I'm with Werner here. Maximixing a dialog is usually ugly from the
aesthetic point of view, but sometimes I'm annoyed by dialogs that are
just a bit too narrow for entering a text, or something else
(incidentally, e.g. the Java control panel seems to be filled with
non-resizable windows designed just to annoy people :-). I'd just like
to stretch them a bit.
Could you identify the boundary between just making a window larger and
maximizing it? I can't. What about Windows 7 "snap" feature, is it
resizing or maximizing? In other words, my understanding is that if a
window is resizable, it should be maximizable as well. However, as I
wrote in my previous emails, sometimes it's out of Java control: we can
say if a window should be resizable or not, and the platform decides if
it is minimizable/maximizable or not.
Thanks,

But I don't know how this stands with the various operating system
design guidelines.
