Actual Transparent Window 8.15.4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Internal low-level structures are cleaned and optimized;
also, their processing is highly accelerated on x64 systems,
resulting in overall speed increase.

[-] On some multi-monitor systems, the primary display might be detected
incorrectly, resulting in various visual and logical issues.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] The overall speed is slightly increased.

[*] Hotkeys: Now, if Actual Transparent Window is paused, only two its hotkeys
remain available: "Configure" (Win-C by default) and "Pause/resume"
(Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Num- by default).

[-] Title Buttons, Vista+: In some rare cases, extra buttons could prevent
the main app window from receiving input focus.

[-] 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 Transparent Window 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 Transparent Window.

[!] 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 Transparent Window 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: 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 Transparent Window 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

[+] 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.

[-] 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 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.

[-] 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).
