Software Update: Actual Multiple Monitors 8.1.2

Actual Tools has released an update for version 8.1 of Actual Multiple Monitors. This program is intended for people who work with more than one monitor. Thus, it can put a taskbar and start button on every screen. Windows 8 used Classic Shell for this, but should no longer be included, although it still works fine with it. Actual Multiple Monitors can further create a background that spans all screens and adds buttons to move programs to another screen or open them across different screens. The program can be tried for 30 days and a license costs $ 24.95. In version 8.1.2 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New

• Ability to display the picture source in desktop background slideshow is added. You can open any current slideshow picture file in your default picture viewer by using the “Open slide” command in the Desktop context menu.
• The automatic rotation/flipping of pictures in desktop background slideshow to their original orientation is added.
• Ability to specify file masks (using the “*” and “?” symbols) for the Program target window criterion is added.

changes

• Windows 7: Actual Taskbar is compatible with ClassicShell Start menu.
• Additional title buttons are now compatible with Stardock WindowFX.
• Compatibility with Agnitum Outpost Security Suite has been restored.
• Compatibility with Foxit PDF Reader has been improved.
• Windows 8/8.1: Actual Taskbar now correctly handles the 0% transparency value and can be made opaque.
• Windows 8/8.1: Now switching between running applications while keeping Alt-Tab pressed is faster.
