Actual Tools heeft versie 8.7 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:
ImportantNew
- The navigation panel in the main Configuration window has been replaced.
- Configuration: The Desktop Divider category in the main Configuration window
has been renamed to "Layout and Snap", and the Windows Layout options and
the Window Snapping options have been moved there from the Options category.
The "Desktop Divider - Tile Layouts" panel has been split into two:
- Desktop Divider - global on/off switch, activation mode
- Tile Layouts - list of tile layouts itself
- Google web slideshow source has been removed because Google discontinued
their Google Image Search service.Changes
- The long-awaited ability is added to resize/drag together windows snapped to
each other (no matter in what way - using either Classic Snap, Aero Snap,
Desktop Divider or even manually).
In short, group operations on adjacent windows work as follows:By default, both these features are turned on in the "While not pressed -
- Group Size - when you resize a window, windows adjacent to a border/corner being dragged are resized accordingly (as if there were a splitter between them)
- Group Drag - when you drag a window, its adjacent windows come along with it (as if they were a single large window)
Ctrl" mode, i.e. you can disable it temporarily by pressing the Ctrl
modifier key.
You can disable these features, or switch the mode to "While pressed", or change the modifier keys combination in the new "Layout and Snap - Group Size/Drag" panel.- Configuration: Ability is added to select all items in the lists with
multi-selection allowed by pressing the Ctrl-A hotkey. As this key
combination was reserved for adding a new item to a list, the New Item
hotkey has been changed to Ctrl-N.Fixed error
- Configuration: Hotkey combinations for list operations have been unified
for all list-editing panels:
- Ins, Ctrl-N - add new item
- Del, Ctrl-D - delete selected item
- F5 - copy selected item
- Ctrl-=, Ctrl-Num+ - enable all items (where available)
- Ctrl--, Ctrl-Num- - disable all items (where available)
- Ctrl-A - select all items (where available)
- Configuration: Confirmation request for the Delete Item operation has been
removed in all list-editing panels. If you accidentally removed the needed
item - you can click the Undo button in the bottom-left corner of the main
Configuration window or press the Undo hotkey (Ctrl-Z by default).- Configuration: The flickering has been reduced significantly when resizing

Preview (build 11102).- Actual Taskbar: Group commands Minimize All/Restore All worked incorrectly.
- Actual Taskbar: The Show Desktop button did not react on clicking its
