Is there a way to make resize adornments always visible?

I want to make the resize adornment visible all the time so user can resize the node without selecting the node.

Is there a way to make resize adornments always visible?

You could override ResizingTool.updateAdornments not to depend on whether the node is selected. For example, in Diagram initialization:

            "resizingTool.updateAdornments": function(part) {
                if (part === null || part instanceof go.Link) return;  // can't resize links
                if (/*part.isSelected &&*/ !this.diagram.isReadOnly) {
                  var resizeObj = part.resizeObject;
                  var adornment = part.findAdornment(this.name);
                  if (resizeObj !== null && part.canResize() && part.actualBounds.isReal() && part.isVisible() && resizeObj.actualBounds.isReal() && resizeObj.isVisibleObject()) {
                    if (adornment === null || adornment.adornedObject !== resizeObj) {
                      adornment = this.makeAdornment(resizeObj);
                    }
                    if (adornment !== null) {
                      var angle = resizeObj.getDocumentAngle();
                      this.updateResizeHandles(adornment, angle);  // fix up any cursors to point the right way
                      part.addAdornment(this.name, adornment);
                      return;
                    }
                  }
                }
                part.removeAdornment(this.name);
              }
