Change zoom button defaults in Yosemite

Hi, all,

Does anyone know of a way to change the green zoom button's default behavior in Yosemite back to what it was in Mavericks and prior? I would prefer to use a "defaults write" like statement, if it exists, and not rely on the addition of third-party applications. My search has turned up nothing thus far, but I figured I'd ask you all if any of you had creative solutions. Thanks!

Regards,
Seth

This is the green button in the corner next to the yellow and red ones like a horizontal traffic light? I know you can push the option button when you click it and it behaves similarly to how it did in 10.9.

Not applicable

I'd also prefer a defaults write solution, but it looks like that's not possible in Yos.
