No, "restore" restores the most recent preferred size when returning from a "maximized" or "minimized" state.
Window size is determined by the window's preferred size values. These can either be calculated automatically by the window skin, or set explicitly by the caller. When the window size has been explicitly set, we allow the user to resize the window. However, when it is automatically determined, we don't. This applies to both width and height. For example, a window's preferred size could be set to 320 x -1. This means, "use a width of 320, but determine my height automatically". In this case, we would allow the user to change the window's width, but not its height. However, if a window's preferred size is set to 320 x 240, we would allow the user to resize both dimensions. If the preferred size is set to -1 x -1, we would not allow the user to resize the window at all (because the caller has indicated that the size should be determined automatically). Does that help?
