MinMaxExtender : A software application that enables users to better control the size of their files window by adding several buttons and options
MinMaxExtender is an easy-to-use application that enhances the operating system. It enables users to enrich their title bar by adding a number of custom buttons.
Control your windows like never before with MinMaxExtender
The application is simple to install, users having to unzip the compressed folder. The program leaves a small footprint and it is rather hard to notice its functionality. Nonetheless, users are going to discover that any opened window has received a set of buttons.MinMaxExtender enables users to add several buttons: maximize and minimize vertically or horizontally, shade and stay on top. These additions are displayed in the upper right corner of an opened window. However, users might be displeased that the application does not replace the existing buttons, but actually overlays the new set. This means that users are going to accidentally push either the custom or the basic buttons.
MinMaxExtender allows you to extend the windows you want
The program is able to operate various applications separately, meaning users can set their preferences in the options section. They can exclude message boxes and dialogs, toolboxes, transparent windows as well as any programs of their choice.The application can run automatically at startup and allows users to draw either on the foreground windows or on all of them.
Prioritize the windows you need and keep them on top of everything
MinMaxExtender enables users to set a hierarchy between windows, meaning important stay on top, while less important items can remain in the background. Unfortunately, for each window the application creates a set of buttons, which can be accessed from the system tray, but users might get confused from the multitude of sets created.As a conclusion, the application is interesting, offering users a bit more control on their opened windows. However, the several glitches and drawbacks do not make it that appealing.
