Watch the short 3 minute video below for a tutorial of how these functions work. You many not necessarily use all these techniques every day, but keep them in mind and they will come in handy from time-to-time. It would be nice if VScode allowed disabling the title bar completely in the full-screen mode. A regular title bar can display either a single-line title or. There is a new feature in macOS Monterey that makes the menubar permanent in the full-screen mode, however, the title bar still appears and covers the top area of VScode (the title bar appears as soon as cursor reaches the bottom of the menubar). The restore button makes the program windows less than maximum. Titles are elevated on such screens by default to facilitate one-hand actions. The maximize button will fill the entire screen with the program window. The middle button on the right side of a title bar changes between the maximize button (one square) and the restore button (two overlapping squares). This keeps the program running and to restore it back to the original position, simple click on it one time from the task bar. Remember to use the minimize button to ‘shrink’ the window to an icon/button on your taskbar so you can access your desktop or a window/program behind the current window. Also, double-clicking your title bar will automatically maximize the window. This technique is helpful if you need to position two windows for dragging and dropping files. Just click and drag the title bar and the whole window follows. This only works if the window is in the less than maximum position. Use the blank part of the title bar to move and position the window. Double-clicking on the little icon closes the window/program. This comes in handy when a window is shoved to one side and the right hand buttons are not visible. And even though one half to two-thirds of the bar is blank, it also has its functions.Ĭlicking on the little icon in the far left (once) will produce a menu that allows you to minimize, move, resize, maximize or close the window.

The name of the current file (or web page in a browser), and the name of the program also reside on the left side of the title bar. On the left side of the title bar is a small icon in the far left corner that matches that of the program. The title bar contains three familiar buttons on the right the minimize button (little bar), the maximize or resize button (middle button) and the often used “X” button to close a program.

The title bar is the long (usually blue in Windows XP or transparent in Vista, 7, or 8) bar at the top of each program.
