[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1064906, member: 88633"] Thrillhouse, if you have a window that is filled with content, clicking the green Zoom button WILL maximize that window to reveal everything within it. So if you are working with a big list of photos or text or anything else, your window will resize accordingly. The only time the Zoom button does not maximize to full screen is if the window's content doesn't actually fill the window. For instance, if you have a web page with text that goes down a long ways but does not reach all the way across the page, clicking the Zoom button will maximize the window as much as it can vertically, but will only expand horizontally enough for you to see the text. In other words, extra blank space is not considered "window content" and so the window will not maximize to include it. However, some applications might work differently with the Zoom button, and I've noticed that even with RightZoom, some windows don't maximize the way it does in Windows. Also, keep in mind that if you drag the edge of a window so that it fills the screen, clicking the Zoom button will remember the way you positioned the window and will toggle back and forth between a smaller window and your "custom" maximized one whenever you click it.
