What's new

v8.6 [Oct 7, 2015]

v8.5 [Sep 2, 2015]

v8.4 [May 30, 2015]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Transparent Window 8.4 (27.05.2015)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] Automatic detection of free place for extra title bar buttons is added in:
- popular web browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox;
- Microsoft Office applications (since Office 2007);
- Windows Explorer (since Windows 8).
This feature should prevent the overlapping of extra title bar buttons
provided by Actual Transparent Window with standard controls available
in a window (like standard buttons, browser tabs, New Tab button, etc.).
[ ] Automatic gradual Compact View is added for extra title bar buttons:
now the buttons are getting hidden/shown 1-by-1 if there is not enough
(or enough again) place in the title bar to show the full list of enabled
extra buttons. When some buttons get hidden, the special Compact View button
automatically appears on the left of remained buttons: click on this button
will display the currently hidden buttons.
[-] Sometimes running programs might crash after unloading Actual Transparent Window.
[-] The bug prevented NuSphere PhpEd 15 debugger from starting is fixed.
[-] Magix products (Movie Edit, Music Maker) stopped responding during loading.
