Mini Windows

The mini windows on the Vern selector are representations of the actual windows that are under Vern's control. You can display these mini windows with or without the 3D style borders -- see 3D Mini Windows -- or with or without icons -- see Mini Icons. Dragging one of the mini windows to a new location on the Vern selector causes the actual window to also be moved to the same location in Vernspace.

When a mini window is dropped in a different cell it snaps to the same on screen location as its original screen unless the Ctrl key is depressed. The mini window will always be moved if dropped within the same cell.

Moving a mini window that is locked will cause it to snap back to the cell in which it is locked. To move a locked window you must first unlock the window by right clicking on the mini-window and selecting Unlock from the mini-window context menu.

Click on a mini window, and the corresponding program window will be activated causing Vern to switch to the Virtual Screen where the program is located. If the Passive Mini Windows option is selected Vern just switches to its desktop without activating the program.

When the mouse cursor moves over top of a mini window you will see a small tooltip with the window title of the real window, if you have turned on the Show Tooltips option.
