I’m using the app on Windows and I accidentally maximized the app. I can’t get it to go back to a window so I can move it around my screen again.
How can I get it to display the normal three Windows icons in the top right-hand corner (minimize, maximize window, close)?

Move your mouse pointer to the upper screen border, in the middle.
be about 5 pixels from the upper border
click and drag downwards for about 1/3 of the screen’s height

Thank you! That worked beautifully. I love the app but these sorts of hidden controls aren’t very intuitive to figure out.

You can’t blame that on Plexamp. It’s a Windows feature. Works with any app that’s not maximized. Just drag any app’s title bar to the middle of the screen, to the upper screen border.
Voilà, instant maximization.

That’s true, Plexamp is compatible with all Windows OS shortcuts.
What I mean is, when you remove the 3 icons in the top right-hand corner which virtually all Windows apps have, you’re assuming all users are familiar with the underlying mouse/keyboard shortcuts. Does that make sense?
