Introduction to Windows 7 window

In Windows 7, a consistent Windows window design is still in use. Window based design can improve multitasking efficiency, and users can clearly see what is open and what programs are running.

Windows window

The Windows window is the most important part of the Windows operating system user interface, and most of the interaction between the user and the computer is done in a window. The window provides an area for each computer program, where users can see the content of the program visually. Typically, running an instance of a program opens a Windows window, and most Windows use the Windows window's border style: There is a program icon at the top of the window and a window caption on the right side of the icon. Each window has a "minimize, maximize, close" three buttons. Figure 1 shows the Windows 7 Resource Manager, Internet Explorer, and Notepad three programs window.

Window state

The Windows window has the ability to maximize, minimize, and restore three display states. Most Windows Windows can be freely adjusted by the user. As shown in Figure 2, the window defaults to "Minimize", "maximize", "Close" three buttons, and if the current window is already maximized, the Maximize button appears as the Restore button. By adjusting the window state can make the contents of the desktop display more orderly, clear, convenient adjustment way to facilitate the user to the window operation. In Windows 7, Windows Maximize, minimize, and restore between the transitions are easy, and there are a variety of ways that users can choose the way they are accustomed to adjust.

Maximize window

Window maximization means that the entire window is fully full-screen, but does not overwrite the Windows taskbar. As shown in Figure 3, a standard maximized window maximizes the window to take advantage of the contents of the display window.

In Windows 7, users can click the Maximize button in the upper-right corner of the border to switch the state of the window to maximized, as shown in Figure 4.

The user can double-click the mouse directly in the margin of the window, as shown in Figure 5, so that the window can be maximized faster.

In addition to these two ways, users can click the program icon in the upper-left corner of the window or right-click in the margin of the border, and click the Maximize option in the pop-up menu, as shown in Figure 1.13.

In addition to these three ways, a very convenient way to toggle the window state is added to Windows 7. This mode is turned on by default, left-click the window edge that you want to maximize, and then drag the window to the top of the desktop. As shown in Figure 6, Windows appears with a window that maximizes the state, then the left mouse button is released and the window is automatically maximized.
