If you want to disable the behavior of the icons moving away from content, you can do it via the Anchors settings tab.

In the Anchors tab (Tray icon –> All Settings –> Anchors tab) disable the “Stay away from text or image”

If you want, you can enable an anchor for a specific window of your choice.
See a demo:

To do this, use the toolbar and click the Anchor button:

If you don’t see the Anchor button, you can enable it here:

You can also toggle it using a hotkey (see the screenshot above for instructions).

In the Anchors tab (Tray icon –> All Settings –> Anchors tab), scroll down to “Mouse shortcuts”

For each mouse shortcut, you have these options:

• Open right-click menu
• Minimize window
• Close window

By default, none of the shortcuts open the right-click menu.
If you select the “open right-click menu” option, then when you right-click on an anchor, you will get a menu with the following options:

The following configurations are available:
Tray icon –> Settings –> All Settings –> Anchors tab –> Scroll down until the styles section

Emphasize the most recent Anchors

Part of the idea of Anchors is to let you quickly find the most recent window you used before the switch.

The Alt + Tab menu achieves the same goal by sorting the windows from the most recent used to the less recent used – For example, if you have Window A, Window B, and Window C, and you first select Window C, then B and after that A – the Alt-Tab menu will show the window in the order: Window A (most recently used)-> Window B -> Window C

Anchors achieve this goal by sorting the floating icon using size by default.

In the case of anchors, Window A will get the biggest icon, Window B will get the middle-size icon and Window C will get the smallest icon.

By default, the size is calculated to the most 3 recently-used icons
The following table shows the calculation for these options :

	3 Anchors	4 Anchors	5 Anchors
Window A (Z-Order 0) (most recently used)	100% size	100% size	100% size
Window B (Z-Order 1)	66.6% size	75% size	80% size
Window C (Z-Order 2)	33.3% size	50% size	60% size
Window D (Z-Order 3)	33.3% size	25% size	40% size
Window E (Z-Order 4)	33.3% size	25% size	20% size
Window F (Z-Order 5)	33.3% size	25% size	20% size

100% is the maximum size of the icon and is configured via slider.
The default is 2x.

Emphasize by color

If you don’t want to “sort” by size, you have to “color” option

If this option is selected, the most recently used window (with the smallest Z-Order) will get an anchor (floating icon) in a different color that you can configure in
Because we set then in our case, only the first most recently used window (Z-Order 0) will get an icon with a different color.

If you change for example from 1 Anchors to 2 Anchors, then the first two most recently used windows (Window A with Z-Order 0 and Window B with Z-Order 1) will get an anchor with a different color.

Dynamic anchor opacity (Emphasize by opacity)

By default, the following configurations are enabled:

This is another way to “sort” the anchors – not only by size/color. But here also by opacity.

Given that we have 3 windows:

	Floating icon opacity
Window A (Z-Order 0) (most recently used)	100%
Window B (Z-Order 1)	66.6%
Window C (Z-Order 2)	33.3%

If we have 4 windows for example:

	Floating icon opacity
Window A (Z-Order 0) (most recently used)	100%
Window B (Z-Order 1)	75%
Window C (Z-Order 2)	50%
Window D (Z-Order 3)	25%

The opacity is divided by the number of anchors (floating icons) visible on the screen.

Anchor fallback color and style ()

Show window icon

Hide the window title and always show duplicate icons

Size configuration

By default, the maximum amount of floating icons (anchors) is unlimited.
You can configure limitation between 1 and 10 (or keep it unlimited).
The anchor’s amount is unlimited by default because we think it may be confusing if you do not see the anchor of a window (because there are more than 10). Proper usage of the feature is that you clean anchors of less-frequently-used windows from time to time using the mouse shortcuts right-click or middle-click (to close or minimize the window).

If you still want to set a limitation, read below

To configure the maximum amount, go to the Anchors tab (Tray icon –> Settings –> All Settings –> Anchors tab), and scroll down to the “Maximum anchors amount”

In the dropdown, select the desired amount limitation

No shortcut key is defined for the action to turn off/on the anchors.
Sometimes, you may need to turn it off temporarily, for example, when watching fullscreen content or while scrolling on a website with a lot of text (which may cause the floating icons (anchors) to jump…).

So, we suggest defining a shortcut key to turn it off temporarily when you don’t need it.

To configure the hotkey, go to the Anchors tab (Tray icon –> Settings –> All Settings –> Anchors tab), and scroll down to the “Toolbar and Hotkey settings”

To set the hotkey to show or hide all anchors, assign it to “Toggle: Anchors for all windows.”

In addition, there is a second hotkey to toggle the anchor for a specific window. To use it, assign it to “Toggle anchor for current window.”

By default, the floating icons’ preferred location is on the screen’s right side.

• Left Side
  • The floating icons will open on the left of the screen.
  • If auto-move is enabled, they will always try to go to the left (even at the cost of long distance to move on the screen)
• Right Side
  • The floating icon will open on the right side of the screen.
  • If auto-move is enabled, they will always try to go to the right (even at the cost of long-distance to move on the screen)
• Minimum Movement
  • The floating icons will open relative to the location of their windows
  • If auto-move is enabled, they will try to move the lowest possible distance to avoid covering content

To configure the preferred location, go to the Anchors tab (Tray icon –> Settings –> All Settings –> Anchors tab), and scroll down to the “Preferred location” settings

In the dropdown choose the option you want
