Actual Window Manager is a practical and intelligent desktop enhancement application, developed by Actual Tools from Canada. If you feel like you're running out of your desktop space at work, then it can make a huge difference to your desktop. However, it's important to note that the goal of this tool is not to change your window usage habit, but to make it get the maximum play and enhance.

As a powerful window management/virtual desktop software, Actual Window Manager claims to be the king in the area of window management. For example, it can keep any window at the top of desktop, minimize it to the system tray or the desktop at the edge of screen, add transparency to any window or interface, roll up the window (leaving only the title), support multiple monitors, and so on. In addition, one of its major features is that different window rules can be customized according to window titles or window classes, so that different windows can have fully automatic classification management.

Specifically, after running Actual Window Manager, it adds several useful function buttons to the left of the Minimize/Maxmize/Close buttons in the upper right corner of any window, which are used to control the window's position, size, rollup, transparency, and other settings that Microsoft Windows does not provide natively. This tool doesn't take up much memory and can improve the productivity of using Windows OS notably.

BTW, besides being pretty, the window transparency is an excellent feature for people whose work involves document proofreading. Because in that case they can transparently stack the window of the output file on top of that of the original file for proofreading, which makes things much easier and more efficient. On the contrary, the traditional left + right screen splitting method is enough to make people dizzy and reduce the work efficiency and quality.
