5.5 - Window Borders

The window status menu has the following options:

The above image is an example of E17's default window borders and of the window status menu. You are probably already familiar with the basic layout (on the top-left corner there's the icon section, then the title bar, and last on the right you can see the standard minimize, maximize and close buttons), but there are a few things that aren't that common. First of all, the icon on the top-left corner can be replaced with any picture you wish - by default a window shaped icon is displayed. On the right side of the image you can see the E17 window status menu. This menu can be opened by either left-clicking the window icon, by right-clicking anywhere on the titlebar area, or by ALT+right-clicking anywhere on the window.

The window status menu has the following options:

• Window Locks: opens the window locks dialog, from which you can for example protect the window from being accidentally closed.
• Remember: opens the remember dialog, from which you can specify what window states E17 should remember.
• Borders: opens the window borders dialog, from which you can select what border is used. Currently there are two options: default and borderless.
• Send to Desktop: via this menu you can send the window to another desktop.
• Stacking: via this menu you can configure the window layer, for example if you wish the window always to be on top of other windows.
• Shaded: shades or unshades the active window. This can also be done by moving the mousewheel up or down anywhere on the titlebar area.
• Maximized: maximizes or brings the window back to the state as it was before being maximized.
• Sticky: toggles sticky mode. If active, the window is displayed on all virtual desktops.
• Borderless: toggles borderless mode. In order to toggle the window borders back, you'll need to open the window status menu by Alt+right-clicking anywhere inside the application window.
• Fullscreen: toggles fullscreen mode.
• Skip Window List: toggling this on makes the window no longer appear in a taskbar.
• Create Icons: This will open the integrated EAP editor for setting a custom icon for this application. This icon, once set, will be displayed in the top-left corner of the window. This is discussed in detail in the "Binary Formats, Icon Files and the Menu" section.
• Kill: sends the window the kill command. Note that this should only be used if the window does not respond otherwise.
• Iconify: minimizes the window.
• Close: closes the window.

Here is an example screenshot of the window locks/remember settings dialogs:

Also note that by default E17 has edge flipping: if you move the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen, E17 will jump to the next desktop. Windows can also be dragged to other desktops this way.
