umm
because when a window is minimsed it goes into the taskbar so you can't actually see anything in the window.
Can you perhaps rephrase the question?

Can you perhaps rephrase the question? "
--> I just meant, that in the case that the browser-window isn't maximized nor minimized - then I've like my site to have specific margins - but as the lastest code shows the browser doesn't show the bottom-margin - (or the margin-right when making the window smaller!)
Do you get what I mean ?-)

Ok, here's some food for thought. If your height is 100% of the parent which is 100% percent of the screen -- how much is the margin, be it top or bottom? In my mind, it should be roughly around 0%. If you are a follower of a different branch of math, please let me know.

Surely that sound reasonable 
_ but since I havn't get it yet - and since you seems to be pro - tell me, why this doens't work? - Now the height isn't 100%, but x-px!?

Because 100% is 100%.
Since, by definition you can't have more than 100% of something there is nothing left for a margin.

Don't define the height of the page as "100%" would be a good starting point.
Have you tried using padding to see whether the result is better?
Why do you want your page to be 100% of the height of the window?
What happens if the content doesn't fit in the window?

The whole browser window will be used anyway. Providing there is enough content to fill it.
But I still don't think you are understanding that if you specify the page to be 100% then there is NOTHING LEFT for any margin. A margin is OUTSIDE the page after all.
