I guess the answer might be put the Macro pane into ResHacker and add a
window maximise tool.
Sorry. I read your message, and I intended replying. I don't have a good
reply which is probably why I didn't get on and send it.
I just don't recall why the difference. There can be nasty non-obvious
snags with some things, if making the macros pane expand was going to
take hours of work I'd probably not bother, even though that may be
desirable.
I vaguely recall that people wanted the macros window to expand, whether
I added that to RISC OS but not Windows I don't know.
Windowing systems have differences, for example Windows has the concept
of empty space in its windows which RISC OS does not. That means a RISC
OS window has to shrink when its contents shrink.
Have a go with ResHack - if adding an expand button does not work (and
that is what I think will happen) you can always redesign the window so
that it is larger.
Your question was why RISC OS windows don't expand - just because they
don't, RISC OS look and feel, do Draw windows expand when the zoom goes
up?
