Re: [AD] Resizeable windows

["Kirk Black" <runesabre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Having a resizable Allegro window would really be useful.

Will an Allegro developer be able to resize his/her application
programmatically?

Can set_gfx_mode be called more than once from within an Allegro program?
For instance, can I or will I in the future be able to change my application
to go from full screen to windowed mode without having to restart?  That
would also be nice.

I'm not sure anything but option2 will work properly. the app NEEDS to know 
when it gets resized. and I do believe theres a reason all the major gui 
toolkits do it the same way. it even makes it possible for a app to refuse 
the resize temporarily.
