Hello, John Smith. I´m glad to inform you that we have released the new version 7.1 of our main line of products and the new version 4.1 of Actual Virtual Desktops and Actual Multiple Monitors. Important Note! Right after releasing this version, there has been discovered a bug that causes crashing of Adobe software products (our early adopters reported about the problems with Illustrator CS6, Dreamweaver CS3/CS5, Flash CS3 and other products). The bug has been fixed immediately after it was discovered, and the update has been released. If you still have the mentioned problems - I strongly recommend you to re-download and re-install the new version upon receiving this newsletter.

Back to top   Bugfixes Actual Taskbar detected the full-screen windows wrong in the Aero visual theme. In "Use small icons" mode, group buttons in Actual Taskbar displayed large icons scaled down instead of the small icons. Actual Taskbar in not on-top mode did not come forward after clicking its sub-controls (like toolbars). Windows 7: Actual Taskbar did not displayed the icon for Windows Picture Viewer. In some cases, photo slideshow screen savers (Windows Photos, Google Photos, etc.), while being assigned to run on different monitors, stopped at first slide. Desktop Divider: stretching a window across several tiles didn't work in some cases after placing a window into a tile on another monitor and then maximizing the window, its restoration brought it back to the original monitor activating another layout did not make its tiles conform with the Desktop work area Clicking the Maximize button in a window that was Aero-snapped to left/right half of desktop did not maximize the window. Virtual Desktops: Parts of Windows Media Player running in a virtual desktop appeared on another virtual desktop after switching desktops. IrfanView became unresponsive after trying to scroll its window by the mouse wheel with the Scroll Inactive Windows feature active. Tooltip that shows current window position displayed the top-left of window's client area instead of the top-left for the outer window frame.
