Maximize/Minimize window in NX85

Maximize/Minimize window in NX85

Maximize/Minimize window in NX85

(OP)
Long time I am curious about the use of those two buttons Maximize / Minimize at the right upper corner of the NX Screen window... Minimizing the current windows and I now see the NX Background picture !? Any interest in that ?

RE: Maximize/Minimize window in NX85

Yes, that can be confusing but this was implemented using standard Microsoft tools where any and all 'windows' automatically includes BOTH a 'Minimize' and a 'Maximize' icon. In reality, toggling ON/OFF the 'Maximize' icon will probably provide the only behavior that has any real value, that is allowing the NX graphics window to be reduced in size relative to the overall NX window for when that might be desirable. For example, you might want to do a video capture of just the graphics window in something less than full size, perhaps so that the video file is smaller and more manageable, yet you would like to keep the overall NX window maximized so that you continue to have access to all of the toolbar/ribbon icons. Also, this allows the NX graphics window to be moved to a second monitor if so desired.
