What are the resize controls?

The resize controls appear in the top right corner of your window. The minimise (A) button and close (D) buttons are always displayed. The middle button will vary depending on the current state of the window. This button will be shown in one of two ways as illustrated below.

1. Minimise: Reduces the window in size. It will display as a bar in the taskbar.
2. Maximise: Enlarges the window to take up the full screen.
3. Restore Down: Reduces the window to the last custom size.
4. Close: Closes the window/program.

When the window is maximised the middle button will ‘Restore Down’. When the window is displayed at a custom size the middle button will ‘Maximise’.

1. Click the appropriate button to minimise, restore down, maximise or close the window.
