Actual Window Manager is a desktop productivity suite of over 50 tools, letting users change their interaction with windows in many new exciting ways: minimize windows to tray or screen, apply transparency, roll up, pin on top, auto-align windows, resize, etc. Any of these operations (and many others) can be done in a click on the title buttons, which are added to the standard Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons after the installation. In addition to buttons, users can set up specific settings to be applied to predefined windows automatically (for example, 50% transparency for Winamp).
Installation and getting started is remarkably easy. Once installed, Actual Window Manager adds its own buttons to the title bar of each window. By default the program has profiles with the settings for the most popular Windows applications, but users can change these profiles to their preferences or make a profile of their own, which is a breeze to do. To make such changes, one needs to bring up the Configuration window and modify or set up a rule for a particular program, which can be done in a simple, point-and-click manner.
Actual Window Manager is particularly useful when you are simultaneously working with several applications. Switching from one window to another distracts attention, reducing the productivity of work. Moreover, the taskbar becomes packed with minimized windows. But it is not the case when you have Actual Window Manager on your computer. You can set it up to minimize windows to tray or on the desktop, roll them up, set up the appropriate level of semi-transparency. If you need to multitask in several applications at once, you can pin all necessary windows on top without the need to bring each one up several times.
And the last but not least: Actual Window Manager is the only window manager that provides the fully featured support for command prompt windows and native 64-bit applications running on any x64 edition of Windows.

| Release Notes: |
[!] Windows Monitoring Log tool is added into the Control Center. It allows
detecting newly appeared windows and check, which window rule has been
applied in each particular case. Now you can easily solve any configuration
ambiguities and detect properties of short-living windows (like tool tips,
popup menus etc.). Be careful using this feature: turned on it may slow down
your system!
[+] The new great long-awaited "Run keyboard macro" feature is added: now you
can define the keyboard macro and send it to a certain window at its
startup, thus automating some regular initial actions.
[+] The new "Change program affinity" feature is added: if using a
multi-processor system, now you can control, which physical processors
a particular application should run on.
[+] The ability to hide the mouse pointer, while it is floating over the

- "Unhide" submenu that shows the list of currently minimized/hidden
windows (Win+H by default)
[+] Now the hotkey status is displayed in the "Hotkeys" panel of the "Options"
window: when defining a new key combination, you can see, if the defined
combination is already in use with another application or assigned to
another action.
[+] The on-the-fly transparency setting is added: when right-clicking the
"Make Transparent" title button, the slider control appears instead of the
context menu with predefined values; while dragging this slider, the
transparency level is being changed immediately, thus allowing a quicker
and easier choice of desired appearance.
[+] When minimizing to screen, now you can make screen icons
semi-transparent.
[+] New title buttons are added: Copy to Clipboard, Paste from Clipboard.
[+] The new "Keep window caption persistent" option is added to the "Change
window caption" feature.
[+] The ability to temporarily disable the automatic rolling up via Roll Up
title button's context menu or Roll Up window menu's submenu is added.
[+] Now the balloon tip is shown over the Control Center's tray icon at first
start after the installation.
[*] The internal mechanism of hotkeys processing is significantly improved.
[*] The long-awaited improvement for permanent tray/screen icons is made: now
permanent icons behave like buttons in the Taskbar (i.e. active window is
minimized, inactive window is activated, minimized window is restored).
[*] The "Index" window rule panel is updated: now it displays all
currently enabled windows settings of a certain rule.
[*] The options structure is redesigned: new "Triggers" and "Actions" grouping
nodes are added.
[*] The "Hide Configuration Module while using Window Finder" option has been
moved from General to User Interface.
[*] "Custom Position" and "Custom Size" dialogs now display current window
position/size values in their captions.
[*] The "Alignment" window menu's submenu now displays the current window
position.
[*] Title buttons appearance in Windows Vista is improved.
[*] The placement restriction area visualization is improved for non-standard
taskbar placements.
[-] The "orphaned title buttons" bug in Windows Vista is fixed:
sometimes title buttons used to get detached from their owner window and
stuck on the desktop.
[-] Compatibility conflicts are solved with:
- Quattro Pro X3 menus
- GrabIt internal windows
- MS Office XP CTFMON.EXE service
- X-NetStat application
[-] The conflict with the Microsoft Time Zone window is solved.
[-] Windows Layout tool now correctly handles maximized windows.
[-] Windows Layout tool now correctly handles Photoshop CS2 document
windows while working in a multiple display environment.
[-] Now the "Configure..." item of Control Center tray icon's context menu
is displayed correctly in Windows Vista.
[-] Transparency effect conflicts are solved with:
- CDArtdisplay application
- Emerge Desktop application
- Windows Vista Start button
[-] The bug of the "minimize-to-screen" feature is fixed: sometimes screen
icons used to go out of visible area after minimization.
[-] Title buttons now work properly in PowerPoint 2007.
[-] Title buttons' behavior in Outlook 2007 is improved.
[-] The conflict with the IE 7 "Search on this page" window is solved.
[-] The bug of incorrect behavior of "Restrict placement" feature in
multi-monitor configurations is fixed.

resized manually instead of unrolling - now the Unroll function works always
as expected. |

| Update date: |
0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| Release Notes: |
[!] The long-awaited feature is added: now the "Window caption" criterion
correctly detects windows which quickly change their captions at startup
(like Notepad, Internet Explorer, MS Word, MS Excel etc.).
[*] The "Manage Window Rule" submenu is renamed to "Manage Window Settings".
[+] The "Modify default settings" command is being included now into the "Manage
Window Settings" submenu if the "All Windows" settings were applied.
[+] The translations to German, French, Spanish and Ukrainian are added.
[+] Now you can strictly but flexibly constrain window placement on the desktop
by defining the limits for window's top-left corner (so window can't be
upper/left than the defined values) and/or bottom-right corner (so window
can't be lower/right than the defined values).
[+] Now you can suspend the ghost mode with the special hotkey pressed
(Ctrl+Shift by default).
[+] Now you can minimize a window by clicking the standard Close caption button.
[+] The support for the default Windows XP Media Center Edition visual theme is
added (the proper title button skin was contributed by Riza Berbatovci).
[*] The skin naming system is changed: now when you select a theme for
Windows XP the program will use the proper skin automatically if it's present in the
"Skins" sub-folder.
[+] The special "grouping button" is added; it contains all the commands of
currently unused buttons.
[+] The blocking of the undesired self-activation for windows minimized to the
tray is added.
