Actual Title Buttons 8.15.2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*] Mouse Drag and Scroll: The window dragging part of the "Make the entire
window area responsive to dragging/sizing" feature has been reimplemented:
now it works much more stable and smoother (no more unwanted title button
activations, sizing instead of dragging, or sudden window jumps while
dragging), and is compatible with most of the apps.

The known issues: tabbed CMD/PowerShell/Notepad/Explorer windows in Win11,
Actual Tools Tabbed Explorer windows.

[-] Windows 11 22H2+, Keyboard Modifier Keys: Any specified modifier key
combination stopped being recognized after dragging out any tab in the
system tabbed apps (File Explorer, Notepad, CMD/PowerShell). So the
Actual Title Buttons features based on those combinations stopped
working as well.

[-] Windows 10+, Window Settings: In some cases, settings stopped being applied
to Metro/UWP apps after restarting Actual Title Buttons.

[!] 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)

[!] 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.

[*] Mouse Drag and Scroll: Now the "Make the entire window area responsive to
dragging/sizing" feature is compatible with the Chromium-based apps:
Google Chrome and other web browsers (Brave, Opera, Vivaldi,
Yandex.Browser), Slack, WhatsApp, MS Teams, Upwork, Spotify, etc.

[*] 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)

[!] 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 Title Buttons 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, Title Buttons: The Resize Window title button disappeared
after minimizing/restoring a window.

[-] Window Actions, Title Buttons: The Align Window title button did not restore
the original window placement after changing the alignment several times
in a row.

[-] 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, Hotkeys: The Move to Next Monitor hotkey stopped working
when its corresponding title button was disabled but the corresponding
system menu command was enabled.

[-] Window Actions: If a window was rolled up and then minimized, pausing
or exiting Actual Title Buttons 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] 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 Title Buttons 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

- the Quick Settings dialog now can be invoked by a title bar click
(middle button by default)

[+] 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.

[+] Window Actions: Now the Freeze mode can be toggled via Stay Always-on-Top
title button's context menu, as well as the "Options > Stay always-on-top"
submenu in window's system menu.

[+] 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).

[*] Windows 10 build 19041+, Title Buttons: Glyphs on extra buttons now are
contrast in Chromium-based apps, like web browsers (Google Chrome, Opera,
Vivaldi, Brave), collaboration tools (Microsoft Teams, Slack for Desktop,
Upwork), media players (Spotify), etc.

[*] Window Actions, Multiple Monitors: The Move to Monitor action now works
more accurately in the "Keep aspect ratio" mode when moving a window between
monitors with different both display and DPI resolutions (calculation of
both the window location and size has been improved).

[*] Window Actions, Mouse: The "Maximize horizontally/vertically" mouse actions
work again in a "toggle" manner (i.e. restore the previous window size on
a second click).

[*] Window Actions: Smooth rolling up is improved.

[-] Windows 10 build 19041+, Title Buttons: Glyphs on extra buttons were
not contrast in desktop apps in the Dark visual theme.

[-] Title Buttons: Extra buttons covered the standard ones in Google Chrome
windows on monitors with high (> 200%) DPI resolutions.

[-] Title Buttons: Extra buttons covered the tabs in Microsoft Edge windows.

[-] Title Buttons: Extra buttons covered the standard ones in
Slack for Desktop 4.20+.

[-] Title Buttons: dragging/sizing a window by the mouse imposed some excessive
CPU consumption if any extra buttons were added to the window's title bar.

[-] Title Buttons: Extra buttons became clipped at the bottom after moving their
host window from a monitor with a low (< 150%) DPI resolution to
a monitor with a high (> 200%) DPI resolution.

[-] Window Settings, Windows 7+: Another proper specific settings did not apply
to a File Explorer window with some specific settings already applied when
its caption changed after switching to a certain folder and the Explorer
option "Display the full path in the title bar" was on.

[-] Windows 11, Multiple Monitors, Window Actions: Applying the Move to Monitor
action to maximized windows produced unwanted behavior and visual glitches.

To prevent this, the "Enable compatibility mode for maximized windows"
option now is enabled by default (see the "Window Settings > Global
Options > Move to Monitor" panel).

