Developer's Description: "Actual Title Buttons is a suite of the most essential and popular tools for desktop windows control and manipulation: minimize them to tray, set up priority, apply transparency, make them stay always-on-top of other windows, align, resize, roll up and even "ghost" them! You can do any of these advanced operations in a mouse click on the title bar icons that are added to standard Minimize/Restore/Close buttons immediately after installation. Furthermore, users are welcome to make up and apply their own window settings which are also done in a mouse click. Installation, as well as the use of the program, is extremely easy and does not require much time. Once installed, Actual Title Buttons adds its own buttons to the title bar of each window (each button represents a particular function - for example, roll up or align) and provides the list of predefined functions. Actual Title Buttons is useful for those who favor the mouse over the keyboard and want to improve their work's efficiency. The special design of the program makes it quick and convenient to operate desktop windows in a mouse click (nevertheless, there is an opportunity to use the hotkeys). Actual Title Buttons is irreplaceable when you have to work with numerous applications at once switching from one to another, which is very annoying and frustrating. Moreover, it becomes quite difficult to distinguish between minimized programs as they get the taskbar piled up. Actual Title Buttons enables you to forget that chaos and proceed with your work not being disturbed by windows mess on the desktop."

Developer's Description: "Actual Transparent Window serves the purpose of facilitating work with several windows at a time. It lets you forget about window minimization and maximization routine by enabling the transparency feature applicable to any single window. It gives you means for efficient workspace usage along with productivity boost. Simple and convenient controls will help you take advantage of new technologies for reaching optimal organization of your work. You can turn on transparency via different short manipulations. It's possible to use the extra button on the window title bar, double click the title bar or activate transparency by a hotkey. Also you can switch to a handy Ghost mode to get direct access to underlying data through a transparent window (in this mode all mouse clicks go "through" the window) or enable "Always on Top" mode to have the selected window always at hand. The program has been refined for years, so it delivers the impeccable interface and it's absolutely easy-to-use. You will find it very friendly from the very moment you try it. Rich adjustment options provide additional comfort. The program lets you change options that affect all window types or create individual settings for particular types of windows. Moreover, you can also define different transparency rates for a particular window in different states, like when it's active or inactive, being moved, resized or pointed by mouse. Using the intuitive controls it'll be very simple to make all windows look the way it fits you best." New in this release:
