[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 431822, member: 9385"] Oh, I don't know about that. It sometimes seems that the green button is randomly selecting sizes when clicked, but then again I don't use the green button all that often since I didn't really use apps screen-maximized back before I got a Mac. Then again, I've been multitasking since back in the UNIX workstation days of the late '80s. One time that is very useful to use the green button for is with Preview viewing PDF files. Preview seems to always select some random itty-bitty font so I need to zoom within Preview to get the font readable. But then the text runs off each side of the window, so for say, a train schedule that's wider than it is tall. I could scroll sideways with my MM ball, but all I have to do is hit the green button, and preview zaps it so that it's wide enough to read the entire page at the current zoom. I think it's just Apple's mysterious, and no doubt well thought rules for what the green button should do in any given situation. With windows, the equivalent button does one thing that most Mac users don't have any use for. [/QUOTE]