[-] Window Actions: Some fixes and improvements for the Monitor Selector dialog:

- in the "Move to" mode, the dialog closes after releasing the left
mouse button only if some real movement can be made, otherwise
the dialog stays active

- in the "Move to" mode, dragging the window preview thumbnail is improved

- now drawing is faster due to removing some redundant operations

- in UWP apps, the dialog did not activate after being invoked

- title bar did not scaled properly to a current DPI resolution

- being called for a Maximize to Desktop title button, dialog scaled using
the primary monitor's DPI resolution instead of a current DPI resolution

- in some cases, visual glitches might appear when drawing active dots
in the "Move to" mode

[-] Window Actions: Some fixes for the Quick Settings dialog:

- applying the "Send to bottom" action and closing the dialog
activated the target window that returned it back on top and
therefore made the entire operation senseless

- invoking any service dialog (like "Move to", "Custom position/size",
etc.) for the Quick Settings window itself made it disappear immediately

- fixed graphic resource leaks after each dialog's showing/closing

[-] Window Actions, Hotkeys: Applying any manual alignment to a window (either
via extra title button or window menu command) broke the correct functioning
of the Quick Alignment Numpad hotkeys.

[-] Window Actions: Applying a manual alignment with some horizontal
or vertical position shift specified and then resizing the window by
the Resize action did not retain the specified shift(s) making the window
jump to a certain monitor border closely.

[-] Window Actions: The "Display current window position" feature
did not activate when a window was being resized either by its top-right
or bottom-left corner.

[-] Window Actions: Windows did not rolled up completely on a secondary monitor
if its DPI resolution was less than primary's.

[!] Windows 10 Insider x64 build 21277+: The program crashed at startup.

[+] Licensing: The evaluation period is prolonged by a third of its original
duration for the update versions released after the Free Updates
Subscription expiration date.

[+] Window Actions: Ability is added to insert explicit delays into combo action
sequences.

Note: The ability to specify a delay for the Run Keyboard Macro combo items
has been removed; all existing such items will be converted automatically
to a separate Run Keyboard Macro item and explicit Delay item.

[+] Title Buttons: Ability is added to specify a name for custom Run Keyboard
Macro buttons.

[-] An invalid memory operation could cause cascading errors in the Control
Center at its startup if the "Collect usage statistics" option was enabled.

[-] Some application windows (e.g. Directory Opus) stopped reacting on
Control Center commands (like pausing/resuming or modifying the settings).

[-] Window Actions: The Run Keyboard Macro action forced its target window
remain foreground, which was inappropriate if a macro's purpose presumed
another window activation (especially when the action was activated by
any means other than "At Window Startup").

[-] Window Actions: Minimize-to-Screen floating icons placed at the right/bottom
edge of a monitor might get out of sight after reducing the monitor's
resolution.

[!] In some rare cases, running applications might crash randomly.

[!] Some applications (Adobe products, TechSmith products, Parametric
    Technologies products, and some others) got hung if two or more Actual Tools
    programs were running at once (exiting all but one Actual Tools programs
    made hung applications responsive back).

[-] Title Buttons, Windows 10: Extra buttons looked shorter than regular ones
    in maximized windows of Chromium-based applications (Google Chrome, Slack
    for Desktop, Vivaldi, Opera, Yandex.Browser, Spotify, etc.).

[-] Title Buttons, Slack for Desktop: The following bugs are fixed:

    - extra buttons covered the regular ones if zero horizontal button shift
      was specified

    - extra buttons were almost invisible as their glyphs were of the same color
      as the title bar

    - window couldn't be maximized correctly if there were any extra buttons

[-] Title Buttons: In some rare cases, extra buttons might disappear until
    a window got dragged/sized.

[-] Title Buttons: Extra buttons might either get behind their host window's
    title bar or get visible through other windows in the following cases:

    - after minimizing and then restoring windows via Aero Shake

    - after starting a capture in Windows Snipping Tool

    - in Excel 2013+, after opening the "Find and Replace" dialog and then
      activating a main Excel window

[-] Window Actions: Custom title buttons/hotkeys for the "Run keyboard macro"
    action stopped working in the Default window settings.

[-] Text on buttons in the Evaluation dialog was garbled in some Asian languages
    (Chinese, Japanese).

    - Put into Divider tile
    - Switch Audio Device

[-] Windows Monitoring Log: The following bugs are fixed:

    - dragging an excluded window filled the log quickly with duplicate
      "New window" events

    - a "Caption changed" event was always followed by the duplicate
      "New window" event

    - the Log window itself did not appear in the log

[!] Microsoft Office 2013+: Application windows got frozen for a long time
    (up to several minutes) after locking the user session and then unlocking

    resolution.

[-] Window Actions: After minimizing a window being snapped to left/right half
    of a monitor to notification area, the window lost its snapped state after
    restoration.

[-] Configuration: The "Copy settings from" command stopped working.
