Why is there not a window control button for Hide?

Hello.
Why is hiding a window / app not a 1-click window control? Perhaps with Option+Click as Hide All Others.
Window controls exist to streamline common tasks; hiding is a very common task in OS X.
Can't even find a workaround or 3rd party solution. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thank you for your replies.
All technically correct information, but not quite what I was getting at.
I'm aware of the available methods, but would like to have a single button in the app's window. Single click, no modifier needed from the keyboard, no need to go to the dock, etc. Imagine if none of the dots were available in the upper-left and you could only access those functions via methods similar to those that toggle the Hide feature. Most people would probably want the dots back pronto.
That's how I feel about the absence of a Hide button.

Why is there not more support from VMware for Sprng 1.2 for Python

It would seem that VMware/Pivotal would support the framework that was created for Python. What happened?

If you want support from Apple you need to contact them by phone or visit a store.
If you are still under warranty, that would be the best thing to do anyway.
There are no Apple techs here on these forums. Apart from the hosts who manage the site, all the people posting here are volunteers; users, the same as you.
The quality of the advice varies, and considering it costs nothing, I'd argue it is good value, but one should be prudent and not believe everything that is said, though you could also apply the same to life in general.
This site is more extensive than many realize and finding the right place to post your problem can help enormously, as people tend to hang in the forums that they know most about.

Why does is not show the radio buttons

I want to display the buttons in a row then radio button in a row under the button and then log scroll pane under the radio buttons. This is my code:
        //Add the buttons and the log to this panel.
        add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
        add(radioPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        add(logScrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);When i run it it display the buttons and the logsrollpane. Why does it not display the radio buttons?

Thanks guys.
This is my problem. We have a big system that produce lots of log files and the software testers have to manually have to go through the logs file and look for a certain XML tags in the log file.
What I want to do is help the software testers my developing a small tool that will allow them to open a log file and then click on a radio button corresponding to a xml tags that they are looking for and automatically highlight the tags in the file in yellow color .
I am not sure how feasible this is and I am stuck.
This is what I have done so far.
Can you please guys help me go forward.

Window Control buttons are grey

Installed Yosemite, and now my window control buttons (cancel, minimize, maximize usually red, yellow, green) are greyed out. Is there a fix for this?

Hey there Darrel,
It sounds like the top left 3 buttons still function but are gray in color. The symptoms indicate to me that the Appearance setting in System Preferences is set to Graphite rather than Blue:
General preferences - Mac Help
Appearance
Choose the color you want for buttons, menus, and windows
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Make the window control buttons bigger

How can one make the window control buttons bigger in Mountain Lion? The x - o buttons. Making them smaller from Snow Leopard seems like a stupid and arbitrary ******** change. Like many changes in L/ML. It's especially bad for people with accessability issues. If there is a hack or something, please. Thank you.

Can't. However, post your feedback here:

When is iCloud going to fix there SPAM filters already?! Why is there not an Allow list in iCloud?!

When is iCloud going to fix there SPAM filters already?
! I have received 3 consecutive emails from the same domain although I marked the first one to arrive as SPAM. Truth be told none of them should get through. Why is there not an Allow list in iCloud?!

They say it can take up to 15 minutes for the SPAM filters to start working after you mark them as SPAM but I was receiving these at a greater than 15 minute interval.
Don't they do an MX record check on these emails to check if they are SPAM?
My guess is Apple has hired a 3rd party business to do SPAM scanning before the SPAM ever gets to Apple. They need to get on them.

Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window > extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?
I need to open an extension I have downloaded and added to the Adobe Extension Manager CC but the extension option on the window drop down is not present.

SUCCESS!! I figured out that you need the Application Frame option checked in order to achieve the layout I like. Silly me.

Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Verizon wi fi for hot spots does not work with Windows 8. For verification go to FAQs about Verizon Wi-Fi for FiOS Internet,

Since you can't even download the wi fi for hot spots software if you have Windows 8, I don't know how to use compatability mode to get around the problem,
