<div class="Text">Below are the configuration options:</div>
<div class="HeaderSmall"><a href="#" name=""></a></div>
<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#EnableMaximizedWindowDraggingBetweenMonitors" name="EnableMaximizedWindowDraggingBetweenMonitors">Enable maximized window dragging between monitors</a></div>
<div class="Text">This allows you to drag a maximized window from one monitor to another while maintaining its maximized state.</div>
<div class="Text">Notes: If you like to have your windows locked in place while working, we suggest you disable this. The snap settings in the Windows "Multitasking" settings will override this. Disable "Snap Windows" in the Multitasking section of Windows before disabling this checkbox.</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#ShowMonitorSelectorWhileDragging" name="ShowMonitorSelectorWhileDragging">Show monitor selector while dragging</a></div>
<div class="Text">This setting creates a visual notification of the monitor where your window is positioned while dragging. This is especially useful when using monitor splits.</div>
<div class="PageBreak"></div>
<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#ShowMonitorSelectorWhenDraggingNon-MaximizedWindowsToSplitMonitors" name="ShowMonitorSelectorWhenDraggingNon-MaximizedWindowsToSplitMonitors">Show monitor selector when dragging non-maximized windows to split monitors</a></div>
<div class="Text">This extension of the "Show monitor selector while dragging" option includes non-maximized windows. Holding the shift key will override this behavior.</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#EnableWindowCaptionBarMiddle-ClickingToMoveWindowsToTheNextMonitorHoldShiftToMoveToPreviousMonitor" name="EnableWindowCaptionBarMiddle-ClickingToMoveWindowsToTheNextMonitorHoldShiftToMoveToPreviousMonitor">Enable window caption bar middle-clicking to move windows to the next monitor (Hold shift to move to previous monitor)</a></div>
<div class="Text">This allows you to mouse-wheel click a window titlebar to move it to the next monitor, a shortcut for the "Move window to next monitor" function.</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#ShowATooltipWhenMovingOrRe-SizingAWindowToDisplayLocationAndSize" name="ShowATooltipWhenMovingOrRe-SizingAWindowToDisplayLocationAndSize">Show a ToolTip when moving or re-sizing a window to display location and size</a></div>
<div class="Text">This displays a tooltip overlay on the window currently being dragged. The tooltip will show the size (in pixels) of the window, and the pixel locations of the top left, and bottom right corners of the window. (DisplayFusion Pro Only)</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#AllowDisplayfusionToHelpMinimizeAllWindowsWhenWinMIsPressed" name="AllowDisplayfusionToHelpMinimizeAllWindowsWhenWinMIsPressed">Allow DisplayFusion to help minimize all windows when Win + M is pressed</a></div>
<div class="Text">This setting allows DisplayFusion to minimize all windows across all screens when the Win + M keyboard shortcut is pressed.</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#EnableAeroShakeShakeAWindowToMinimizeAllOtherWindows" name="EnableAeroShakeShakeAWindowToMinimizeAllOtherWindows">Enable Aero Shake (shake a window to minimize all other windows)</a></div>
<div class="Text">Disable this setting to prevent Windows from minimizing all windows when shaking a window with the mouse.</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#MoveNewlyOpenedApplicationWindowsToTheCurrentMonitor" name="MoveNewlyOpenedApplicationWindowsToTheCurrentMonitor">Move newly opened application windows to the current monitor</a></div>
<div class="Text">This option forces the first process of a newly-opened application to move to the monitor the mouse cursor is currently on.</div>

<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#OnlyMoveWindowsOpenedFromTheStartMenuOnlyWithWindows7OrClassicShell" name="OnlyMoveWindowsOpenedFromTheStartMenuOnlyWithWindows7OrClassicShell">Only move windows opened from the Start Menu (only with Windows 7 or Classic Shell)</a></div>
<div class="Text">This option forces only the applications launched from the Start menu to move to the monitor that the mouse cursor is currently on.</div>
<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#CentreChildWindowsOverTheParentWindow" name="CentreChildWindowsOverTheParentWindow">Centre child windows over the parent window</a></div>
<div class="Text">This setting automatically moves any child dialogs or windows to the same monitor that the parent window is on.</div>
<div class="PageBreak"></div>
<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#MoveOnlyModalWindowsWindowsThatBlockInput" name="MoveOnlyModalWindowsWindowsThatBlockInput">Move only modal windows (windows that block input)</a></div>
<div class="Text">This setting forces DisplayFusion to move only modal windows, instead of all child windows.</div>
<div class="HeaderSmallSub"><a href="#MoveChildWindowsThatAreOnTheSameMonitorAsTheParentWindow" name="MoveChildWindowsThatAreOnTheSameMonitorAsTheParentWindow">Move child windows that are on the same monitor as the parent window</a></div>
