Resizing MATRIX's window to maximum

Not at all sure how much effort it might be, but if reasonably easy, can the size of the present non-resizable MATRIX window be made resizable so I can maximize the window on my computer? Thanks!

Whilst I am not involved in the programming of the Matrix, I guess I should ask on behalf on the coder - why?

A programmer will generally not make any changes unless there is a benefit to doing so.

Firebird:
Why: Because some of the screens (e.g., latest news) require scrolling up & down in the present format, and presumably there'd be more to read at once if the window were maximized. Again, I'm asking for the change if it's reasonably easy.

Thanks.
Generally speaking it is always best to provide a brief case for the change.
As somebody that worked in software support for over 30 years I have lost count on the number of times that something else was broken when a change was being made, which obviously makes it a larger job overall.

This is why IT firms require Change Control, an official request, a benefits analysis and most importantly a budget code before they will even think about.

We are somewhat more flexible.

Feature request added to the tracker (#16).

It's not that difficult to implement, but all pages need to be tested again for broken layouts so that's why it's getting a low priority at the moment.
