Success Story of Jyrki Laaksonen:

(I have used Actual Title Buttons with) Excel, Word, PDF - information transfer to CAD/CAE tools, where normal copy-paste is not feasible.

Add Minimize To Tray, Roll up\Unroll Window, Stay On Top and Make Transparent buttons to any window's title bar next to Minimize/Restore/Close. Review info:

With which applications on your PC do you use Actual Title Buttons?

Excel, Word, PDF - information transfer to CAD/CAE tools, where normal copy-paste is not feasible.

The copy-paste to CAD/CAE is possible but not handy. Typically CAD/CAE tools have lot of dialog boxes, where you put some individual values. For example, modification of component values in a schematic diagram according to analysis sheet. With a single screen(!) PC this modification requires following steps:

  • activation of list application,
  • copy the value,
  • activation of schematic application,
  • selection of component property,
  • paste the value,
  • repeat this list for each value.

With transparency the list stays behind transparent schematic, and the task is to select component properties and write the visible values.

Where did you hear about Actual Title Buttons?

Google search with key words "transparency XP application". This caused many hits from which only few was directed to information how to manage transparency in application desktop windows. From Actual Tools software Actual Title Buttons was the best for my purpose.
