[QUOTE="yogi, post: 273615, member: 8542"] OS X dpes not have a maximize function @theonegood. OSX doesn't have this because it's contra-productive according to Apple's usability guidelines. A window taking up the whole screen is a waste of screen space and blocks the user out from quickly accessing other windows on the desktop. No everyday application needs to be run in fullscreen. Photoshop, being a Mac app originally, knows this, and thus is divided into many little windows. In WinXP, Photoshop windows are put inside one big window... kinda stupid actually. You'll love this approach. I remember when sitting at a windows box again and feeling lost. No Exposé (press F9 to see Exposé) and the window is just huuuuge..... [/QUOTE]
