Resizing a PIP window should show some percentage value and should have an option to set specific sizes (25%, 50%, 75%, 100% etc) easily

Could resizing a PIP window show a zoom percentage (in its title bar) during the drag? It's hard to know when it's back to normal.

There should also be an option to easily set specific common sizes (25%, 50%, 75%, 100% etc) in relation to the streamed content's native resolution.

I would also include a way to set size as a custom value, and perhaps an option to set its size as a % of the main display's width or height. A good UI model for choosing between these three modes are two input boxes (one for W/H), three buttons or a dropdown for the three modes, and a checkbox or icon to maintain aspect ratio. The three modes being:

  1. Set size as % of sub-display's resolution
  2. Set size as % of main display's resolution
  3. Set size as manually input value

I could also see a world in which setting a size in physical units would be useful for some applications, but that feels very niche and difficult to calculate/potentially error-prone.
