Actual Window Rollup Full Changelog
How to Upgrade
[!] Important [+] New [-] Fixed error [*] Changes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.15.2 (13.11.2024) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [!] Program startup speed is slightly increased and overall security is hardened by adding page hashes to Actual Window Rollup executable files. [-] Title Buttons: Some bad-behaving apps might impose noticeable useless load on CPU if extra buttons were added to their windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.15.1 (27.04.2024) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [-] Windows 10+, Window Settings: In some cases, settings stopped being applied to Metro/UWP apps after restarting Actual Window Rollup. [!] Windows 11, Title Buttons: List of knows issues in this version (subject to fix in the future updates, last checked on Windows 11 Version 23H2, build 22631.3447): - extra buttons may cover tabs in the system tabbed apps (File Explorer, Notepad, CMD/PowerShell) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.15 (26.06.2023) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [!] Security: Now all Actual Tools runtime executables natively support the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security technologies provided by the system. That hardens the overall system security by preventing various exploit attacks. [*] Title Buttons: Numerous fixes and improvements in Chromium-based apps: - glyphs on extra buttons did not change their color when toggling an app's window active/inactive - automatic gradual compact mode did not work in Opera and Vivaldi (so the extra buttons covered the browser tabs and the "New tab" button) Note: If you have specific windows settings for these browsers (either factory or custom) then you need to reset there the "Title Buttons > Options > Shift the buttons horizontally" value back to 0 to make the gradual compact mode work properly. - in some cases current title bar color could not be detected correctly, and the glyphs looked wrong (e.g. white in the Light visual theme) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.14.7 (22.06.2022) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [!] Memory consumption and overall system load is slightly reduced. [!] In some rare cases multi-window applications might crash silently after closing and re-opening a window of the same type (e.g. separate message window in email client). [*] Compatibility is improved with custom cursors provided by Yolo Mouse. [*] Title Buttons: Compatibility with Bluebeam Revu is improved. [-] After exiting and then starting Actual Window Rollup back, some features in some applications might work erratically. [-] In multi-window applications memory leaked slightly after each cycle of closing a window and then opening two windows in a row. [-] Excel 2007+ hung after closing some of its standard dialogs: Protect Sheet, Conditional Formatting, Chart Data, etc. [-] Windows 11, Title Buttons: In some system applications (e.g. Windows Paint) unwanted visual effects might appear if any extra buttons were added to their windows. [-] Title Buttons: X1 Search hung at startup if any extra buttons were added to its window. [-] Title Buttons: In some specific applications (especially having windows with non-standard frames) title buttons might appear invisible. [-] Title Buttons: In some specific applications (e.g. X1 Search, SnagIt!) the Compact View popup toolbar appeared empty. [-] Title Buttons: In some cases, extra buttons might not work in MDI windows. [-] Window Actions, Mouse: The support for windows with a non-standard window frame to intercept clicks on a title bar, sizeable border, and standard Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons to invoke assigned mouse actions, as well as to prevent accidental window closing, added in the previous version, did not work in systems before Windows 10. [-] Window Actions: If a window was rolled up and then minimized, pausing or exiting Actual Window Rollup did not restore window's original position and size. [-] Configuration: For some combinations of non-default font and non-default font size, the layout of controls got messed in the "Options" group of the "Title Buttons" property sheet. [-] Configuration: The Send to Tech Support feature did not recognize Windows 11 marking the sent configurations as Win10-built. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.14.6 (22.11.2021) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [!] Some internal components are made more concurrency-friendly by removing redundant locks and eliminating bottlenecks that might cause a noticeable system slowdown on multi-core CPUs in some scenarios. [!] Internal consumption of memory and system resources is slightly reduced, some memory/resource leaks are fixed. [+] Windows 10: Some improvements for UWP apps: - extra menu commands added by Actual Window Rollup are finally available in the system window menu invoked by a title bar right click - mouse actions assigned to a title bar and standard title buttons now work as expected [+] Window Actions, Mouse: The support is added for windows with a non-standard window frame to intercept clicks on a title bar, sizeable border, and standard Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons to invoke assigned mouse actions, as well as to prevent accidental window closing. [+] Title Buttons: The option is added to disable the button's context menu showing in response to a "long" left click (see the "Window Settings > Global Options > Title Buttons" panel).

[+] 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 Window Rollup. [-] The bug prevented NuSphere PhpEd 15 debugger from starting is fixed. [-] Magix products (Movie Edit, Music Maker) stopped responding during loading. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.3 (15.04.2015) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [!] The overall support of high screen DPIs is improved. [*] Last used path is saved in the Configuration Backup/Restore dialogs. [-] Windows 8/8.1: Title buttons didn't change their color on mouse hovering. [-] The multi-selection of specific window settings got broken. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.2.2 (01.11.2014) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [-] Windows disappeared after minimizing/restoring them on the taskbar button click. [-] If the compact view for title buttons was on, sometimes the popup toolbar appeared behind the main window. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.2.1 (24.10.2014) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [*] Title buttons compact mode now works correctly in systems with right-to-left languages (like Arabic or Hebrew). [-] Title buttons in compact mode were positioned incorrectly in the following cases: - in Windows 7 and later with the Aero visual theme activated - with vertical shift applied - when maximizing/restoring a window where the compact mode was activated automatically (i.e. the window's title in normal state was too narrow to embrace the full list of buttons) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Window Rollup 8.2 (22.09.2014) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [!] The Configuration Module now can run multiple windows at once. For example, you can open several Window Settings windows using the "Manage window settings" title button (separate window for each settings). When several configuration windows are open at once, changes made within a particular window are isolated there until you click the Apply button in that window. [!] Changes made in the Default Window Settings now are propagated automatically to all existing specific window settings (provided that the old value was the same in both Default and particular specific settings). [+] Quick Setup wizard is added. It allows to tune up quickly the most frequently used features (according to collected and analyzed usage statistics) without diving into details. [+] Compact mode for extra title buttons is now available: it displays the small narrow button instead of the full list of active buttons. Click on this button expands the list of active buttons so they can be used as usual. Second click on this button or click somewhere else collapses the list of active buttons so they do not block the view (this can be especially useful in non-standard windows like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). The compact mode activates either automatically (when the extra buttons do not fit the title bar) or it can be set permanently for particular windows in the Window Settings options (see the "Title Buttons - Options" group). [+] In addition to a right click on extra title buttons, now you can hold the left mouse button on them for some time to invoke their extended abilities (like context menus or special dialogs). [*] Compatibility with Windows 8.1 Service Pack 1 has been improved. [*] Manage Window Settings button is a regular button now: it can be enabled or disabled in window settings on a per-window basis as any other button.
