anywhere inside a window, then drag to resize,- The resize direction is determined by which region of the window is clicked. i.e. a right-click in roughly the top-left corner of a window will act as if you grabbed the top left corner, whereas a right-click in roughly the top-center of a window will act as if you grabbed the top of the window.
