Worse come to worse we can bring the border highlighting back. Try the current functionality out first and see if you think it is acceptable. I removed it because I am trying to show what action will take place via the mouse cursor only. Since this is a RMB action there isn't a good way to indicate the action until you click. This is one of the reasons I oppose RMB drags in the first place, they have poor discoverability. The only reason to bring the border highlighting back is to improve discoverability but it doesn't tell you too much since it still won't indicate the RMB action, you just have to know it. What we really need is a key combo that displays the resize arrows before you click. I thought if we used option for the window management instead of ctrl+alt we use control then to show the resize arrows (following the pattern that ctrl+LMB == RMB) but apparently option drags are already used and therefore not an option here.
