I have a patcher that is missing the title bar buttons (red, yellow, and green circles on my Mac), and I cannot get them back. I also cannot close or resize the patcher without closing Max entirely. When I click 'Patcher Windows' -> 'New View', the title bar buttons return, but after I save the patcher and reopen it, they go away.

I've read the max help files and searched the forums and have not found a solution. I looked in the patcher's 'Inspector' window, but the only option was to open the patcher in Presentation Mode. I've read the max help files and searched the forums and have not found a solution. Maybe it's the way I worded 'title bar buttons'--maybe people call them something else.

Try unlocking your patcher and pasting this inside. It sounds like the original has a loadbang triggering all the nogrow, nozoom, and notitle attributes to a thispatcher object.

If this works for you, check out the help file for [thispatcher] and open the subpatcher called "windowMessages" for more information.

That worked! Thank you so much, and will do.
