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

• Shift the buttons horizontally spin edit lets you adjust the default placement of 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 horizontally option only if you encounter a problem with the automatic placement, otherwise it's better to leave this option unchanged.

• Shift the buttons vertically spin edit lets you adjust the default placement of extra buttons in target window's title bar relatively to target window's top edge. So, when this option is enabled the extra buttons will be placed exactly at the top edge (zero pixels shift). Adjusting the shift value to a positive integer will shift the buttons down (inside the window boundaries) and the negative value will shift the buttons up (outside of the window boundaries).

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

• Compact view check box - mark it to hide all the extra buttons and display the small special button instead of them. Clicking this button will show/hide the extra buttons as a popup toolbar. This option can be useful if there is little place or some other extra controls in the target window's title bar so that the extra buttons do not fit it or cover those controls.

• 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. In the related combo box you can select one of pre-defined styles: blue, silver or black.
