Title Buttons

Available in: Actual Window Manager, Actual Title Buttons, Actual Transparent Window, Actual Window Minimizer, Actual Window Rollup.

The Title Buttons trigger allows the supplement of Windows®' standard set of system Minimize, Maximize/Restore and Close title buttons with an enhanced set of new and innovative ones. These new buttons provide access to the following Actual Tools programs' actions:

• AltMin - left-click this button to minimize a window by a user-configured method other than Windows®' default minimize to taskbar. Right-click this button to display a list of context menu options where you can select on-the-fly the best minimization method for a given situation, adjust minimization options, or cancel minimization capability altogether:

  

• Roll Up - left-click this button to roll a window up. Left-click it again to unroll the window.

• Stay Always-on-Top - left-click this button to place and keep a window always on top of others. Left-click it again to let a window be covered by others.

• Send to Bottom - left-click this button to place a window under (or behind) all the others.

• Make Transparent - left-click this button to make a window transparent of a defined level. Left-click it again to restore the previous transparency level. Right-click this button to display the trackbar control that allows you quickly and easily setting the desired transparency level on-the-fly - drag the slider to see the effect:

  

• Align - left-click this button to align a window in the manner specified in the Configuration Module. Left-click it again to move a window back to its previous position. Right-click this button to display a list of context menu options where you can select from the full range of alignment methods available:

  

• Resize - left-click this button to resize a window to the user-defined default specified in the Configuration Module. Left-click it again to restore window's previous size. Right-click this button to display a list of context menu options where you can either select from a full range of predefined sizes or specify custom window dimensions on-the-fly as circumstances require:

  

• Change Program Priority - left-click this button to change the execution priority level to the user-defined default specified in the Configuration Module. Right-click this button to display its context menu with the list of available priority values where you can view the current priority setting and change it as circumstances require:

  

• Ghost - left-click this button to "ghost" a window.

  Note
  When window is ghosted you can't click this button again to cancel the ghost mode because ghosted window will pass all the mouse clicks through. In such case you should temporarily unghost it to make its title bar operational again.

• Move to Monitor - left-click this button to move a window to the monitor that is assigned in your system as next to that one the desired window currently resides on. Right-click this button to display a context menu with the list of available monitors - the menu item corresponding to the monitor window is currently on is checked; clicking another item will quickly move a window to this item's corresponding monitor:

  

• Move to Virtual Desktop - click (either left or right) this button to display a menu with the list of currently available virtual desktops and the special "All desktops" item:

  

  Selecting any of these items will move a window to item's corresponding virtual desktop or make it visible on all desktops.

• Unused Buttons - this button is useful in the case you don't want to overburden your windows' titles with rarely used buttons but nevertheless want to have access to their functions. Right-click it to call the context menu which contains all the commands of currently unused buttons:

  

  You can also left-click this button. First time it will show the same menu as for the right-click but when you select something from this menu the selected function will be assigned to this button so, for example, you will be able to quickly change the transparency as if you would use the normal Make Transparent button. Selecting another function from the context menu will reassign this button to the selected function.

• Copy to Clipboard - left-click this button to copy the data (either text, graphics or object) currently selected in a window to the Windows® clipboard. Using this button (and its Paste from Clipboard relative) to operate with the clipboard is far more quicker than using the commands of the same name in window's Edit menu, especially when using such alternative input device as touch screen (for example, on Tablet PC).

• Paste from Clipboard - left-click this button to paste into a window the data (either text, graphics or object) that was previously stored to the Windows® clipboard (either with the Copy to Clipboard button or somehow else).

• Manage Window Settings - use this button to access the window settings commands in a single click (either left or right). For example, if you need to reset the settings of your window then you can quickly click this button and select the "Reapply settings" command in the appeared menu. Alternatively, you can easily create the specific settings for a particular window by clicking this button and then selecting the "Create new specific settings" command.
