Q: Mini Tool Partition
Hi,
I've created a windows 7 bootcamp partition on my macbook pro a few weeks ago to run Autocad and Revit and decided to increase it today. Everything went smoothly.
1. I decreased my osx 10.10.1 partition size through Disk Utility.
2. I then used mini tool partition to fill up the extra space i had made available. Increased windows partition from 50Gigabyte to 100Gigabyte
Since i did this on the windows 7 side is all looks great. showing i have around 400 Gigabyte on the osx drive and around a 100 on the windows drive.
On the other hand, the Mac partition, I use to have Windows 7 logo on my desktop which is no longer and when i look at the drives, its still shows the extra 50 Gigabytes I've freed through Disk Utility as free space and shows my windows partition as having 50 Gigabytes.
I know this is not much of an issue, and wont probably my experience in anyways, but my ocd sort of hates it,
Thanks a lot for your help and time
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Your Mac partition will continue to work, since the native GPT was resized. It is the MBR (being out of sync with GPT) which causes issues for Windows.
