>>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.
While implementing Klicko's window maximizing behavior, at first I noticed that iTunes didn't respond at all to the Accessibility command to set window size. However, since version 8 (I think), it does; also, option-clicking on the Zoom button now resizes the iTunes window to an "optimum" size. There's still no menu equivalent though...
