KDE Mover-Sizer

Although Windows might not put too many customization features at your disposal, there are an abundance of utilities to install in order to enhance the way you interact with your computer. These can mean a simple color theme to make the environment suit your style or better accessibility options, one of the methods with which KDE Move-Sizer tries to help.

No installation is required so you can easily store the application on a USB Flash drive to use on the go. This means your PC's health status remains intact, while system resources used to deliver its features are far from being a concern.

The core function has a direct impact on how you move and resize a window. It does not replace the old fashioned way, but gives you the possibility to use an easier and more practical alternative, which is originally implemented in the KDE Linux Desktop Environment.

You don't get to work with too many features, all of them being configured by default to be as easy as can get. Simply holding down the ALT button on your keyboard and dragging a window makes it follow your cursor, from any position. The same goes for the options to resize, but applicable with a different key.

As long as you leave the application in the system tray, you can take advantage of all of its features. We must say that it's a considerable more comfortable approach on window management, but it would have been nice to see an option to make it run on startup.

A list can be created with custom windows not to be affected by this enhancement. You can enable a function that lets you scroll through inactive content, saving you time when working with a lot of programs piled up on your desktop.

There's a certain level of customization implemented, but only achievable by programming enthusiasts. No great knowledge is required, but in order to bring innovation or modify any existing feature, you need to snoop through contents of an INI file, manage the code and save the file.

Bottom line is that KDE Mover-Sizer manages to bring a little more comfort in both work and leisure environments. If you manage to overlook the lack of an option to integrate it in the list of startup programs, placing a window on your desktop and changing its size becomes pretty practical. What's more, it can be used on a wide variety of machines thanks to low resource usage and portability, making it worth a try overall.
