Actual Tools heeft versie 8.5.0 van Actual Multiple Monitors uitgebracht. Dit programma is bedoeld voor mensen die met meer dan één beeldscherm werken. Zo kan het een taakbalk en startknop op elk scherm aanbrengen. In Windows 8 werd hiervoor van Classic Shell gebruikgemaakt, maar dit mag niet meer worden meegeleverd, hoewel het er nog steeds prima mee samenwerkt. Actual Multiple Monitors kan verder een achtergrond maken die zich over alle schermen uitstrekt en voegt knoppen toe om programma's naar het andere scherm te verplaatsen of over verschillende schermen te openen. Het programma kan dertig dagen worden geprobeerd en een licentie kost 24,95 dollar. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
NewChanges
- Vista+: The long-awaited ability to customize the Logon/Lock Screen background image is added. On multi-monitor systems, it also allows to run picture slideshow on secondary monitors (see the new "Logon Screen" section in the Quick Setup wizard and the main Configuration window).
- Vista+: Default Audio Device Switcher is added. It lets you quickly switch the audio device used in the system by default for sound output, if you have more than one audio hardware device installed in your PC (most modern video cards have embedded audio hardware to support such combined video/audio output standards as HDMI or DisplayPort).
- You can invoke the list of available devices via special hotkey combination (Win-Ctrl-A by default, can be changed on the "Hotkeys - Actions" panel in the "Tools" group).
Fixed errors
- Now, when running multi-monitor slideshow, the "Next slide" command affects only the monitor where it has been invoked.
