xcode full screen code editor window

You can manually maximize it yourself, or you can try holding option and click the green "maximize" button.

The option-maximize thing is application-specific, though -- some applications will maximize the window to some pre-determined size, some will maximize to just big enough to see all content in the window, and some others will maximize the window to full-screen proportioins -- it just depends on the application.

Windows being maximized to take up the whole screen is typically Microsoft Windows-ish, and isn't how the Mac OS X GUI works.
