hold a customizable modifier key to maximize to whole screen or to any half. You can also override the standard zoom behavior (without holding a modifier key) to open the SizeWell Zoom Options menu or maximize to whole screen or any half. Undo a zoom by performing the same zoom feature again before doing anything else to the windows size or position.
SizeWell Zoom Options (available as menu of Zoom button by overriding the standard zoom behavior or right-clicking the Zoom button and as submenu of Zoom item in Window menu) contains features (with shortcuts):
After installation, SizeWell will even offer to eject the install disk and trash its disk image file.
Installation and cleanup, all in under 5 clicks!
Functionality demo video available on SizeWell Website.

This does not work on/with Finder windows. I hope the developer can add this capability.

I don't really think it is a problem when a dev addresses issues by releasing a couple updates in a few days. Better that in my opinion than never releasing a fix again.
One thing I'd like to see added is the ability to resize windows from any edge or corner preferably without holding a hotkey. I think that would give Mac users most of the same kind of window control found on Windows and Linux desktop environments. (And... maybe change the window maximizing behavior ala Right Zoom. That would save me one item running at startup. ^_^)
Thank you for this tool!

It works as described.
The 3rd listed function - "Hold down the shift key when zooming a window to actually maximize it." is the most useful to me.
I like it.

There is already a topic for the issue on SizeWell's Get Satisfaction support page: http://getsatisfaction.com/randomapplications/topics/conflict_with_photoshop_cs5_save_for_web_on_os_x_10_6_7
Please follow the issue there to get notified of the official fix when it happens. But again, in the mean time, just use SizeWell's blacklisting.
It's just a minor niggle, but it would be nice to avoid having to manually relaunch Finder on computer restart.
I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6) on a 13" MBP.

- Already had SIMBL 0.8.2 for my Leopard 10.5.8 here:
/Library/InputManagers/SIMBL/SIMBL.bundle
- Quit Finder and relaunched.
Resizing a window with any of the command key combinations doesn't produce the desired results; just resizes the window normally.
Suggestions?
