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...?

the one thing i really wished os x had is a tiling wm. i miss awesome and wmii. I use spaces in a somewhat similar fashion, but its still annoying to have to use the mouse to resize windows.

Or at least use that fourth button to MAXIMIZE windows (and i really mean maximize as in cover all space) at least. Apple, can we have a fourth "maximize" button please?

In the linked series of videos in which Jobs introduces Aqua at MacWorld, he actually CALLS it a maximise button. Fun, huh?

A fourth button would be kinda overkill I think, but Apple needs to fix the green button asap. I don't care if it maximizes or if it resizes to fit content or whatever else a button could do, just pick one function and use it consistently.
