[muglo] Zooming OS X windows

Hello all, I was just bitching about the way OS X windows zoom and I
decided to find out if anyone here knows of a way to improve window
zooming performance?

My beef with OS X is that newly created windows (in Safari for e.g.)
do not have the scroll bar flush with the right-hand side of the
screen.

It's extremely annoying because the beauty of OS X windows is that you
can have the scroll bar at the right-side of the screen, send your
mouse flying to edge to click on the scroll bar and not have to worry
about _aiming_ -- your action would just use the natural edge the
screen provides to "stop" your mouse.

The ideal would be to have windows open up full-screen with the scroll
bar flush with the screen edge. A second-best solution would be to
have the green zoom button function to make the window as big as the
screen.

Presently, I have to resize EACH AND EVERY window to full screen every
time I open it. It's damned annoying when I click in another app and
bring it to the forefront by accident just because the current
application is not using the screen's edges to their fullest
potential.

I also see this as a fairly important design flaw that frustrates
Windows users. Windows may suck as a GUI, but their apps are less
prone to accidental application switches.

Anyway, any suggestions on how to force OS X to open up every window
in a predictable and usable manner, by default?

PS I just experimented with Safari. I moved the screen size selecter
doo-dad to the bottom right corner to maximize the window and prevent
dead space at the bottom and right sides of the screen. Quit Safari.
It remembered the position. Opened a new window. There was a minute 1
pixel space between the right side of the scroll-bar and the screen
edge -- enough to allow for errant clicks and waste the screen edge's
power to constrain clicks. Zoomed the window to a smaller size. Zoomed
it back to larger size... didn't retain the original size but went to
some bizarre size.

Predictability =3D 0%. Frustration =3D 100%.
