You can press Alt+F8 on your keyboard and then use your cursor keys to
resize it. First press the direction of the side you want to grab and
then resize it by moving that side with your cursor keys. When done
simply press Alt+F8 again and your set.

Moving a window when you can't see the titlebar can be accomplished by
pressing Alt+F7, cursor keys, Alt+F7, or by simply holding Alt when
dragging anywhere in the window.
