- MacApp 2.0.1 has floating window support provided in a folder containing
- experimental enhancements (I forget the exact name of the folder). Just
- move the files in this folder to your MacApp libraries sources folder and
- examine the included examples to see how to use the new classes.
-
- MacApp 3.0 has a built-in TFloatingWindow class. I'm not sure if it supports
- resizing, though, not having used it yet.
