Resolve window still can't be minimized.

Guys, what's the deal with this? It's annoying.

I'm using the Mac version.

From the menu bar, Workspace/Layout/Full Screen... turn it off. Now when you manually resize the UI the green dot will toggle between full and zoomed view.

I think he's talking about not having the yellow dot…

Thanks, but Uli's right: I'm not talking about resizing. I'm talking about the Minimize button (yellow gumdrop) being disabled for no reason.

Command H is a simple workaround for now.

I've faced a similar issue. Try entering full screen mode (with the top left controls) then exit the full screen mode with the same button. This works for me as long as I don't move the window around. Hope it works for you too.

Thanks for that.

Let's see what the current state is...

Maybe a Windows only issue. I can minimise just fine, both with the yellow button or Cmd-H.

Works great here for me in Mac OS. One trick we often use is that we never minimize Resolve. Instead, we switch over to another desktop and do whatever we need to do -- file copying, backups, web browsing, email, whatever -- and then switch back to Resolve when needed. I do the same thing in Windows if I have to work on a Windows Resolve system.

Doesn't work on Linux, there is no fullscreen option, not a way to minimise the program! :oops:
