I'm 99% sure you've seen this because you've gotta know more about programming in OSX than I do (cause I don't know shit about it) but I found this on a google search (which I'm sure you did too).
But on the 1% chance you haven't seen this, here it is

Helpful? Already seen it?
LOL. Thanks for looking. And yeah, I've seen that. It's works great for moving the window, but not for sizing. WoW handles the resize event and blocks (maybe not intentionally) the resize using this method.
I'll try it again using the full code in the sample, but I was already basically doing the same thing. Maybe there is some minor thing I was missing.
Tried it out one more time, not sure if something has changed with 3.3, but I hacked on that sample and it kinda works.
If I adjust the height of the window, then it will resize the window if the size of the window isn't the "minimum" size for that aspect ratio.
My resolution is 1280x800, the minimum size appears to be 960x622 (600, 22 pixels for the title bar). So it looks like the minimum size is 75% of the resolution... until you try 800x600, which is 800x600.
Of course... it depends also on which of the graphics APIs you're using.
In 3.3 Blizzard re-did the window hosting which allowed us to resize the windows smaller than before, but introduced some horrible lag (not sure if that is fixed yet).
If us Mac users have set the SET gxapi "OpenGL" option in our on Config.wtf, then we're constrained by the original functionality (which I could have sworn didn't work pre-3.3 anyway).
If we don't have that flag set in the Config.wtf then we can size the windows better.
1280x800 -> 768x502(480)
800x600 -> 640x502(480)
So... it might be back on the table!
I posted this on the OSX tech support forums. I'm hoping to get a blue response. Those of you who are interested in this feature being added, maybe you could post on the thread indicating your interest in an answer to the question from a blue poster or developer of some sort.

Glad to see it's progressing! Good luck!
So whats the latest and greatest word on Plexer? Haven't seen anything new here in a bit over a week.
Still working away on re-writing the back-end of Plexer to support the new features I want and then on to the new UI.
Set this up over the weekend. Overjoyed to be able to move to my mac rather than PC. Worked pretty well.
I actually ended up running 4 copies by using Spaces and it work surprising well. Having the same window open at the same resolution and in the same place on each screen is a big boon, and OSX is pretty quick at switching between the windows, faster than Keyclone was on my top end PC. You may want to consider supporting Spaces as you look to adding support for UI control of the windows.
Now onto my small feature request list
I'd love a blacklist override key like Keyclone has so that everything can be sent when needed (like "/dance", which does not work with wasd blacklisted). I agree with other comments that a bolder indicator is needed for showing when Plexer is transmitting or not.
On the same topic, it would be great if we could set up a hotkey for each application that can suspend input to that individual application. This is very hand for the new instances where for example a single character needs to stop dps against the boss as he has been marked. Hot keying the passing of input this way would seem an elegant way of handling this and may also prove handy at other times.
Keep up the great work.
