PS minimize buttons disappearing.

Occasionally, the red, orange and green minimize buttons (see photo) disappear from the upper left of my tool bar. The only way I've managed to restore them is to reset all the default settings, which is time consuming. Is there an easier way to get these buttons back when they disappear? Screen mode doesn't seem to do it either.

How do I turn off the automatic full screen feature that makes the top bar (with the minimize buttons) disappear?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm in a browser window the window resizes automatically and the bar at the top (with the minimize, full and close buttons) disappears. When I drag the cursor up to the top the window resizes again and that top bar appears. Makes me crazy. How do I turn it off?

I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.

Yellow minimize button disappears...cant get it back

I'm not sure what provokes it, but for some reason the middle yellow minimize button at the top left disappears from safari windows. I noticed it also happens to the ichat buddy list. Can anyone tell me why this is/how I can fix it? Restarting it fixes it, but only temporarily and I don't want to have to restart it everytime. The red X button and green + buttons are still there and functional.

I do not see how it is going to help. I have the same prob. Any help is appreciated.
In the Displays pane of System Preferences, change
the monitor's bitdepth to thousands of colors, or
millions of colors if it is currently at thousands of
colors; if you have the display control enabled in
the menu bar, you can change it here as well.

Yellow "minimize" button disappears. randomly. all apps

I've had this problem for as long as I can remember.
Randomly, the yellow minimize button (between the red and green buttons) on the
top bar of my apps gets grayed out, and no longer works. There's no
pattern to it - it's pretty random, and often happens to
several apps. Have not found a way to get it back, aside from
exiting and restarting the effected app(s).
When the app starts, all 3 buttons are present and working. At some
point, yellow fades to gray, and it's gone.
Sounds like an Aqua bug, but a very long-standing bug.
Very annoying...
Thanks,
/jim

I have had this problem forever as well; all with Leopard. I've never installed WindowShade, but I do run Parallels 3.0 from time to time. I've never correlated this goofy and very annoying behavior with Parallels... The problem seems to creep in and out every day, usually affecting iCal, Mail and Firefox more than anything else (all at different times). I have correlated this with Spaces; the buttons typically come and go with more movement between spaces. Interestingly, if a yellow button disappears, I really don't HAVE to quit it to get the button back; just wait and sometime later after unknown operations it will be back. It always comes back if I quit the app and relaunch, but it will disappear again after a while.

Minimize button disappearing?

hello all..saw this question and it has not been answered, so i thought i would try again. why does the yellow minimixe button disappear or gray out on the browser window? this makes it impossible to minimize many safari browser windows i have open. i have to restart safari to get it back. any help would be appreciated....thanks.

I saw it too last year and newer versions seemed to have fixed it.
You can still use Command-M to minimize the window.

Hi n_man2000,
You need to move your mouse to the top of the screen and then click the
Close button in the title bar.
For more information about how to close an APP in Windows 8.1, please check:

Minimize/full screen/close buttons disappear

Firefox 5 on windows 7
Ran into a state where I right click to display menu bar and then to hide it. When I did, the minimize / full screen / close buttons in the right hand were not displayed - also seem to be missing the top of the Firefox window. If I right click to display menu bar, everything returns, right click to not display and buttons disappear. After reboot - everything is OK again.

I had the same problem, but on a new install (on a new Win 7 laptop). I was not using an old profile.
I tried installing a new theme, (Walnut 2), but this did not help. However, reverting back to the default again has fixed the buttons.
I don't know if this is related, but I also do not get a menu if I right click in the top bar. This had been suggested as an alternative way to minimise the window. That still doesn't work. (It works in Thunderbird.)

My Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons disappear at random, have to restart firefox to get them back. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Don't really think I can clarify any better, my Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons disappear at random leaving a little blank spot. Can't figure out why.

Disappearing menu bar and minimize button quits working

I'm working in Entourage or Firefox (with about 3 other small applications open and Classic is running) and the screen suddenly blacks out, as if a screen saver came on for about a quarter second, then the screen comes back. The Menu bar is gone. I can get the menu bar back by clicking on the background and then clicking back on the application, but the minimize button no longer works on the open applications' windows. If I open a new application, the minimize button works on that window. Sometimes I have trouble getting the menu bar back, depending on the application that was open when it "blinked". When this is happening, it occurs at about 20 to 30 minute intervals. Any ideas of what's happening? Has anyone experienced something similar?

You can check that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (Mac: command+Shift+F).

How to change default close maximize and minimize button in mac?

How can I change default close, maximize and minimize button in mac?

Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?

On my PC, in I-Tunes, my iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod?

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?

- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

The share button disappeared from my Facebook add-on just before I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I thought by upgrading and reinstalling the add-on it might come back, but it didn't. All other FB buttons are there, near as I can tell. Any ideas? I'm using XP3.

WD Java iView button disappears

Hello All,
We have a Webdynpro Standard iView for ESS/ MSS , we are facing the followig scenario as follows
the iView is getting display in the iView content area in the portal . We have a system tray being enabled , now when we minimise and them maximise the system tray , the button disappears from the screen (when the application is first loaded on the iView the button is displayed ). this prolem is not faced when we refresh the iView by clicking the system tray --> refresh , but only happens on the minimise and maximise action.
Tried to see, if this behaviour can be changed with changing the WD UI settings on the portal side(ctrl + secondary mouse click). but was unable to do so .
Could this be handle without touching the WD code ?
Ronniee

Lemme know the details
