[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 678086, member: 12177"] Let's not try and convince each other of what the "right" UI style is. Each person prefers different things. While Windows API and KDE have a button that maximises the window, OS X has the zoom button, the function of which is entirely up to the developer of the program. Firefox, for example, uses the zoom button as a maximise button, whereas iTunes makes it toggle between full view and controller view. I seem to recall a freeware app called "Mega Zoom" that let the user "full screen" any (Cocoa) window they felt like doing so with, and it provided a simple keyboard shortcut for the action too. I'd advise those interested in having a quick fix for maximising for all windows to look up that project if it's still around. [/QUOTE]
