Navigation Pane

The Navigation Pane contains three special items:

Besides, the Specific settings item has a list of subitems where each subitem represents a particular specific window rule. You can collapse or expand the Specific settings list by clicking the plus/minus sign on the left of its name. Every item in this list also has a check box on the left of its name. You can mark/unmark this check box to enable/disable a particular rule.

Navigation Pane

Upon selecting an item, the Details Pane will show this item's options so you can modify them as you like. You can select an item by:

  • left- or right-clicking its name
  • using the cursor keys
  • typing a few first letters of its name to jump to it quickly

Also, you can use the Navigation Pane to relocate a particular Specific settings item by dragging it with a mouse:

  • left-click the desired item and hold the left mouse button
  • without releasing the button, move the mouse to the desired new position
  • release the left mouse button

Multi-selection Edit Mode

This feature should be of great use in case you want to assign the same value to a certain property in several Specific Settings items: just select them, then open the desired property sheet and adjust the required property - and it will be automatically changed in all selected items.

To select several items, press and hold the <Ctrl> key, then click the left mouse button on a desired Specific settings item in the Navigation Pane; without releasing the <Ctrl> key click on another item, and so on. To cancel the multi-selection edit mode, click on any item in the Navigation Pane with the <Ctrl> key released.

You should consider the following notes when using the multi-selection edit mode:

  • you can deselect any item (thus, excluding it from a multi-selection) in a same way you select it - press and hold the <Ctrl> key and click the left mouse button on it (please note that the item that was selected when you started the multi-selection cannot be deselected in such way)
  • when all selected items have the same value in a certain property it appears as is but if at least one of selected items has a different value for this property - it will appear undefined: empty in edit boxes and combo boxes, undefined in check boxes (grayed), unselected in radio buttons (all buttons have no mark on them), zero in track bars
  • if you modify any property in the multi-selection edit mode - the same change will be made to all selected Specific Settings items
