I was just recently attempting to maximize a window and found myself dragging the corners a lot.

So, I went on a hunt for an application to actually maximize your window.

Download: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30591/right-zoom

How-to: Once you download it just drop it into your applications folder and then go to “system preferences” then “accounts” and drag the “Rightzoom” icon into your “login items” and click hide.

Once you’ve done that you’re good to go and now all of your application automatically maximize to the full screen.

You can also add applications to the exclusion list if you’d like.

Have fun with having your applications maximize to a full screen, it’ll help a lot of you getting accustomed to mac.
