"Window Max & Min buttons randomly work depending on the application"
That's because what the button with the plus on it (Zoom) is doing is not supposed to be making the window the size of the screen, but rather making the window the size that will display the most content from the current window with the minimum of scrolling. Some applications ignore this and just use the standard Windows behavior, hence the inconsistency.
- moultano 16y agoIn practice it seems that everyone loathes this behavior, hence the need for sites like http://maximizechrome.com/ http://maximizechrome.com/
- ptomato 16y agoI prefer it for most things, actually, web browsers being one of the few exceptions depending on monitor size. There's usually absolutely no point in maximizing something to full screen on a 27" 2560x1440px display, for example. But for the times when I do want to I use Cinch (http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/ http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/) which steals my favorite Windows 7 feature.
