The Title Buttons property sheet defines which extra buttons should be added to target window's title bar, and also allows adjusting some related options.

Actions Available Via Title Buttons group - contains the action list and the Action Options group.

The Name list column displays the action name and the Status list column displays the current state of action parameters, if present. To adjust desired action's parameters, select it in the list and in the Action Options group below you will see some extra controls allowing to change action parameters (if action has no configurable parameters then you will see the "No extra options" note).

Options group - allows adjusting the Title Buttons trigger options. Currently the following options are available:

• Shift the buttons spin edit lets you precisely place extra buttons in target window's title bar relatively to standard ones. Although Actual Tools programs try to detect the number of standard buttons (and an appropriate shift value) automatically, in some rare cases (e.g. a particular application has its own additional buttons) it may be useful to set this value manually. The shift value can be a positive integer (shift to the left), a negative integer (shift to the right) or zero (automatic placement).

  Note
  Use negative shift values with care, because an incorrect value may result in overlapping the standard title buttons, so you won't be able to use them! In general, use the Shift the buttons option only if you encounter a problem with the automatic placement, otherwise it's better to leave this option unchanged.

• Show grouping button check box - mark it to display the Unused Buttons title button in target window's title bar.

• Office 2007 style check box - mark it to use the special skin for target window's title buttons instead of the general one. This skin is visually compatible with the new style of title bar look introduced in Microsoft Office 2007 program suite. For now, there is no reliable method to automatically detect that certain window has the Office 2007 style so that you should use this option to force manually the native Office 2007 look of title buttons in particular window.
