Our Verdict
Flexiglass(Mac App Store link ) is a neat idea for window resizing from Mac exploitation company Nulana : it use keyboard shortcuts and multitouch gestures to help you apace move your windows from place to position without drag on and dropping .
In addition , you’re able to apply several keyboard shortcut to mechanically resize window to a certain constituent of the screen — for illustration , centering a windowpane , or making it expand to fill up the top one-half of the screen only .
There are also assorted little preferences that extend remapping of certain window functions : three-fold - clicking on a title barroom to maximize the window ; map the green Zoom clit to maximize the window full , and mapping the cherry-red Close clitoris to actually discontinue the app .
In practice , Flexiglass has a circumstances of promise , though its aliveness are occasionally jerky and I found it tough to think all the keyboard shortcut for various windowpane locating . I loved being able to hold down a single key and use a two - finger gesture to resize and or move a windowpane , but it can be a small twitchy if you have your mouse pep pill set too high .
Still , Flexiglass is an intriguing effectuation of the Mac ’s availableness feature , and worth trying if you ’re interested in childlike window movement .
