Actual Window Minimizer Changelog

What's new in Actual Window Minimizer 8.15.0

Jun 26, 2023
  • Security: Now all Actual Tools runtime executables natively support the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security technologies provided by the system. That hardens the overall system security by preventing various exploit attacks.
  • Title Buttons: Numerous fixes and improvements in Chromium-based apps:
  • Glyphs on extra buttons did not change their color when toggling an app's window active/inactive automatic gradual compact mode did not work in Opera and Vivaldi (so the extra buttons covered the browser tabs and the "New tab" button)
  • Note: If you have specific windows settings for these browsers (either factory or custom) then you need to reset there the "Title Buttons > Options > Shift the buttons horizontally" value back to 0 to make the gradual compact mode work properly.
  • In some cases current title bar color could not be detected correctly, and the glyphs looked wrong (e.g. white in the Light visual theme)

New in Actual Window Minimizer 8.14.7 (Jun 23, 2022)

  • Memory consumption and overall system load is slightly reduced.
  • In some rare cases multi-window applications might crash silently after
  • closing and re-opening a window of the same type (e.g. separate message
  • window in email client).

  • Title Buttons: Compatibility with Bluebeam Revu is improved.
  • After exiting and then starting Actual Window Minimizer back,

  • closing a window and then opening two windows in a row.
  • Excel 2007+ hung after closing some of its standard dialogs: Protect Sheet,

  • to its window.

  • Title Buttons: In some cases, extra buttons might not work in MDI windows.
  • Window Actions, Mouse: The support for windows with a non-standard
  • window frame to intercept clicks on a title bar, sizeable border, and

  • version, did not work in systems before Windows 10.
  • Configuration: For some combinations of non-default font and non-default
  • font size, the layout of controls got messed in the "Options" group of
  • the "Title Buttons" property sheet.

  • The Configuration Module now can run multiple windows at once. For example, you can open several Window Settings windows using the "Manage window settings" title button (separate window for each settings).

  • Changes made in the Default Window Settings now are propagated automatically to all existing specific window settings (provided that the old value was the same in both Default and particular specific settings).

Click on this button expands the list of active buttons so they can be used as usual. Second click on this button or click somewhere else collapses the list of active buttons so they do not block the view (this can be especially useful in non-standard windows like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).
