    Just out of curiosity, when I open an editor window, why is there no standard Windows button to minimize the editor window? If I right click on the editor window, I see a Windows context menu that allows me to minimize but there is no button on the top right of the editor window that allows me to minimize.

    For future consideration, it would be a small thing, but handy to have a minimize button beside the “x” on the editor window.

    It’s because the editor windows (and all the other non-project windows) use a smaller type of window frame, on which Windows does not show the minimize/maximize buttons.

    So you’re saying that this is a Window’s issue with smaller window frames and it’s out of your control?

    If so, it’s unfortunate because it just seems so natural on a Window’s platform to look to the top right of any window for a button to minimize the window.

    Yes. Even if I tell Windows to show the min/max buttons, it will not show them on the small window border frame.
