Option to collapse windows by double-click to title bar only, NOT minimize into dock?

A double-click to a window's title bar did, in former incanations of the Mac system, result in a collapse of the window to title bar only. Currently, it seems that this option is gone? All I find results in "minimize to the dock".
Is there a hidden option?
Or is there third-party software that adds back this feature?

I was a bit "perplex" about the sensitivity that the term "iOSification" has caused, so I needed a little time to think about that.
From my point of view, the removal of the "collapse a window to the title bar only" function is a feature that fits very well to the wide screen format that we have today. It IS something that was and is (would be) useful on a 27'' screen, and I think it is reasonable to blame the "iOSification" (that is, the attempt to unify the user interface on very small and "real" screens) for the removal of this feature.
I am using Macs since the IIfx (with System 6). It might be that the term "iOSification" fits better to other "back the the Mac" changes to MacOS, but it describes a general attitude that I do start hating.

  • I like the quick collapse function on open windows by double clicking on upper bar. Can I do that in Yosemite?

    In previous Mac OS I was able to set it up where if I had an open window and I wanted it to collapse or shrink from view for a moment I would just double click on the top bar of the window and it would collapse to the bottom doc.  It was quick and easy instead of having to click on the yellow circle in the upper left.  Can I set up my windows to use the double click in Yosemite?

    It is Barney.  Thank you!  Old dogs like me get stuck in using the same tricks.  I just installed Yosemite and it was frustrating as **** not to be able to find my window collapse.  Thanks again!

  • Unable to minimise window by double-tapping on title bar.

    I have my system set to minimise windows by double-tapping/clicking them on the title bar. It works for most of windows (iTunes being exception). It's a system preference thingy, so it should work across all the board. After the recent update to 21.0, my Firefox is unable to minimise by double-tapping on the title bar anymore. Is there anyway to fix this issue, or will this be solved in the next update?

    I did a bug search on Bugzilla, it seems this bug is being worked on by development right now. Hope this helps.

  • I can't open a second playlist window in iTunes 11!? And no double-clicking the title bar to minimize to dock?!

    Please tell me I'm overlooking something. These are two functions I use all the time. Really quite bummed about my inability to open a second playlist window, as I manually manage my playlists and I'm frequently grabbing chunks of songs and transfering to other playlists, but with some of the playlists being 1,000 songs long, simply dropping a handful of songs over the playlist name in the left column results in all the songs being at the end of the very long playlist. Not what I want.
    Thanks for any light you can shed on this!

    Thanks for the reply.
    However, I don't understand your answer.
    To refresh my memory, I just now selected a jpg. image and opened it with PSE 10. When PSE 10 opened, there was my image, ready to be worked with. However, when I repeated the exact same thing with with PSE 11, PSE 11 opened a blank page and I had to go to the Open menu and reopen my image. I don't understand why this extra step is required with PSE 11.
    The screen shot you suggested means nothing to me in post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4876725#4876725 as I've no idea where it comes from or what I'm looking at.
    Can you provide further details?
    Thanks.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer minimize browser window by double-clicking title bar. Please advise!

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer my minimize browser window into the dock by double-clicking the title bar. I need to be able to use this feature. Please advise!

    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11 too (XP) and am seeing the same behavior. The little mini controller in the taskbar no longer works. If you double click the icon in the system tray, you can restore the iTunes window.
    On the Advanced preferences tab, select both the "Show iTunes icon in system tray"
    and the "Minimize iTunes window to system tray" checkboxes. If only the "Show iTunes icon in system tray" is selected, you will not be able to restore the iTunes window and will have to use the task manager to kill iTunes.
    Hope this gets fixed, I found the task bar controller very handy for pausing/starting/volume control/etc.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

    I certainly agree. You can comment to Apple on the matter via their feedback page, if you wish:

    Perhaps if enough of us request it, they'll put that feature back.

  • When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

    When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

    Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
    alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
    are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
    I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
    Panel.
    The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
    (and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
    right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
    Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
    I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
    (Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
    worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
    think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
    examle PHP files in DW.

    Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
    Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
    Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
    also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
    happens.

  • How can I make double clicking the space bar to make a period less sensitive

    Hi! When I double click the space bar, it makes a period, which I love. What drives me crazy is that it thinks I'm double clicking the space bar quite frequently, so it'll insert a period in the middle of the sentence. How can I make my space bar less sensitive? I know that I can turn off the period shortcut, but I would prefer to leave it on, just with a less sensitive keyboard setting. Help!

    It sounds like the space key is getting worn out. You may need to get the device exchanged under warranty if it's less than a year old.

  • Double Click on Tabe area does not open new tab any moee, why?

    I just updated (bad word because it is a serious DOWN grade) to 29.0. What a terrible mistake. If I wanted to use Chrome I would use Chrome. This version of FF is total shit.
    1) How do I get rid of that horrid big orange FF button?
    2) How do I re-enable double click on tab bar to open a new tab?
    3) How do I fix the navigation buttons (forward is ½ hidden under back)?
    4) How do I restore the colors (theme?) to my previous settings?
    5) Why is FF trying to be chrome anyway?

    To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

  • Double click program takes you only to one program in SE38

    Hi- If I have 4 includes in program MV45AFZZ. Include 1, 2,3 & 4. When I double first click include, program takes you directly into this include. Which is fine. Where as when I double click second include2 it still takes me into first include1 only. This happens after my first double click in SE38. I am using ECC6. Kindly suggest me if I am missing any user settings.
