You can click on the Restore icon to move down your app window to the smaller size. Gone are the times when you actually had to close a game using Alt+F4 keys once you enter the full-screen mode. You can now easily enter the full-screen mode in any of your favorite game and can exit to the windowed view simply in a few clicks.
