What's new in the latest version
[!] Important
[+] New
[-] Fixed error
[*] Changes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Title Buttons 4.5 (20.06.2007)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] 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 ability to hide the mouse pointer, while it is floating over the
specific window, is added.
[+] The ability to copy settings from a selected window rule to others is added.
[+] The new hotkeys are added:
- "Reapply settings" action (Win+F5 by default)
- Configuration Module's launch (Win+C by default)
- "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.
[+] Now the balloon tip is shown over the Control Center's tray icon at first
start after the installation.
[+] Translation to the Dutch language is added (thanks to Onno Verschoor).
[*] 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 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.
[*] Title buttons appearance in Windows Vista is improved.
[-] 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
[-] 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.

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

[+] The ability is added to turn on the smooth rolling up/unrolling of windows
