Maximize and Minimize buttons

Is there a way to make these buttons bigger? It takes much effort to find these with the mouse pointer. Thanks for any replies.

You can't make them bigger with anything built in to the operating system. You could try a finder replacement like Path Finder. Another possible solution would be to look at some theme software that let you change the whole look of the windows. I believe there is one called Shape Shifter. You should be able to find both of those options at Version Tracker. I am sure there are some other options but that is all I can think of off hand.
I agree they are a pretty small target but for me it has become easier to hit them with time and practice.

  • How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog

    How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog. I have an application which has JDialog box, but in that i should not have maximize and minimize button.If any one come across this problem and got a solution please helpout me.

    Btw, isn't it a little strange to ask thisquestion...
    Actually, I thought it was meant to be sardonic...
    Dialogs don't have those buttons, so the question
    n should be to the OP how did he/she get them in the
    first place? Cuz they aren't using JDialog to do it,
    unless it's something to do with a specific look &
    feel.I somehow missed that, good point :-)

  • Federated Book showing strange maximize and minimize buttons

    Hi all,
    I've just federated a book (.book file) in WLP 10.3.2 and when it shows up in the consumer the buttons to maximize and minimize appear.
    The behave of the book is as if it were a portlet. As I can remember, it didn't happen in the 10.3.0 version.
    When I put a local book in the desktop instead, this thing doesn't occur.
    Could anyone explain what is happening?
    Thanks in advance,
    Leandro

    Hi
    I've gotten the same behavior. If any one could help, I would appreciate.
    thanks in advance

  • Close, maximize and minimize buttons not themed on Windows 8.

    When using a theme in Windows 8 the close etc buttons are not themed and look ugly and out of place. Any way to fix this embarassing issue?

    Hello,
    Unfortunately I believe you will actually need to change your whole Windows desktop theme in order to change those buttons. Perhaps this link can help you:
    * https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-desktop-window-decorations-changed/b1abd464-8a7f-43fa-ae56-849a974eddd1
    EDIT: The relevant part might be:
    * Right click the Desktop and select Personalize.
    * In the top Themes section scroll down and click Get more Themes online.

  • Every once in a while, a black box will cover the windows minimize, maximize, and close buttons, and then I can't minimize firefox quickly or easily.

    After a bunch of browsing, a black window takes over the windows caption bar and covers the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. When this happens, I can't close firefox except by accessing the firefox menu. And there is no way to minimize or maximize the window.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • My Minimize, Maximize, and Close Buttons are not functional in Firefox 13.0.1

    I recently downloaded Firefox 13.0.1.. For the past several days the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons located in the top right hand corner have been non functional almost immediately upon starting a browser session. I have tried disabling plugins with no success. I have experienced the same problem when running safe mode. I have attempted to disable hardware accelerators. I have even tried resetting to default settings.. For the record
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 2 GB of RAM as well as Norton Antivirus.. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi <b>rosmaninho</b>
    Can you please start a new thread for your question?
    Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.
    *[[/questions/new start a new thread]]
    *[[/kb/Using+the+Troubleshooting+Information+page]]
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Minimize, Maximize, and Exit Buttons are Missing

    I can not view the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons unless I enter full-screen viewing. I have all add-ons turned off.

    You may not see those buttons clearly if they get hidden by the transparency on Windows 7.
    Right click in a free space on your desktop.<br />
    Left click on Personalization.<br />
    There are four options in Windows 7 at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".<br />
    Select a border color<br />
    Uncheck: "Enable transparency"<br />

  • How to relocate the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons on the window

    I am a right-hand user, and would prefer if all my Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons on the window are relocated to the right hand side of the window. Anyone got any suggestion to do it ?

    This is just something you end up getting used to, at least it was the case for me.
    It is not possible to move this, without the help of third-party software.
    ShapeShifter is offers customisation of the look of the Windows, but I don't know if it can move the buttons.

    But I don't know if it is compatible with Leopard yet.

  • NO CLOSE, MAXIMIZE OR MINIMIZE BUTTONS ON MY FIREFOX BROWSER

    I DOWNLOADED THE NEWEST VERSION OF FIREFOX IT IS FINE "EXCEPT' THERE ARE
    NO BUTTON ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, WHICH SHOULD BE THE 'MINIMIZE" 'MAXIMIZE' AND 'CLOSE' BUTTONS. I HAVE RESET TO DEFAULT TWICE, I REDOWNLOADED IT AND NOT I JUST TELLS ME
    "CONGRATS" YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX...BUT STILL NO BUTTONS.
    PLEASE HELP

    Could you confirm that Firefox is not in full screen view? The F11 key switches between full screen and regular views.
    Have you customized your Windows XP theme? Maybe Firefox is not fully compatible with it. If you hover your mouse over the area where those buttons normally appear, does it behave as though there are invisible but working buttons there?
