To the OP: Please put a *lot* of thought into whether you really
need to do this. Despite the fact that a couple of Apple
applications deviate from the semantics of the zoom button it's
extremely non-standard behavior. Even if you do it well and to good
effect (like iTunes, IMO) you'll irritate a lot of users. The fact
that Calculator alters the meaning of a button that most users
(wrongly) think is supposed to toggle between full screen and "where
I set it" to effectively change itself into a completely different
app (beyond the baseline notion of 'calculator') is just ... blech.
I never noticed Calculator did this until this thread came up. While
it's certainly sort of handy, it's *very* non-standard. On the other
hand it's not unprecedented, iTunes overloads the zoom button
similarly, and far more annoyingly since the normal meaning of zoom
could apply within iTunes and making it full screen or maximised has
to be done by dragging.
