Maximise hasn’t moved elsewhere, it’s been relegated to a secret (OK, not actually secret) shortcut – press Alt while you click the Full-screen button and you’ll get the old-school Maximise, which means your window will fill most of the screen but leave the dock and menu bar visible.Īpple clearly wants people to use Full-screen, swiping from app to app using their MacBook’s touchpad. The Close, Minimise and Maximise buttons are now Close, Minimise and Full-screen. That hasn’t happened, but Toolbars have been tidied and streamlined. We only wish Apple had also seen fit to pinch the auto-sizing of windows that leads to a pleasingly regimented arrangement of, er, windows in, um, Windows. Prettiness for prettiness’ sake is fine by us, mind, and it doesn’t even really matter that this sort of thing was introduced first by Microsoft way back at the launch of Vista. It’s terrifically pretty, but the level of transparency informs you only that there’s something behind the window you’re working on, rather than what it might be. Translucency is actually a big theme here, and is used to give toolbars and sidebars a frosted glass-like effect, allowing you to see colour tones of background content through your foreground programmes.
