Hi, everyone!
I'm glad to inform you that our Beta Testing section has been updated: beta 1 of Actual Window Manager 6.4 and Actual Multiple Monitors 3.1 are available there for downloading and testing.
Both beta versions offer two great features - the Mirroring facility and the ability to create custom hotkeys (see below for more details).
Mirroring
This is another great feature for multi-monitor users: mirroring allows viewing a certain part of desktop in a separate floating window. Actual Tools have very flexible and powerful mirroring:
- you can create a mirror window for
- the area around the mouse pointer
- specified window
- specified monitor
- an arbitrary area of desktop
- you can create as many mirrors as you like and run them together (at the price of performance, of course)
- you can start/stop mirrors independently
- you can zoom the mirrored image in/out up to ten times
After creating the required mirrors, you can start/stop them via tray icon's context menu:
Create Custom Hotkeys
We've been asked many times to add such ability - and now it's available at last! You can add new items to the Hotkeys list by clicking the button - the Select Action dialog appears (in Actual Window Manager; in Actual Multiple Monitors you can create custom hotkeys for the Move to Monitor action only):
After selecting the required action, you can specify the key combination and the additional parameters of the selected action:
You can create as many hotkeys for a certain action as you need (for example, several Resize hotkeys with different window sizes, several Move to Monitor hotkeys with different target monitors, etc.).
Minor Fixes and Improvements
- You can make the background slideshow play sequential by disabling the random play order:
- You can customize the modifiers key combination to suspend the window snapping, both classic and Aero (snapping stops working while you hold the specified keys pressed):
- Now Aero Shake and Win-M hotkey minimize windows only on a monitor with the mouse pointer
- The separate Start/Stop Program hotkeys are replaced with the single Toggle Program hotkey (Ctrl - Alt - Num- by default)
- Icons pinned on secondary taskbars no more disappear
- Virtual Desktops Switcher no more disappears after switching desktops
Happy testing!
