I'm glad to inform you that we
have released
the
new version
2.0
of our new product -
Actual Multiple Monitors
!
This version is a
truly major update
: it is faster, more stable and far more feature-rich than the previous version
1.0
and most known similar products. Here is a short list of most important changes (the full changelog can be viewed
here
):
The Multi-monitor Taskbar extension now is able to
display on secondary monitors a copy of
Windows
notification area (system tray), the clock and any of primary Taskbar's toolbars
(like
Quick Launch
,
Desktop
,
Windows Media Player
, etc.), which means that all these essential controls can be accessed easily no matter how many monitors you have and which one you are currently working with! In addition, there are such usability enhancements as
dragging the tray icons
with the mouse (both in the primary tray or any of secondary ones),
semi-transparent taskbars
and the ability to
stretch the Start button out to the multi-row taskbar
in old visual themes (like
Windows Classic
or
XP Blue/Green/Silver
).
In addition to
Aero Snap
, the
classic window snapping
has been added. This feature is also known as
"sticky borders"
: when you drag or size a window with the mouse, window's borders stick for some time to desktop boundaries and to other windows. This can greatly simplify the accurate positioning of windows!
Another helper tool which may speed up window manipulations is the
Easy Dragging/Sizing
: press the special combination of modifier keys (
Ctrl+Win
by default) to drag or size a window by any its interior point. In combination with the classic snapping this may become a killer feature which will save you a lot of time and will make the routine window management a child play!
Now you can automatically
move windows by default upon their opening to a desired monitor
:
primary, exactly specified
or
having the mouse pointer
. The last option seems to be especially useful so that it's selected by default; others may be helpful in some special circumstances.
The built-in
checking for updates online
has been added. From now, you can easily check if there are any new versions of
Actual Multiple Monitors
without visiting our website: you can either tell our program to request the information about updates automatically with the scheduled time interval (
daily/weekly/monthly
) or run the check process manually.
New hotkeys combinations are available now:
-
Ctrl+Alt+Num-
,
Ctrl+Alt+Num+
- to
suspend/resume
Actual Multiple Monitors
, respectively;
-
Ctrl+Shift+S
,
Ctrl+Shift+R
- to
save/restore the desktop icons order
, respectively;
-
Win+Shift+/
- to
move a window to the previous monitor
; it's a pair to the well-known
Move to next monitor
hotkey (
Win+/
by default).
In addition to the
Maximize to desktop
mouse action, two new mouse actions have been added -
Maximize horizontally
and
Maximize vertically
. The first action makes a window fit its host monitor's width and can be invoked by right-clicking the regular Maximize title button with the
Shift
modifier key pressed; the second one makes a window fit its host monitor's height and can be invoked in a same way but with the
Ctrl
modifier key pressed (modifier keys combinations can be customized).
All this combined with the already existing functions makes
Actual Multiple Monitors
an outstanding and unique toolkit for the multi-monitor users! Everybody's welcome to
try
Actual Multiple Monitors
for 30 days for free
and see all the advantages it brings to a day-to-day computer use.
Important note!
Although this version is a
major update
, we decided to make it
free for the registered customers
. If you are a registered customer then you can simply download and install it over your existing version without any additional efforts. In case you have any questions regarding this new version - please contact our
Customer Support Service
.
