[QUOTE="J.Fo, post: 1053592, member: 66834"] If you really want to make the green + button behave more like Windows, you can download something like [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30591/right-zoom"]Right Zoom[/URL], which will make that button maximize open windows by default. However, I have to agree with those here who say that maximizing windows--especially on some of these high resolution widescreen displays--is really unnecessary and a waste of space. At least for some programs. I do prefer to have iTunes and iPhoto open at maximum, just because it's easier to work with those apps in that mode. But for something like web browsing, you don't really need it. Oh, and in answer to the original poster's question, I keep my Dock on screen at all times and have it on the bottom. I did make it a bit smaller though. The default size was too big for my tastes. [/QUOTE]
