Actual Tools / Products / Actual Window Manager / Online User Manual / User Interface Taskbar Panel
Available in:
Actual Window Manager,
Actual Multiple Monitors.
The Taskbar panel allows activating the
Multi-monitor Taskbar and adjust its options.
Enable Multi-monitor Taskbar check box - mark it to
emulate Windows® Taskbar on each secondary monitor.
Mirror the primary Taskbar check box - by default each secondary Taskbar
emulation displays only windows residing on its host monitor. Mark this check box to force secondary emulations mirror the
contents of the primary Taskbar (in other words, all Taskbars will display all open windows, disregarding their host monitor).
Enable pinning to the taskbar check box - mark it to enable the
Windows 7 Pin feature
for secondary Taskbars.
Replace the primary taskbar check box - mark it to replace the system taskbar
on a primary monitor with its Actual Tools implementation to benefit from advanced features
provided by Actual Window Manager (like Pin in Windows XP/Vista or switching the group of windows between monitors).
Show the Start menu for hidden Start button check box - mark it
to make the Start menu, activated via <Win> key or <Ctrl+Esc> key combination,
appear on a monitor with the mouse pointer, even if the Start button is hidden on that monitor's taskbar.
Leaving this check box clear will display the Start menu only on a monitor with the visible Start button
(if there are several such monitors, the Start menu will appear on the nearest to the mouse pointer).
"Minimize all" command affects only the monitor with mouse check box - mark it
to minimize all windows only on the monitor when the Minimize all command is invoked (either via taskbar's context menu or via
<Win+M> keyboard shortcut). Clear it to minimize all windows on all monitors by invoking the Minimize all command
(default behavior).
Unhide taskbars button - click it to make all hidden taskbars visible again at once.
Enable taskbar buttons reordering check box - mark it to be able to drag buttons
on taskbars (both primary and secondary) with the mouse. Mark the related Only when the following keys are being pressed check box
to define a combination of modifier keys needed to be pressed for drag's activation (this may prevent the unwanted buttons' reorderings).
Enable tray icons reordering check box - mark it to be able to drag icons
in notification areas (both primary and secondary) with the mouse. Mark the related
Only when the following keys are being pressed check box to define a combination of modifier keys needed to be pressed
for drag's activation (this may prevent the unwanted buttons' reorderings).
Multi-monitor Task Switcher check box - mark it to
duplicate Windows® Task Switcher
on each secondary monitor (Task Switcher is the special system window displayed every time you press Alt+Tab to
switch between running applications).
Stretch the Start button out to the taskbar check box - mark it to make the Start
button fill the empty area of the multi-row Taskbar in such visual themes as Windows Classic or Windows XP Blue/Green/Silver.
Transparency check box - mark it to make all taskbars
transparent of the defined level.
In the related group of controls you can specify the desired level of transparency - it varies from 0% (opaque) to
100% (fully transparent, or invisible).
Enable the multi-previews for group buttons check box - mark it to show
the multiple preview thumbnails (one per window) when you place the mouse pointer over a group button in the taskbar
(group buttons may appear when you enabled the "Group similar taskbar buttons" option in the
"Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" system dialog).
Enable smooth transitions of the preview check box - mark it to force
the preview window slide smoothly when you drag the mouse pointer from one taskbar button to another. Mark the related
Enable preview's fade check box to force the preview window appear/disappear gradually, not instantly.
Note
These animation effects are resource-intensive so we recommend to turn them off when the graphics resources are limited (for example,
during the Remote Desktop session).
Preview show delay spin edit - specify here the amount of milliseconds which
Actual Window Manager should wait for before displaying the preview window.
Always show captions in previews check box - mark it to enforce the displaying
of window captions in their corresponding preview thumbnails, despite the system settings.
