Actual Multiple Monitors 2.0 (01.02.2010)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] The main Taskbar toolbars (like Quick Launch, Desktop, Address, etc.) are
available on secondary taskbars as well.
[!] The Multi-monitor Taskbar now emulates the notification area (system tray)
on secondary monitors with the ability to display the clock and manually
re-order icons by dragging them with the mouse.
[!] The console windows support is available on Windows 7.
[!] Checking for updates online by contacting Actual Tools website and
retrieving information about latest version available has been added.
The check process can be launched either automatically with the defined
period (daily, weekly, monthly) or manually by pressing the Check Now
button (see the "Check for Updates" group in the General Options tab).
[+] All executable files (including setups) are digitally signed.
[+] The manual re-ordering of icons in the primary notification area by dragging
them with the mouse has been added.
[+] The ability to minimize all windows on a particular monitor has been added
(see the "Minimize all" command in secondary taskbar's context menu).
[+] The Multi-monitor Taskbar extension now supports the "Small icons" option
in Windows 7.
[+] The ability to make taskbars transparent is added (see the "Transparency"
option in the "Taskbar" panel).
[+] The ability to stretch the Start button out to the multiline Taskbar
in old visual themes (such as Windows Classic, XP Blue/Green/Silver)
has been added (see the "Stretch the Start button out to the taskbar" option
in the Taskbar panel).
[+] Move to Monitor at Startup action is available in the Default settings.
[+] You can specify the "Primary" value for the "Target monitor" option
of the Move to Monitor at Startup action.
[+] The long-awaited Window Snapping feature has been added: when you drag or
resize a window with the mouse it can stick certain window border/corner to
- desktop/monitor border (from inside);
- other windows (from outside);
- grid with defined cell size.
When it is enabled, you can control it on-the-fly for a particular window
via window's system menu (see the Snap item in the menu itself and in its
Options submenu).
[+] The Aero Snap mode now supports the horizontal maximization: just drag
the left or right window border towards the corresponding monitor boundary
to make window fit monitor width.
[+] The set of advanced window actions to invoke via mouse clicks on
the regular Maximize title button has been extended - the following
combinations have been added:
- maximize window just horizontally (Shift+RClick by default);
- maximize window just vertically (Ctrl+RClick by default).
[+] The ability to drag window by holding the left mouse button anywhere within
window's interior while certain modifier keys are pressed (Win+Ctrl by
default) has been added.
[+] The ability to size window by holding the right mouse button anywhere
within window's interior while certain modifier keys are pressed (Win+Ctrl
by default) has been added.
[+] New "Crop to fit" wallpaper position mode has been added.
[+] The ability to customize the background color for the "Single picture"
wallpaper mode is added.
[+] New hotkey combinations to suspend/resume the Control Center
(Ctrl+Alt+Num-/Ctrl+Alt+Num+ by default, respectively) have been added.
Please note that they are disabled by default.
[+] New hotkey combinations to save/restore the desktop icons order
(Ctrl+Shift+S/Ctrl+Shift+R by default, respectively) have been added.
Please note that they are disabled by default.
[+] New hotkey combination to move a window to the previous monitor in a
multi-monitor environment (Win+Shift+/ by default) has been added.
[+] Now you can customize the modifier keys for reordering taskbar buttons.
[+] The partial ability to control display orientation via desktop profiles
has been added. It will work only for the display adapters that explicitly
report to Windows about their rotation capabilities; in other words,
the list of supported video modes for such adapter will contain appropriate
entries (for example, 768x1024 for the "portrait" orientation).
If your display adapter allows such way of display rotation, you will see
the additional "Display Orientation" group of controls on the "Multiple
Monitors -> Desktop Profiles -> Monitors Layout and Settings" tab.
[+] The option to prevent running the library from the %Temp% folder has been
added (see the "Run the library from the installation folder" option in the
"Control Center Options" group).
