Gmail: Default to Full Screen Compose for New Emails

With recent changes to the GMail interface, the default compose window is now a tiny little pop-up window.  (I'm composing an email, not firing off a short text or Tweet, so a little more screen space will be needed).

In order to change to the window size you simply click the 'double-arrow' expand button on the top right corner of the small compose windows.  This is tedious so you don't want to do this every time.  And to shrink it back again you click the 'double-arrow' collapse button.

But to make the expanded full-screen view your default compose view you need to:

• Click the down-arrow button in the bottom right-hand corner or either Gmail Compose window.
• Click the 'Default to full-screen' item to toggle the setting and place a check-mark next to it.

Next time you click compose, the full screen view will be your default.
