Actual Window Manager 4.4 is a must-have for users of Remote Desktop/Terminal Services!
Actual Tools today announces the release of Actual Window Manager 4.4, a populardesktop enhancement suite, now featuring Remote Desktop/Terminal Servicescapabilities. With the evolution of the Remote Desktop service in the latestversions of Windows, their popularity is on the rise, both among home users andcorporate network administrators. However for all the advantages, the use of RemoteDesktop access presents users with some challenges that newly released Actual WindowManager promises to meet.
ItÂ's typical that the size of the desktop when working remotely is considerablysmaller than usual. This is done purposefully to reduce broadcast images and savetraffic. Besides, many applications  remember the position and size of theirwindows on closing and when windows are opened again on smaller desktop, users haveto resize such windows to make them smaller and position them in the convenientorder again  all manually. Some windows may even jump out of the visible area ofthe desktop. Similar problems appear when users switch from the lower resolution tothe higher one, but this time itÂ's necessary to make windows larger.
Fortunately, Actual Window Manager 4.4 will help you tackle such problems in severalways.
 The latest version has introduced a new  Automatically keep windows layout mode,in which Actual Window Manager will track all the changes of the desktop size andautomatically adjust the size and position of all currently open windows, savingtheir sizes and placement relatively to each other and the desktop.
 The  Restrict placement option will help you prevent windows from jumping out ofthe visible area of the desktop. Once the option is enabled, users can set up aframe on the desktop, within which windows will be placed. Inside the frame, windowscan be freely moved and resized, but Actual Window Manager will track the changes inthe size and position of windows and wonÂ't let windows go beyond the specified framearea. If a window goes out of the set area on opening, itÂ'll get taken to itautomatically.
 For frequently used windows, users can specify the size and position in percentsfor automatic setup relatively to the current size of the desktop, which will ensurethe identical representation of the window, regardless of the size of the desktop.
 Another peculiarity typical for workplaces in call centers, network operationcenters and stock exchanges appears on connecting to the remote server from theworkstation that controls several connected monitors. In this case, the serverdoesnÂ't know that physically the client has several monitors and  thinks that ithas one large monitor displaying the desktop. Some applications automatically placetheir windows (such as query dialogs, message boxes) in the center of the desktop.In this case, such a window gets split between monitors, hindering users from normalwork. To fix this problem, Actual Window Manager 4.4 offers users a  Relocate splitwindows option to automatically detect such windows and move them to the specifiedplace on the desktop, making work more predictable, comfortable and efficient. Theabove mentioned options for automatic positioning and sizing of windows relativelyto the desktop will let users more effectively utilize the given workspace,displaying particular windows fully on specific monitors.
Remote Desktop will considerably increase the efficiency of utilizing thecomputational resources. Actual Window Manager 4.4 will increase the effectivenessof the remote access itself, relieving users from a number of inconveniences androutine operations, making the behavior of windows more predictable.
