You can use command-click to resize a window as well or move it around from anyplace if it is a metal window.

Anyway I would recommend against breaking the option click behavior currently defined for Mac OS X. Doing so is going against the Apple HIGs and bypasses a feature that folks are rather used to using. What about using command clicking instead since that better aligns with what is already done.

It does. It allows dragging from anywhere in the window, not just the titlebar. It also allows resizing by option-right-clicking and dragging.

Hi Steve,

I was under the impression that command+dragging windows would allow you to move any window around without activating that window. Does yours do something more?

Is there a way that I can programatically (or otherwise) override the option-click in another application hiding the current foreground application behavior? I'm writing a...I suppose plugin is the most descriptive noun here...that allows (currently only) option-drag to move any cocoa window around (http://sf.net/projects/clickdrag/). One of the most useful applications of this would be to option-drag windows belonging to other applications around without a, hiding the current application and b, bringing that window to the foreground.
