I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I can't find the setting to enable double clicking of the titlebar to minimize. Does anyone know where this is? It looks like Apple took it out of the "General" preference pane.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion
System Preferences... > Dock | Double-click a window's title bar to minimize.

System preferences>Dock : check "doube click a window's title-bar to minimize it.
Thanks guys, i was looking for this too.
Wow thanks so much for this. I was bashing my head in having to click the yellow bubble. Wish they wouldn't move system preferences around. Now if I can just get my bluetooth to work so that I can have multi-touch gestures on my magic mouse then I will be far less ****** off about Mountain Lion!
Thanks, TheSmokeMonser!
This is a great example of how Apple seems to be systematically destroying Mac OS X's reputation as an easy use operating system. What does this have to do with the dock? They should have just left it in General. These type of changes seem to have started since the introduction of Lion. I have constantly been finding myself googling how to do things like this. Feedback has been sent.
Well I have Lion 10.7.5 and that option is no longer there!
Come on Apple, the bigger you grow, the more you are beginning to resemble Microsoft.
In fact ever since you moved to Intel, my computing life has become a ****.
I used to be so smug when Windows users - friends used to tell me about all their problems.
It seem sthat now we are all in the same boat!😢
Can't confirm.
Well I eventually found it (why did they move it?):
System prefs / General / check box "double-click a window's title bar to minimize" 😎
Great! Thanks for the help!
Yes, why did they move it?? Because they can I guess but makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Even a better question is why is this not the default? Why would you not want this feature that has been part of the Mac OS for ages? Same with having to hunt up the "Show connected hard drives, servers, etc. on your desktop" feature. And then there is the battery icon which now only displays percentage (not time). This is progress???
This is all in an effort to make OS X just like iOS:
Mine is checked on double click to minimize and still does not work
Can't confirm.
Thanks SmokeMonster! This has been driving me crazy. And the 'expert' I asked didn't know what I was talking about. Yay! So much easier!
Where is double click titlebar to minimize in Mountain Lion located?
