Hi Dore,

I agree, that there are workarounds, but I still want a Visual convenient tool for this. At least I want to be able resize Builders and Designers.

What I'm saying, that it's inconvenient in its current implementation for this kind of task. Since nobody agrees with me, that it would be better to change, I may do it for myself in a future, when I would have time.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
