Window Buttons - Close Minimize and Zoom
- guides
Close Button
Some applications will quit when you close the window, some won't. An ideal example to demonstrate this behavior would be a comparison of System Preferences and TextEdit. System Preferences quits when you when you click the close button. TextEdit however will continue to run when the close button is clicked. You can verify this behavior using several different methods in Mac OS X for example, by looking under the application's icon in the Dock or by using Activity Monitor.
Minimize Button
You can minimize a window by clicking on the yellow button. When you do this the window will find it's way to the right side of the Dock and will show up as a very small window. The behavior is controlled by a Dock preference setting under System Preferences choices are 'Genie Effect' (default setting) and 'Scale Effect'. The example below shows the minimize of a Finder window to the Dock using the Genie Effect. Note how it looks in the Dock when fully minimized.
Minimize Button
You can minimize a window by clicking on the yellow button. When you do this the window will find it's way to the right side of the Dock and will show up as a very small window. The behavior is controlled by a Dock preference setting under System Preferences choices are 'Genie Effect' (default setting) and 'Scale Effect'. The example below shows the minimize of a Finder window to the Dock using the Genie Effect. Note how it looks in the Dock when fully minimized.
Once a window is minimized to the Dock just click on it to bring back in full view.
Zoom Button
The name 'Zoom' is a bit misleading for the green button because the button not only zooms (or maximizes) but shrinks a window. A click of the zoom button will make a window large enough so that you will be presented a view to show the relevant information for that window. A subsequent click will return the window it's prior size.
The example that follows is of a Finder window. Observe the first and second views closely. Note that second is shown after clicking on the zoom button. You can now see the additional column and sidebar listings.
Try to click on the zoom button in various applications to observe the behavior.

Switches
A switch is a visual toggle between two mutually exclusive states — on and off. A switch shows that it's on when the accent color is visible and off when the switch appears colorless.
Off
Use a switch in a view, not a window frame. Switches aren't intended for use in window frame elements like toolbars and status bars.
Avoid using a switch to control a single detail or a minor setting. A switch has more visual weight than a checkbox, so it looks better when it controls more functionality than a checkbox typically does. For example, you might use a switch to let people turn on or off a group of settings.
In general, don't replace a checkbox with a switch. If you're already using a checkbox in your UI, it's probably best to keep using it. For guidance, see Checkboxes.
For developer guidance, see NSSwitch.
