Quick Settings Dialog

The Quick Settings dialog is a usability tool purposed mostly for mouse fans. Here you can quickly adjust both basic and advanced characteristics of a single window (such as position, size, transparency, caption text, caption icon, always-on-top state, etc.) in an integrated vivid manner. Just a single click required to change the desired characteristic, and all changes are applied immediately so you get instant visual feedback for your actions.

There are two large groups of controls in this dialog - Placement and Advanced Properties.

Placement

The Placement group of controls allows the quick and flexible adjustment of such primary window properties as position and size. Also it includes the possibility to choose the host monitor (if you have a multi-monitor system) and the possibility to choose the host virtual desktop (if you use the Virtual Desktops facility):

• Alignment toolbar allows the quick setup of window position in 9 predefined locations with the help of Align action.
• Stretch toolbar allows you quickly enlarge the window in 8 predefined directions with the help of Stretch action. The middle button stretches the window over the whole desktop (in case of multiple displays - over all available displays).
