Maximize Window in Yosemite

In OS X Yosemite, the green button at the top left now takes an app full-screen. In Mavericks and before, it would perform a “maximize” function where it enlarged the window to fill more of the screen depending on the content of the window. You can still do that in Yosemite. Just double-click on an empty portion of the title bar . Double-click again to revert to the previous window dimensions.

    This only works for apps designed for full screen. For example, MS Office 2011 apps do not go full screen when the green button is pressed.

    Try to Shift + double-click on an empty portion of the title bar. This will slowly minimize the window to the Dock.
