Standard Window Part Click

Available in: Actual Window Manager, Actual Window Guard.

Standard window parts include the following visual elements: title, border, Minimize/Maximize/Help/Close title buttons, menu icon. All of them have their default purpose: title can be used to drag window (left-click and drag) or to call window menu (right-click), border can be used to resize window (left-click and drag) etc. Note that some window may not have some parts, for example, standard dialog windows can't be resized and don't have Minimize/Maximize buttons.

The Standard Window Part Click trigger allows you to assign an additional functionality for some rarely used window parts getting your windows more interactive and convenient. This functionality depends on what part exactly is clicked and in what way (left-click, right-click, left-click plus key combination). Currently only three events are available to extend: border right-click, the Maximize button right-click and the Close button right-click.

The Border Right-Click event allows to execute the following actions:

  • Stretch - quickly stretches window towards the corresponding desktop edge or corner. Right-clicking the same border part again restores window size back.

The Maximize Button Right-Click event allows to execute the following actions:

  • Maximize to Desktop - if you use more than one monitor to display your desktop this will expand your window to all visible screen space. Right-click this button again restores window size back.

The Close Button Right-Click event allows to execute the following actions:
