Over the past few months I have been thinking how nice it would be to
have a couple extra windowing buttons. Here is my short list.
Maximize Verticle
Maximize Horizontal
2-3 Custom sizes and locations with the ability to rename

I work with multiple windows open. Comparing, sharing and
transferring data between windows on a regular basis. Drag and drop
is my best friend.

How would you feel about 3-4 more squares in the upper corner of your
window?


There's also the Macintosh behaviour that switches between the "standard state" (what the app thinks a sensible default size for the window to be) and the "user state" (what I resize it to be).

Back in the OS9 days most apps seemed to do _really_ sensible picks for the standard state - so hitting zoom would usually take me to the size that I wanted the app to be. Seems to be less true in more recent OS X apps.

I miss it when using Windows machines (then again - most Windows users seem to the lack of a full-screen-zoom annoying on the Mac :)
