Yeah, I thought of that at first, but what if the user is not planning
on resizing? Do you bring up a window and have the cursor change to
diagonal arrows? From what I understood, Chris had a window that would
only display in a constrained aspect ratio. The first thing I would
think as a user was "what happened to the cursor?" If the user had
selected a tool or something, perhaps then I could understand changing
the cursor.
What I meant was, when they're holding down on the resize box of the
window, the cursor would change. So it would only change when they're
actually resizing.
Yeeaaahh.... I dunno... I'm not sure there is much bang for the buck.
Ol' Apple doesn't do it for QT Player... not saying that is good or bad,
just that they don't do it.
Personally, I really don't think you really need to do anything at
all. If they resize it, they will see that it is confined. If they
read the manual (stop laughing at me) then they will know for sure.
Haha...how many software manuals have you read this week? :)
ACTUALLY, I've been slumming through old 1991 IM manuals trying to glean
some info from it. But, then I don't even KNOW where the manual is to my
DVD player <grin>. Been trying to drag my sorry, er, butt, through a
bunch of RFC's (as exciting as, well, an RFC is). Like taking a sleeping
pill...<grin>
