We > just need a way of enlarging or shrinking a window by pixels. For some value of "just" ;-) Implementing such a thing is fairly easy modulo the fact that you have to recursively resize subwindows when changing the size of a frame. See the routine change_window_height in XEmacs' window.c for how they do it. What's also needed: (1) Pixel-to-character conversion routines. (2) Pixel-wise mouse tracking and coordinates_in_window stuff. (3) Pixel-wise window-configurations storing and comparing. Once done we should then be able to also provide pixel-wise window scrolling and the ability to start a window at an arbitrary pixel position (that is, within a character). martin
