- Lammy 7y agoThere's no need for the sarcasm.
- JulianMorrison 7y agoIt's aimed at Microsoft.
- int_19h 7y agoThe "Maximize" icon in Windows is clearly a stylized depiction of a window with a toolbar, sized to fit the button on which it is. I don't know if it's the perfect icon for this action, but it makes a lot of sense. Why should it stand for iconification, even if Windows still had that feature (last time it did was Win 3.11)
- hjkgfdfgh 7y agoIn the context of Nextspace, Nextstep, or Windowmaker, it stands for Iconificaiton because it is "clearly a stylized depiction of" the icon that appears when a window is iconified. Compare the iconify button with the icons representing iconified windows below: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trunkmaster/nextspace/master/Documentation/NEXTSPACE_Screenshot.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trunkmaster/nextspace/mast...
