Allow narrower windows (Why are the Q Mac register windows so huge?) (+7 Merged Votes)

@Barbara O'Keeffe I was going to refer you to the existing Idea post for this same issue, but I see you have already commented in that thread back in 2020. [EDIT: A moderator has merged your post into that existing Idea thread.]

I'd note that that idea post has garnered only 16 votes (9 in the counter plus 7 "merged" votes from other threads merged into that one) over the past 3 years. I'm not saying the idea of being able to shrink the Quicken main window smaller doesn't have merit, but it seems it's not an issue which a large number of Quicken Mac users are interested in. I suppose that's not surprising, as I'd imagine the majority of Quicken Mac users do their work on a larger screen (iMac, or Mini + monitor), but that doesn't help those like you who are using a small laptop. 

That all said, there is one trick you can use to significantly accomplish what you want. When you're working on your recital cards, for instance, open the credit card register in a new window (double-click the account in the left sidebar). Then close the Quicken main window. The account-only window can be resized much, much smaller than the main window — about 20% narrower and nearly 50% shorter — so it makes it easier to view something else at the same time. Whenever you want to go back to the main Quicken window, pull down the Window menu and look for your file name (it's just above "Account Status" on the menu), or simply press Command+1. This may not go as far as you'd wish, but it definitely gets you part-way there.
