See how you can maximize, restore, resize, arrange and hide windows.GNOME Documentation Projectgnome-doc-list@gnome.orgMaximize and unmaximize (restore) a window
To maximize or unmaximize a window, you can:
To maximize a window, click on the title bar of an application, and drag it to the top of the screen. When the mouse pointer touches the very top of the screen, the entire screen becomes hilighted. Release the mouse button to maximize the screen.
To restore the window to its original size, click on the title bar of the application, and drag it down from the top bar. After the window separates from the top bar it will restore itself to an unmaximized state.
Pressing Altright-click anywhere in a window will allow you to move the window. Some people may find this easier than needing to click in the title bar of an application.
You can also use your keyboard to maximize a window. Press AltSpace to bring up the window menu, and then press x.
