Re: NSWindow: Custom title bar double-click action?



Well, as I said, a HUD window does not have minimize button, so no one
would expect the window to minimize when double-clicking the title
bar. Overriding the zoom button would be nice, but there's no zoom
button either on a HUD window, so there's really nothing left to toy
with except for the title bar. Why would a redefinition like this be
any more "frustrating" than iTunes redefinition of the zoom button?
