A property sheet provides a way to change the following settings.
(you can also right click on the property sheet itself to get help)
| Preferences/General: | |
|---|---|
| Snap to windows at x pixels | Adjusts how close two windows must be before they snap |
| Snap to desktop at x pixels | Adjusts how close a window must be to the edge of the screen before it snaps.
also used for the center snap items described below |
| Toggle key | Selects key to temporarily disable window snapping |
| Preferences/Snap to: Chooses which windows to snap to: | |
|---|---|
| Desktop | Snap to the edges of the screen(s). |
| Other Windows | Snap to all other windows. |
| Old Position | Snap to a window's old position. makes more sense when 'Display Properties/Effects/show contents while dragging' is turned off |
| Vertical center | Snap to the vertical center of the screen(s). |
| Horizontal center | Snap to the horizontal center of the screen(s). |
| Sounds: Allows you to add sound effects to the snapping. | |
|---|---|
| Snap sound file | .wav file that is played when a window snaps. |
| Unsnap sound file | .wav file that is played when a window un-snaps. |
| Play Sounds | Turn on/off sound effects. sounds may become annoying so they are turned off by default |
| Advanced: | |
|---|---|
| Desktop icons 'Align to Grid' | Automatically line up desktop icons after moving them as in XP. (not needed in XP) |
| Snap MDI windows | Makes other applications' MDI windows snap. MDI windows are document windows that are contained within an application's main window. |
| Don't snap to inside edges | Diables windows from snapping to the inside edges of other windows. e.g. snapping the top of one window to the top of another window |
| Invert toggle key | Inverts the toggle key function. When selected, windows will not snap unless the toggle key is held down. |
| Hide icon | Hides the system tray icon. To show the icon again re-run allSnap.exe. |
| Crop top of windows by x pixels | Using allSnap with certain XP styles (e.g. Watercolor) will leave a thin space
at the top of the windows. This option fixes this by making allSnap think all
windows are x pixels shorter. This fix is not smart enough to detect which windows are using the problem style, so it is bound to make certain custom-skinned apps snap incorrectly. |
| Constrain windows to the screen | Prevents windows from moving off the sides of the screen. |
| Ignore window clipping regions | Some applications set a visible clipping region of a window. This option ignores this setting and snaps to the actual hidden widow size. |
