Hi ashish7plus,


When you click on the green button on the top left of a window, it will zoom the window to maximize the space on the screen. If you don't want to zoom the window, but make it larger, hold down the Option key before clicking on the green button. You should see the icon go from two triangles to a plus sign. Here are some resources that can help.


    1. Manage app windows on Mac
    2. Change Desktop & Dock settings on Mac
    3. Work in multiple spaces on Mac


Take care.

Thank you Vero F1, , it worked, but i had to exit full screen mode from the MS edge settings, then i was able to see the super cute icons size it accordingly , i use edge , safari and chrome for various reasons,

my question is why it turns too large that those icons disappear in the full screen mode, is there any way those icons could be seen while you work on the full screen mode, i will check the articles you posted, thanks again

App : MS VS CODE, Edge, etc
