Move & Resize
- Usually, when you want to move or resize a window on a Mac you are limited by its title bar or lower-right corner. Flexiglass enables more comfortable window management. To quickly move or resize the active window just place the mouse cursor over it, press definable key and start dragging windows with left or right mouse button.
- If you used to work with more than one window at a time Flexiglass will help you to arrange windows on your screen any way you like. Just move a window to the right, left or top, and it will automatically resize and move itself to fill the half of the screen or full screen.
- User-defined shortcuts allow users to move windows to the right, left, top and bottom halves of the screen or to maximize them to full screen and back to original size.
- You can use finger gestures on your macbook trackpad or Magic trackpad to move and resize. Flexiglass is able to save different settings for a trackpad and a mouse and automatically change them when you plug or unplug devices.
- Double-click on window title bar is the easiest way to expand it to full screen.
- You can change the default behavior of standard Mac OS X buttons. Right-click on the green Zoom button will maximize a window to full screen. Right-click on Close window button will quit the whole application.

Otherwise, this program is potentially the most efficient with regard to CPU and RAM usage of its competitors.
The best of the breed was Zooom2 but it doesn't work correctly when resizing windows on Lion.

What i missed before I paid for this is that the window resizing is not four-quadrant, meaning that windows can't be expanded to the left or top. I hope this gets fixed real soon.

I really don't get why such a basic feature is not already implemented...

Flexi glass has a much superior way of dealing with snapping. Try it you will see. The keyboard shortcuts are really nice for the old school who still think keyboard shortcuts are better than gestures. ;)

BTT was a pioneer for sure but with Lion it is just not required for me.
For extension I still think keyboard shortcuts built into apps are easier as I seem to able to remember them over fancy gesture patterns. The only gestures I can remember are easy ones like Apples in Lion. I used about the same on SL via BTT myself but with Lion I am happy now with Apples built in way.
On a side note I think jitouch is far more polished than BTT.

Before I purchased this software they were very responsive, but now that I purchased it emails to them on June 13th (i.e. 3 weeks ago) have went unanswered. Nothing... not even a 'we'll get back to you on it.'
I have multiple problems using dual monitors and they appear to be either in denial or simply unable to fix the problems.
I would not recommend any developer that does not provide reasonably quick responses.

At first in french, aweek ago. No response.
So i asked help again on their website, in my best english.
On their site it is mentioned "We guarantee a response for every request within 2 business days. If you don't get a reply from us, check your junk/spam folder ... and more". No response, nothing in my spambox.
Not fair at all, This is a behavior indecent.I regret having purchased this app at the developer. No after sales service. Do not buy !

I would suggest you do as I did... I got a refund.
This app has great potential but it appears that there are some features that are not able to be resolved as yet.

With reference to my reply of 12 Aug, I write to tell you that I have received a response of the developer this morning 13 Aug.
This allows me to register again Flexiglass 1.2 ho works fine with OS X 10.6.8. But I cannot update to v 1.3, it crashes my computer.
I await now a solution definitif to be able to update without crashes.
