Windows
This module controls the behavior of application windows. Determine how the
window should react to contact with the mouse pointer or to double-clicks on its
title and define the key to hold for moving an application window.
When several application windows populate the desktop, the active one, by de-
fault, is the one last clicked. Change this behavior by activating ‘Select windows
when the mouse moves over them’. If desired, activate ‘Raise selected window
after an interval’ and adjust the latency time with the slider. This activates a win-
dow only when the cursor was placed within the window for a time exceeding
the set latency.
Application windows can be rolled up by double-clicking the title bar, leaving
only the title bar visible. This saves space on the desktop and is the default be-
havior. It is alternatively possible to set windows to maximize when the title bar
is double-clicked.
With the radio buttons, select the modifier key to press for moving a window. The

are applied to all virtual desktops. If you do not want any background picture,

a horizontal gradient, a vertical gradient, or no gradient at all. Use ‘Desktop Col-
ors’ to define the desired colors in the color editor.
To use an image file as a background picture, drag it from the file manager and
drop it in the ‘Desktop Wallpaper’ window. Alternatively, click ‘Add Wallpaper’
