Hi,

In 10.3 I was able to double-click anywhere on the title bar of a window and have it shrink into the dock. With 10.4, I have to actually click the yellow button. I know it seems petty, but I've gotten so used to it that I'm actually going to ask and see if anybody knows how to activate that feature in 10.4.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I loaded some shareware that enabled that, or if it was a feature of 10.3... Any ideas are welcome - thanks!

-Chris

still works as it did in 10.3.9 for me...

is it only in certain apps, or system wide for you?

Good grief - I wonder what I did?

I've tried it in Mail, Safari, Finder, iTunes... Seems to be system-wide.

Huh. That's strange.

you'd think with only one mouse button it'd be pretty easy too. As my friend says, "the make it so even animals with just a flipper can use it"

I always hated that and turned it off in the Appearance System Preferences. Maybe you did so inadvertently?
