Before upgrading to Lion I was able to double-click the header bar of windows to minimise the windows. Since upgrading I only seem to be able to minimise by clicking the yellow - button.

Is this a setting that I'm missing?

What apps have you tried this with? It works fine for me in all my apps... – Nathan Greenstein♦ Jul 21 '11 at 16:32
Safari is the one I'm noticing the most, just tested Twitter for Mac and it's the same. – dannymcc Jul 21 '11 at 16:34

Go to System Preferences > General. Check "Double-click a window's title bar to minimize".

Great, worked perfectly. Thanks! – dannymcc Jul 21 '11 at 16:46
Interesting that this got unchecked when you upgraded. I'm always surprised by which settings get lost :/ – Nathan Greenstein♦ Jul 22 '11 at 12:49
