[QUOTE="technologist, post: 41483, member: 4134"] This is something of a philosophical issue. On the Mac, you generally [i]don't[/i] maximize windows. In general, you try to make the window large enough to show its contents, and no larger. This leaves space for other things (windows/icons/desktop/toolbars) in the remaining space. Only if the window's contents are actually too large to show without taking up the whole screen should a window actually fill the screen. It was originally sort of a reaction to the old DOS days, when whatever you were doing always took up the entire screen. Now, to answer your question: If you really must cover every pixel of your desktop, try manually resizing the window (using the lower-righthand corner) to the largest size. Then try quitting and reopening Netscape. [/QUOTE]
