Getting Started

Any Actual Tools program consists of two separate, integrated programs: the Control Center and the Configuration Module.

Control Center

The Control Center is a small, memory-resident application, which constantly monitors window activity from its icon in the system tray and features a context-sensitive set of menu commands. The Control Center uses the configuration defined within the Configuration Module to control the precise behavior of each window you specify. In other words, the Configuration Module provides access to all Actual Tools program's features while the Control Center brings these features to life. For easy access to the additional features available via the Control Center, make sure the Enable tray icon checkbox displays a checkmark.

You can start the Control Center in either of the following ways:

  • click "Start", select "All Programs", select "Actual Title Buttons", click "Actual Title Buttons" item
  • in the Configuration Module's main menu, click "Actions", then click "Load Actual Title Buttons" item

Configuration Module

  • click "Start", select "All Programs", select "Actual Title Buttons", click "Configuration" item
  • left double click the Control Center's tray icon or right click this icon and select "Configure..." in its context menu
