Have you ever played with the Windows APIs for resizing windows? It's an abomination. I spent more time writing windows resizing code, then I did writing the application!! Helpfully you can set a property mode to run maximized and remove the unmaximize button. I also know a Mac user who runs things maximized on her little 12" 1024x768 screen, but she only moved from Windows two years ago, with her even smaller 800x600 screen. At the same resolution, on 15" I don't maximize anything, I like seeing background around my windows, it gives me a sense of spatial reference, or something... -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://www.davyd.id.au/pgp/> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
