At least the window settings app can be resized like normal apps

Unless you want to resize windows from the left edge :-)

This is great! Any plans to allow for window resizing on Win10 systems (and others if not yet implemented)?

Does windows have super button to move and resize. Also im way more used to x style focus on hover. Windows is missing this.

You seldom resize, or drag windows?

I just used win+ arrow keys, never missed the resizing.

I'm used to maximising and resizing windows by double clicking on the title bar. I wonder if it will be possible now.

I learned to grab to resize windows in XFCE from upper right corner exactly because of this

This is a fake issue. You should just be using window snapping which finally is included directly in the os

Please, for the love of god, add native window snapping.
