AltDrag allows you to drag windows with the mouse when pressing the alt key. You can use the middle or right mouse button to resize windows. If you press the shift key while you drag or resize, the window will stick to other windows. You can double-click a window to maximize it. You can double-click with the middle mouse button to roll-up windows. Fullscreen windows, such as games, will not be dragged or resized.

You can also enable the ability to use the shift key when normally moving windows, or a feature that makes windows automatically stick to the screen borders and the taskbar without needing to press shift.

Updates

2009-04-24: Released 0.7. This version adds the ability to roll-up windows by double-clicking with the middle mouse button. I've also added a new feature called StickyScreen which makes windows automatically stick to the screen borders without needing shift. This only works with the Alt button unless you enable ExperimentalFeatures. I have also fixed a few bugs with ExperimentalFeatures, so it's working really well now, give it a try. In addition to that I've fixed a couple of small bugs, including an error message that sometimes popped up if you had AltDrag on autostart. I've also updated the installer, so upgrading should be a breeze.

2009-02-12: Released 0.6. This version fixes some small bugs, most notably one which made AltDrag ignore the -hide switch. It also adds the sticky behavior to resizing. There's a new language as well, Korean, thanks to 김장환 Jang-hwan Kim! This version should no longer have any false positives on antivirus scanners since I no longer compress with upx. I hope you find that the update checker was useful, let me know if you have feedback or questions, either via email or post in the forum (no registration required)! You can use the installer to overwrite the old version, there is no need to uninstall the old version in advance.
