Introduction

It is very convenient for work if you can configure each window individually. Actual Window Manager allows you to configure any window individually by setting up specific settings for it. Moreover, you can create specific settings for each window of an application, separately from each other.

If you don't know anything about specific settings, read the following article - How to create specific settings for a particular window.

2.2. Closing

Close the window at startup/after deactivation, Ignore close button, etc.: you can active these features in this tab.
