Minimize Plain Box in OSX
Date: 02.03.10 20:09 (Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:09:16 -0500)
From: Tom Buchler
RB10r1:

For a Plain-Box window, with the Minimize button checked:

- In Windows, Window1.Minimize causes the window to minimize
- In OSX, Window1.Minimize does nothing.

For a Document window with the Minimize button checked, .minimize works
on both OSes.

1) Is this a bug?
2) Is there a workaround?
I'm building an app that needs the clean lines of the Plain box, without
a title bar, but which I can minimize.

-Tom

Right, It's not part of the OS X design.

Why not use Hide / Show as needed rather than Minimize? That would let you keep your design without the need to reinvent the wheel.
