I've been using UltraVNC for a week now. It's a great client, noticably better performance than TightVNC, which I was having trouble with.
The only thing I wish UltraVNC had is a regular Maximized windows feature. I don't like the Fullscreen replacing maximize because it interferes with Alt-Tab task switching (which is something several others have complained about over the years here from search results).
So could you add a regular Maximied option? Perhaps it could be a config setting to choose whether you want Fullscreen or Maximize when the window's maximize command is issued.
Thanks

regular Maximized windows
Re: regular Maximized windows
Seconded. I can't see a reason NOT to provide such a basic option.

Re: regular Maximized windows
Fourthed!!! I just switched from RealVNC, which supported Alt-Tab for task switching. I cannot believe that something this rudimentary is missing.
Re: regular Maximized windows
If you're referring to being able to send commands like Alt+Tab to the remote session (instead of being processed locally), that is a supported feature. Turn on Scroll Lock and everything will be processed by the remote machine rather than the local one.I cannot believe that something this rudimentary is missing.
If you're referring to the maximize button, I don't have anything to add.
