Gap at the bottom of maximized windows How can i get rid of the gap at the bottom of the screen when i maximized a window? The gap is almost imperceptible but at the bottom of a maximized window a few pixel are not filled, there one can see the desktop. If i go into full screen mode with a window, the 5 - 10 pixels get filled.

My os version is OS X 10.9 Mavericks



To better see the issue I enlarged the part at the bottom:
Those 5 pixels are tied to the Dock. You can position the dock on either the left of right side instead, but the gap stays on the side of the Dock. I think this is something fairly low level with the Dock, as window managers (like Spectacle) will maximize windows and not use the gap.

My $0.02: If you have a lot of screen real estate, as it looks like you do, I say shrink some of your windows to a more appropriate size and/or fullscreen windows instead of maximizing them.
