Minimizing Property Sheet

Available in: Actual Window Manager, Actual Window Minimizer.

The Minimizing property sheet allows to control various target window minimization options.

At startup checkbox - mark it to minimize the target window automatically at its startup.

After deactivation checkbox - mark it to minimize the target window automatically when it becomes inactive. In the related group of controls you can mark the Delay before minimization checkbox to specify in the related edit field the proper amount of milliseconds (positive integer value) to wait before the target window will be minimized.

Via title button checkbox - mark it to add the AltMin title button to target window's title bar.

Via window menu item checkbox - mark it to add the AltMin sub-menu to target window's system window menu.

Via Close button click checkbox - mark it to minimize the target window instead of closing it when you left-click its standard Close title button.

Minimization Mode group - contains radio buttons allowing you to select how the target window should be minimized in any conventional way (i.e. by clicking its Minimize title button, or by selecting the Minimize command in its window menu, or when the target window is minimized automatically by its application):

• taskbar radio button - minimize the target window as usual
• tray radio button - minimize the target window to the system tray
• screen radio button - minimize the target window on the screen

Tray Icon Mode group - contains radio buttons allowing to define tray icon's behavior:

• toggle radio button - icon will appear in the tray when you minimize the target window and will be removed from there when you left click it to restore the target window to its normal size
• permanent radio button - icon will be visible all the time window is present (does not matter it is opened or minimized), so you can use this icon as a switch by left clicking it to minimize/restore the target window
• no icon radio button - no icon will be added to the tray when you minimize the target window, so you can use this option either to completely hide the target window or for applications that already have their own icon in the tray (e.g. MS Outlook 2003)

Screen Icon Options group - contains checkboxes allowing to define screen icon's behavior:

• permanent checkbox - check it, and the icon will be visible all the time the target window is present (does not matter it is opened or minimized), so you can use this icon as a switch by left double-clicking it to minimize/restore the target window
• large checkbox - check it to make the screen icon larger (large icons look better and they are much easier to find on the screen)
• keep on top checkbox - check it to keep the screen icon always on top of other windows

Block self-restoration checkbox - mark it to block any attempts of minimized target window to auto-restore itself and keep the target window minimized until you restore it manually.
