Hmm. Do you really want a toggle.
I know I've tried Maximise in the past, but never really want it.
(For example, various things (resizish things) don't seem to work on
maximised windows, because they're maximised!)
I now _only_ use Resize (and ResizeMove(sp?)).
I have key bindings to basicly do:
- resize 100 90 (top 10% of screen has tools in it for me)
- resize to any quadrant
- resize to left or right half of screen
- lower/raise stuff
For me at least, the notion of "maximise" as a state doesn't map to how
I work; I want "put a window over there, that size", and when I'm done
with it I close it or iconify it.
I'm curious: how many people really use "maximise" as a state toggle?
Cheers,
