v8.7 [Feb 9, 2016]
The navigation panel in the main Configuration window has been replaced.
Configuration: The Desktop Divider category in the main Configuration window has been renamed to "Layout and Snap", and the Windows Layout options and the Window Snapping options have been moved there from the Options category.
The "Desktop Divider - Tile Layouts" panel has been split into two:
- Desktop Divider - global on/off switch, activation mode
- Tile Layouts - list of tile layouts itself
Google web slideshow source has been removed because Google discontinued
their Google Image Search service.
The long-awaited ability is added to resize/drag together windows snapped to each other (no matter in what way - using either Classic Snap, Aero Snap, Desktop Divider or even manually).
v8.6 [Oct 9, 2015]
[ ] The popular request to display the system Recycle Bin in taskbars is
fulfilled. The Recycle Bin is available as an extra button in both
the system taskbar and the Actual Taskbar, and this button provides exactly
the same operations as the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop:
- you can drag-n-drop documents onto it to put them into the Recycle Bin
- you can left-click it to open a folder window showing the Recycle Bin
contents
- you can right-click it to invoke the Recycle Bin context menu
On the system taskbar, you can toggle the Recycle Bin button presence in
the "Multiple Monitors - Taskbar" panel, in the "System Taskbar - Additional
Buttons" group.
On any instance of Actual Taskbar, you can toggle the Recycle Bin button
presence using the "Show the Recycle Bin" command in the taskbar's context
menu.
[ ] Now you can suspend/resume Actual Multiple Monitors via command line using
the following syntax, respectively:
ActualMultipleMonitorsCenter.exe suspend
ActualMultipleMonitorsCenter.exe resume
[*] Windows 10: Compatibility with 3rd party Start menu alternatives (Classic
Shell, Start10, Start Menu X, StartIsBack ) is restored.
[*] If Actual Multiple Monitors was installed into a trusted location (such as
"Program Files" folder) using administrative privileges and then used under
non-privileged user account, Actual Multiple Monitors update installer now
warns that it must be run as administrator to update the installation in
a trusted location.
[-] Windows 10: System Alt-Tab switcher worked wrong if the "Move to monitor at
startup - Where mouse pointer" action was enabled in the default window
settings.
[-] If a Remote Desktop Client window was open full-screen and then was switched
back to windowed mode, extra title buttons did not appear in the title bar.
v8.2 [Sep 24, 2014]
- Actual AeroSnap is enhanced with the ability to make a window quarter monitor size by snapping it into monitor corners, like in Windows 10.
- Ability is added to specify the "Change interval" for wallpaper slideshow in seconds.
- Windows disappeared after minimizing/restoring them on the taskbar button click.
- Wallpaper slideshow in the "Individual picture on each monitor" mode worked wrong on display configurations having cloned monitors.
- Multi-monitor screen saver and slideshow screen saver worked wrong on display configurations having cloned monitors.
- If the compact view for title buttons was on, sometimes the popup toolbar appeared behind the main window.
- If an MDI window was snapped within its parent window using Actual AeroSnap and the parent window was resized, the subject window did not retain the parent size.

- After downloading the update, setup did not run after clicking on the tray balloon "Click here to install it right now" message if the "Load at startup" option was enabled.

--Actual Multiple Monitors Slideshow screen saver stopped showing pictures on existing monitors after attaching an additional one.
--The bottom of title buttons was clipped in JRiver Media Center window.

[*] In Aero visual theme, Multi-monitor Taskbar's color is now exactly the same as the system taskbar's.
