Also like Zooom very much. How did I live w/o it? (chorusing other feedback). Valuable the same way SideTrack is. Using OS X 10.5.1 on a PowerBook.

Zooom's way of using more of a gestural motion for resizing & moving windows w/o looking for a specific spot on a window w/ a mouse/trackpad will quickly pay for Zooom. Why? Because of less repetitive motion wear & tear on my body.

See freeware, WindowDragon, mentioned as an alternative. However I'm leery of haxies such as Unsanity's APE, which is required; haxies have sometimes created anomalies in my OS.

xPad: I can't resize docs by dragging the mouse inside the window; still have to grab the window's corner.

Oxford American Dictionary widget: Zooom isn't able to resize. Have to drag the corner of widget.

Works well w/ TextEdit, Finder, Safari, Firefox & VLC.

Safari: One of Zooom's default keyboard cmd, Cmd + Shift, interferes w/ Safari's keyboard command to open a link in new tab. So I had to change Zooom's default Move cmd in Prefs.

Photoshop CS: Can move images around w/ Zooom but when resizing window of opened image, window grows larger but image does not increase in size. Didn't take time to check if Zooom's keyboard resize cmd mirrored one of Photoshop's bazillion keyboard commands?

Zooom CommentaryZoom prevented me to go back to Linux - Version: 2.0.3, 12/18/2007 02:32PM PST

It's hard to "suffer" the OS X desktop without Zoom...when you come from the easy-moving and easy-resizing that is today's Linux desktops.
I have only one request: allow to use the same key for both move/resize and use the mouse button to distinguish between actions.

Zooom Troubleshooting ReportStill crashes PathFinder - Version: 2.0.0, 11/5/2007 09:24PM PST

I like, and paid for, this product but cannot use it with PathFinder (under Tiger and Leopard). Still get PF crashes whenever I click on the search window when Zooom is active. Neither developer can seem to figure it out. Not a travesty for sure but I wish I could get this resolved. If anyone else had this issue and solved it, feel free to reply.

thanks!
