It is a bit amusing that Rev reduces the vertical size of a maximized
app so that the toolbar can be visible. The toolbar is obscured almost
all of the time by the myriad of mis-managed windows when run under
Windows. This token effort to keep things looking good is useless.
Until the messy way that all of the Rev windows are managed, under
Windows at least, any other ameliorative efforts are worthless. If Rev
managed <alt><tab> behavior correctly (the way people switch between
applications under Windows) then the application could be correctly
maximized without a problem. At the moment, the fact that Rev
applications do not function as every other Windows application
functions can only be viewed as a bug by anyone who uses Windows software.
And of rant.
