Windows 7 tips; keyboard short-cut and gesture for maximize and minimize #2

  • Vertically maximize window
    • Drag bottom border of window to the bottom edge of display, whole the mouse pointer is up-and-down arrow
    • Drag top border of window to the top edge of display, whole the mouse pointer is up-and-down arrow; this is not work if you drag the title bar, instead of the top border
    • Double click at bottom border of window, whole the mouse pointer is up-and-down arrow
    • Double click at top border of window, whole the mouse pointer is up-and-down arrow
Providing multiple way to do one thing may useful.
But explaining "To do xxxx, please execute aaaa, or bbbb, or, cccc, or..." is nightmare.
In the other hand with Mac, "To resize a window, drag right bottom corner of the window, this is the only way" is the life of minimalist, bipolar design philosophy.
