Resizable floating window with notitle

Hi !

I'm looking for a way to make a floating window with "notitle" resizable, by clicking and dragging a box at the bottom right hand corner for exemple. I found a theoretical way (with "window getsize" message and [thispatcher], [jit.window] and [mousestate]) to make it work but I would like to know if there is any elegant/already existing shared solution by the community minds :)

Thanks !

it is almost impossible to do it with board tools, because of the issue that something will be sent to thispatcher while the mouse is still down (and then its value changes), except...

That is probably possible using js.

As this fits into my moveable UI scripts I added an example to resize a "notitle window" from the bottom right corner. Here

I have a device that sends the current time through OSC and I created a simple patcher with just the receiver, some little filtering and a big message box:
I can make that patcher (or at least, that message box) float out of Live so that I can move it to a second screen?
Thank you.
