![]() ![]() What I do is have a series of Spaces (virtual desktops) with different sets of apps in them. And even if Mac users wanted to maximize apps, most casual users don’t know how, and I personally don’t like the Alt+Enter style fullscreening macOS uses by default. On displays so jam packed with pixels, you just need less space to read stuff. So honestly, I blame the high-density Retina displays and Apple’s non-maximizing technique of fullscreening. ![]() Even if my messages window is tucked behind 15 other apps of varying window sizes, a two-finger double tap on my mouse summons all the windows into view, with no overlap, and I can easily just find the one I need. I know Windows has a similar feature now, but three finger swiping on a trackpad or double, two-finger tapping on a Magic Mouse opens App Exposé, so it’s easy to find whatever I need without needing to sort and maximize and snap my windows. And not sizing other windows beyond what I need them, allows for me to have extra space in case I need to open something else.Īlso, I’ve always found it easier to sort through a huge stack of jumbled windows in macOS than Windows. The text bubbles look more natural when the window is at its default size. Not to mention, some apps just look better when not stretched the entire length of a display. In Firefox, some themes can’t stretch the entire width of the display, and end up having hideous black blanking areas in the window drag bar. Websites usually aren’t optimized for that size, so they just load with obnoxiously large margins of blank space. Full screening a browser window on my iMac is useless and a waste of space, too (unless I’m watching a video). As a result, making a window use more space doesn’t provide me with more usable or readable space. I use the More Space scaling option, so everything is just so… small, yet legible. On a 4.5K 24-inch display, things are just different. I downloaded the Magnets app and drag and snapped until my heart was content. When I switched from my Windows laptop to my MacBook, the concept of maximizing carried over, since on a 13” 1600p display, maximizing a window is quite nice. Sure, the menubar and dock can pop in if you hover, but tbh it’s tedious to wait that 1-2 seconds for them to summon. Clicking the green expand button on a Mac window doesn’t “maximize” the window, it basically Alt+Enter’s the window, and the menubar and dock disappear. In macOS, however that “fullscreen” button is literally that. So the taskbar and window controls and all that biz are still accessible. On Windows “fullscreen” usually means maximizing the window.
