Maybe its just because I came from Windows, but I generally expect hitting the maximize button to take the app to take up the whole screen space. On OS X, some apps do and some don't.
This violates #3 for me.
Another one is minimizing a window and then Alt-Tabbing to it (whatever the Mac equivalent is..) doesn't bring that window back up.. You are just left staring at the same app.
This violates #1 for me.
- chrisoverzero 12y agoMaybe it is indeed because you come from Windows, but OS X doesn't have a Maximize button. The green light of OS X's traffic-light configuration is Zoom. But it's becoming Full Screen in Yosemite, so that should be closer to what you want out of the button. As to your second point, that probably has the same cause. On OS X, you Cmd-Tab between applications, not between windows. Within an application, you can Cmd-Backtick between windows, but I don't think there's a navigatable collection of all windows across all applications.
