Description
Currently the default window resize style in Compiz is 'rectangle', which is similar to Windows 3.1 style. You drag a rectangle frame and only after you put it, the window is resized.
The default style in Windows since Win 98 and in Linux is that you simply drag the window's corner, so the window is resized automatically as you drag the mouse. This is what I ask for.

There should be an option to enable this kind of behavior...

The option already exists. But what's the purpose of having Win 3.1 style?

Real time resizing looks sloppy, unless there are smooth animations for each part of the window that changes. (Like resizing text in Wii News Channel) These animations are unnecessary, and very hard to implement for all apps, so this is not a good idea.
The rectangle looks neat and organized.

What's wrong with resizing that is by default in Linux without Compiz?

@Nxx, there's nothing wrong with it. The only problem is that the "normal" resizing doesn't look that good when compiz is enabled -mine doesn't-. Anyway, you can always change it and move on; but don't try to make YOUR personal preferences as defaults.
