"Usage" Category

Here you can enter a range of mouse and keyboard options, adapt the items of the Start menu and the

speed at which submenus open, and determine the appearance and behavior of the taskbar.

Here you will find detailed descriptions of your settings options, sorted by subcategory in the left side of the

window:

Input options

Mouse functions

Under Swap mouse buttons you can swap the left and right mouse button. You would then click with the

right-hand button and open the context menu with the left-hand button.

Many mice now come with a scroll wheel. In accordance with Microsoft Intellimouse and similar models,

under Scroll wheel you can specify what should happen when this wheel is used. The standard setting is

scroll by 3 lines. You can change the number of lines, increase the scrolling setting to a full screen page or

turn it off completely.

Under Set pointer automatically you can specify that the cursor automatically moves to the highlighted

button when a dialog box opens so that you can click this button right away.

Mouse Sensitivity

Under Double clicking and dragging you can specify how much you can move the mouse when double

clicking and how far you have to move the mouse to start dragging an object. The values are given in pixels.

Tip: Try out your new settings on the Test icon.

Under Hover effect you can change the movement tolerance and the hover time of the mouse cursor for

the display of the Hover effect. This takes effect as soon as the cursor hovers over an item for a certain

length of time.

Tip: Here too you can try out the setting on a Test icon. It lights up as soon as the mouse pointer is placed

over it.

Active Window Tracking

Here, you can activate a little-known Windows function that could entirely change the way you work with

windows: Active window tracking.

If you enable this feature, all you need to do is move the mouse pointer over an inactive window to activate

it so that you can work with that program. You then no longer need to click on a window in order to enable

it.

You can turn on the option in the Foreground section in order to pull the active window immediately to the

top.
