Default Maximize protools window

Hi i thought i knew pretty much everything in protools but can't figure this out. I'm at work and the top bar of the protools windows that have the maximize, minimize, and close buttons is covered up by the mac OS desktop bar. I can't click the top of protools and drag it down making it impossible to maximize the window. Is there something in protools to maximize and fit to screen the mix or edit window? Or is there something i can do on the desktop to fix this?

Maybe you changed your monitor screen resolution.
In System Preferences > Displays, switch to a different resolution and you should be able to see everything.

There's a small third party app called Cinch that will maximize any window in OSX to fit the whole screen. You just drag the window until reaches the top and -snap- it maximizes. Can't live without it now.

Under System Prefs - Displays, you can often hit 'Gather Windows' as well, and often this will fix it. Or if you have multiple monitors, just drag the menu bar to the other monitor temporarily, then move your PT window down a bit once you see the menu bar, and then drag the menu bar back to your primary monitor.

Changing resolution will also work.
