When UAE is running in window mode, pressing the zoom gadget should increase the window dimension, however actually if you press the (zoom) gadget the UAE window will be minimized instead, see grab below.

For the next beta would be nice to have it working properly, so zoom gadget will increase the window dimension correctly, aka in a maximum are of the screen while the aspect ratio of the emulated screen is preserved.

(Note: NOT in a real full screen of course, but in a maximum area of the user screen)

    Since this is the original behavior of UAE it is not in scope for the project. However, together with the composite rendering for AmigaOS4 [#54] it is possible to scale the window to fit to the screen.

    Thanks Almos indeed i know that adding things like that wasn't your original scope, however current behaviour seems almost "broken" by design, because as you can see the zoom gadget will give you a soft of minimize that in reality look like a sort of "iconification" .. it should zoom it instead

    And to be honest in a real world the original author would have to add also an iconify gadget into the main window so 3 gadgets in total instead of the just 2 (and one broken) of the current UAE window design :-)

      I understand that this would be a useful feature to the users, but the original problem is that the AmiWin output cannot be scaled. Which renders the zoom button utterly useless.
      This can be changed with the composition rendering, but still I feel like the whole AmiWin UI needs a complete overhaul. For example it would be better to move out the OSD LEDs to the border of the window, just like how it is done for WinUAE.
