Short description: Actual Window Minimizer belongs to the family of the next generation system enhancement applications. The program sports such unconventional functions as window minimization to the system tray and to the desktop edge, automatic minimization of an inactive window plus minimization of an application to the tray at its launch. The program seamlessly integrates into Windows and functions totally transparently throughout the Operating System. Therefore, new minimization options are available in virtually any system window. Minimize-to-Tray control is visually represented as another Windows-style title bar button placed next to the Minimize/Restore/Close buttons. Besides, the program allows redefining the action of the standard Minimize button so that it will fold up an application into an icon and place it either in the tray or on the desktop edge. Minimization can be triggered via title bar buttons, contextual menu or hotkeys. Actual Window Minimizer is a must-have for all users who regularly multitask in several applications at a time. With the standard Windows method, trying to work in a dozen or more programs was far too daunting a job. Today, however, it is fast and simple. Our customers will no longer see window clutter on the taskbar. They won't waste time on hunting for a particular program in that mess. There will be fewer risks of closing right applications by mistake, fewer distracting clicks, less strain and stress. Want to have a better control of your windows? Then, Actual Window Minimizer is the way to go!

It allows detecting newly appeared windows and check, which window rule has been applied in each particular case. Now you can easily solve any configuration ambiguities and detect properties of short-living windows (like tool tips, popup menus etc.).

[+] When minimizing to screen, now you can make screen icons semi-transparent. [+] Now the balloon tip is shown over the Control Center's tray icon at first start after the installation. [*] The internal mechanism of hotkeys processing is significantly improved.
