Star Digging Into Mac OS X's Single-Application Mode
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 10th Oct 2009 19:14 UTC
Mac OS X Way back, when we were recovering from our hangovers from the millennium parties, Apple introduced, for the first time, Mac OS X and the Aqua user interface. This was still a preview, so it wasn't quite as polished and finished, of course. It also contained a feature that never made it into the final releases: single-window mode. Or did it...?

There is a freeware app called RightZoom that enables the green button to be a true zoom. It only works in native Cocoa apps but it's a welcome feature! Download here: http://www.blazingtools.com/downloads.html#RightZoom

The zoom feature is actually rather nifty, and i wouldn't want it gone from OSX, but rather to have a maximize button too. An alternative would of course be if apple implemented maximizing on cmd clicking the zoom button, like you can with right zoom.
