I'd totally cough up money again for a version with window size and positioning (the rest would just be bonus for me!). Still loving Plexer, by the way - as a fellow programmer I tip my hat to you for continuing to give us updates!

I'd love to be able to do the window sizing... problem there is on Blizzard's end.I'll keep poking at that after I get the other stuff working.
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.
