I work on a number of small sites spread over 2 Dnn installations. The older sites all allowed modules to be minimized via the module settings. It is a feature we found particularly useful. In a new site, using DNN Blue skin, this feature does not work even when selected in the modules settings. The module appears maximized in the front end.
Is there a place in the code, (css, asp etc.) where the setting needs to be enabled?
Or is this to do with DNN5 and using legacy skins? 
Any suggestions or links to other info? Help much appreciated.

My guess is that it is an issue with the legacy skin.

Thee is the option under "Settings" for each of the modules on a page.

Thanks Mitchel.
I have set the module settings to minimize, in the module "settings"  but the front end does not change.
The interesting thing is that in  the older site, which also uses DNN Blue skin,  the minimize  function still works. This site was a DNN4 site and was upgraded to DNN5. The newer site was created in DNN5. 
But because this is happening across various skins, in newer sites, I'm still wondering if there isn't something else I need to do, other than clicking the  minimize option in the module settings.

I've found this functionality exists in the containers themselves. On the module settings side of things you seem to have it right, you just choose minimize/maximize option so the module knows it should use the control (choosing None will tell it not to use it). The container is the one that decides where the control should appear. I'm on DNN 5 and I just tried with the standard minimal extropy skin and it works like i expect it too. Looking at the ascx for that skin you will see a VISIBILITY control. This is what controls the functionality you want. If you don't see it on your containers I would imagine that control is not being used.
