Actual Virtual Desktops 8.15.2

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

[!] 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.

[*] 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 Virtual Desktops 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.

[-] 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: Extra menu commands added by Actual Virtual Desktops are finally
available in the system window menu invoked by a title bar right click
in UWP apps.

[+] Windows 10, Virtual Desktops: Now the classic Virtual Desktop Switcher
supports the Dark visual theme in both "classic/independent" modes.

[+] 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

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

[-] Title Buttons: dragging/sizing a window by the mouse imposed some excessive

[-] 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.

[-] Virtual Desktops: Some fixes for a classic Virtual Desktop Switcher:

when moving a Switcher window between monitors with different DPI
resolutions

menu showed the lists of desktops for the monitors currently turned off;
the same was true for a context menu of the Move to Virtual Desktop
title button and the system window menu's submenu

- at startup, Virtual Desktop Switchers from different monitors
might appear on the same monitor in certain desktop configurations

- Virtual Desktop Switchers from secondary monitors moved to a primary
monitor instead of hiding after turning off their host monitor

- Virtual Desktop Switchers did not update their position after changing
taskbar position/size

[!] Internal security has been accurately revised and tightened to follow the
    principle of least privilege (in particular, for kernel objects used for
    inter-process communication).

[!] Internal error handling has been revised and improved for better
    interoperability with apps using .NET runtime (and probably some other
    frameworks).

[!] Internal handling of display-related information has been optimized to
    reduce the overall delay after changing the desktop geometry (i.e.
    attaching/detaching a monitor or changing a monitor resolution).

    Switcher windows on-the-fly via context menu. The following features can be

попробую на работе поставить. потестю с недельку. За портабле версию огромное спасибо.

[!] 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).

[+] Virtual Desktops: The ability is added to resize a Virtual Desktop Switcher
    window on-the-fly as any regular sizeable window. Set location/size are
    remembered (per each monitor either in Independent mode or for cloned
    switchers in Classic mode).

[-] Virtual Desktops: The following bugs are fixed:

    - suspending/resuming the Actual Virtual Desktops Control Center
      might cause random memory errors in the Control Center process

      Control Panel, Skype for Desktop, Slack for Desktop, MS Teams, KiTTY,
      Insync, Everything

    - after switching from Classic to Independent mode, on some multi-monitor
      configurations two switchers might appear on the same monitor

    - after changing a mode, switcher's placement stored and restored incorrect

    - tooltips with desktop names sometimes appeared in the top-left corner
      instead of the center

    - after dragging a minimized window's icon between switchers on different
      monitors the source switcher retained the icon until window's restoration

[-] 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:

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

[+] Virtual Desktops: The ability is added to keep the Virtual Desktop
    Switcher's position while toggling it on/off via hotkey: turn off the newly
    added "Show the switcher near mouse pointer" option in the "Virtual
    Desktops" panel to make the switcher stop following the mouse and stay
    where you left it last time.

[*] Configuration: Now configuration windows and dialogs correctly scale their
    content to a current DPI resolution, including on-the-fly scaling when
    dragging them between monitors with different DPI resolutions.

invoked via right-click on a button) for a currently active window
via hotkeys. The following hotkey has been added:

- Show the "Move to specific virtual desktop" menu (Win-Ctrl-\)

You can change the default key combination in the Hotkeys-Actions panel.

This feature can be useful on monitors with high resolutions (up to 4K)
where distance to a required button may be too long to drag the mouse there
just to invoke the dialog via right click. Using the hotkeys above will make
the dialogs appear exactly under the mouse pointer, ready for immediate use.

[+] The CFL command line switch is expanded with the ability to specify
an arbitrary folder where the configuration files should be stored:

ActualVirtualDesktopsCenter.exe CFL ""

[*] Overall stability is improved.
