Actual Window Manager full changelog

The overall speed is slightly increased.
Mouse: Now the system-wide mouse input processing can be disabled completely by turning off all the mouse hook-dependent features:
Mouse > Actions > Quick window settings
Mouse > Drag and Scroll > Make the entire window area responsive to
dragging/sizing
Mouse > Drag and Scroll > Scroll inactive windows with the mouse wheel
Mouse > Drag and Scroll > Drag the mouse to scroll windows (Hand tool)
Mouse > Multiple Monitors > Tight monitor boundaries
Mouse > Multiple Monitors > Wrap the desktop
Multiple Monitors > Screen Saver > Save Idle Screens > Start
automatically when a monitor remains idle for
This can be useful if you do not need those features and have any problems with the input processing (delays, mouse stuttering, overall performance degradation, etc.).
Turning all those features off tells Actual Window Manager not to install a new (or remove the existing) system mouse hook. Turning any of them on keeps the system mouse hook on and operational.
Virtual Desktops: Now the "Show Expose task switcher" hotkey displays the Virtual Desktops Expose switcher instead of a plain Expose switcher, if the Virtual Desktops facility is active.
Window Actions: Now certain controls in the Quick Settings dialog can be quickly activated by pressing an appropriate Alt- keyboard shortcut.
Hotkeys: Now, if Actual Window Manager is paused, only two its hotkeys remain available: "Configure" (Win-C by default) and "Pause/resume" Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Num- by default).

[+] Custom grouping of taskbar buttons is now available in Actual Taskbar.

To add certain window into a group, drag its preview thumbnail and drop it
onto the group button (or another window's button to make a new group).

To remove window from a group, drag its preview thumbnail and drop it
onto the empty taskbar space.

To handle groups in a quick and easy manner, the
quot;Tile/Cascade/Minimize/Restore/Move to Monitorquot; commands have been added.
These commands can be invoked:

- via group's Jump List
- via caption buttons in the group's preview window
- via group button's context menu (you can invoke it using Shift-RClick
on the group button)

Note: Dragging the preview of a browser tab (Internet Explorer, Chrome,
Firefox, etc.) will add the entire browser window into the group, not just
that separate tab.
