AWM 8.1 beta 3
Windows 8.1 64 bit
I had been hoping for this feature for a while now, I have been using another tool to achieve this effect, now being incorporated into AWM means I can discard the other tool.
However I have one request and maybe a bug to report.
The request first. Would it be possible to have 'Activate window on mouse hover' activate 'genuine' windows only and not the desktop. i.e if I move my mouse pointer slightly out of my active window and on to the desktop, maybe when I am typing, I do not want activation to switch to the desktop but remain in the current window.
Now for the possible bug.I have noticed that if I enable 'Activate window on mouse hover' this feature remains active even if I do not have AWM running.

Hello Vasiliy.
I can reproduce this on my Main 64bit Windows 8 Machine, I have just tried installing beta 3 on an old laptop with 32bit Windows 8 operating system, and I get the same results.
I think I could have explained the details a little better. As an example, with 'Activate Window on mouse hover' active. If I have Notepad running as a non active window. I then move my mouse pointer into the Notepad window and it becomes active. I start typing in Notepad but move my mouse pointer out of the way onto a blank desktop area. I can no longer type in Notepad until I bring the mouse pointer back into the window. I was expecting Notepad to stay active until I moved the mouse pointer over another applications window, not on a blank area of the desktop. This scenario is with both 32 bit and 64 bit machines which I have tested AWM with. Maybe I understood this wrong and this is the behaviour you intended for this feature.
When testing on the 32 bit machine I have the processes stripped back to the bare minimum.
basically the normal windows processes plus AWM and Kaspersky anti virus are the only items running.

Gerard,
Could you check whether you are able to reproduce the problem in the current 8.1 version of Actual Window Manager (download link - ) or not?
If yes, could you send me your configuration files (Actual Window Manager -> Tools -> Configuration -> Send to Tech Support) and attach a small video of the problem?

Hello Vasiliy.
I have sent you a small video demonstrating the issue using Notepad. I have tried a couple of times to send the configuration files using the method described, without success. I think my firewall/anti virus software is blocking me from attaching the zip file. I need to look into this.
