It seems to me the OP didn't say the application resizes the window, just that it restores the window previous state/dimensions (user preferences). I bet any other serious desktop application has an UX that does this. Though the Web is not and does not behave like a desktop. When an application needs more views at the same time there is no other way to implement that except opening other views. -- Diego > -- > Poetro > > -- > To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > > To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
