Thumbnail Settings

The thumbnail settings tab contains all the settings that affect the way the thumbnails are drawn.

·    Size - Sets the default size for the thumbnail
·    Sizing Mode - When creating the thumbnail, miniMIZE uses the 'Size' setting to control either the width or height of the thumbnail. It then calculates the other dimension.

Setting this setting to 'Use Width' will tell miniMIZE to use the 'Size' setting for width of the thumbnail and that it should calculate the height of the thumbnail.
Setting this setting to 'Use Height' will tell miniMIZE to use the 'Size' setting for the height of the thumbnail and that it should calculate the width of the thumbnail.
Setting this setting to 'Smart Sizing' will tell miniMIZE to use the 'Size' setting for whichever of the dimensions is the largest and to calculate the other dimension. This allows miniMIZE to keep all the thumbnails in proportion to one another despite the size and shape of the window.
·    Default Level - This setting allows you to control the window level (position of the thumbnail in the Z-order) at which all thumbnails will be when they are created. The can be either always on top ('Pin To Top'), normal ('Normal') or always on bottom ('Pin To Desktop').
·    Opacity - The opacity that all thumbnails will have when they are created.
·    Flash Color - Because miniMIZE is acting in a similar way to the Windows taskbar, it needs a way to communicate to you that a window is attempting to get your attention. The standard Windows taskbar flashes the button. In a similar way, miniMIZE flashes an outline on the thumbnail that is attempting to attract your attention. This setting sets the color of the outline.
·    Show Application Icons On Thumbnail - This setting allows you to turn off the icons that are drawn on the thumbnails.

Once you have setup the way you want your thumbnails to be drawn, clicking Ok will close the dialog.
