Actual Window Manager 5.2 (14.10.2008)
—————————————————————————
[+] Multi-monitor support: The feature to display the Taskbar on secondary
displays is added. Secondary taskbars emulate the functionality of the
primary Taskbar with the following remarks:
- the secondary taskbars can work either independently or consistently
with the primary Taskbar: in former case each secondary taskbar displays
only the buttons of windows that reside on the same monitor; in latter
case all secondary taskbars display the contents of the primary Taskbar
(the mirror mode)
- you can change the order of buttons on secondary taskbars dragging the
desired button by the mouse with the Shift key pressed
- the minimizing/maximizing animation, if enabled, is played always
regarding to the primary Taskbar despite which display the
minimized/maximized window resides on
When running, Multi-monitor Taskbar provides the following abilities:
- the emulation of Start button on each secondary taskbar
- flashing of taskbar buttons for windows that are about to become active
- correct hiding of secondary taskbar when some window goes full-screen
- adjusting Multi-monitor Taskbar options via context menu
- displaying of thumbnail previews in Windows Vista Aero
[+] Multi-monitor support: The feature to display the Task Switcher (special
system window invoked via Alt+Tab) on secondary displays is added.
[+] The new Quick Settings feature is added: now you can open for a certain
window the special dialog which gives access to most popular Actual Tools
features at once. Using this dialog, you can quickly set up window’s
appearance (including its position, size, transparency, caption icon,
caption string, etc.).
You can invoke the Quick Settings dialog either clicking the
middle mouse button on desired window’s title bar, pressing the special
hotkey (Win+Q by default) or via extra “Quick settings…” item in window’s
system menu. To close this dialog, you can simply click anywhere
outside of it.
The important thing is that you can use this dialog even with windows that
have been excluded.
[*] Now the title buttons look fully native under Windows Vista Aero.
[*] Now you can cancel the changes of Target Window edit fields made with
the Window Finder by pressing the Escape key.
[*] Now the window settings commands (like “Modify applied settings”, “Create
new specific settings”, “Exclude this window”) open the specially
designed light-weight Configuration dialog containing the subject settings
only.
[*] The overall stability is improved when running on Windows x64.
[-] The bug caused the Explorer crash when trying to delete files under
Windows Vista/2008 x64 is fixed.
[-] Now the Virtual Desktops facility correctly handles the change of order
in the list of virtual desktops.
[-] Now the Virtual Desktops facility correctly handles the tool windows of
Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Flash CS3 when switching between desktops.
[-] Now the Virtual Desktops facility correctly reacts on pressing the
Win+D system hotkey.
[-] Now the Virtual Desktops facility is compatible with windows of Mozilla
applications (Firefox, Thunderbird).
[-] Now the Virtual Desktops facility correctly keeps the custom wallpaper
while running via the Remote Desktop connection.
[-] Now Total Commander refreshes its file lists as usual while being
pinned to desktop.
[-] Now Windows Layout tool is compatible with Vista Sidebar.
[-] No more crashes of NoteZilla when closing its Preferences dialog.
[-] Extra title buttons are again displayed correctly in the
title bar of IncrediMail XE.
