There has been some discussion how to indicate the resize direction of
windows when holding CTRL+ALT (the resizing is done with the right mouse
button), see [//www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/CtrlAlt-
window-management-functionality this thread]. At the moment, the
respective window borders are highlighted.
Instead of border-highlighting, one idea is to change the cursor and have
it indicate the current resize direction. I have created the necessary
pointers in Icon-O-Matic. Following Stippis advice, I imported them into
WonderBrush, added a little drop shadow and saved the cropped images as
PNG. It's all attached.
These are the pointers (I-O-M files without the drop shadow, PNGs don't
get a thumbnail...):

The hotspot should be on the upper left corner of the little window. That
way the little window should be steady while the arrows dis/appear when
moving the mouse, indicating the current resize direction.[[BR]]
Once the right mouse button gets pressed, the pointer changes to the
actual resize-cursor, which are already implemented. Likewise, left-
clicking will change into move-mode.
