Preview pics and move to maximize

Hi

Is there a way to get rid of those small preview images that
show just above the processline when the mouse hover over a
button there ?

And can I stop windows from maximizing when they are dragged
to the top of the screen ?

Thanks in advance
Best regards

Quite welcome, as you saw from the list you got the Help is fairly
extensive.

If you are referring to the Thumbnails that appear when you hover over
the button in the taskbar for open Windows, then you want to open System
Properties, Advanced tab, Performance Settings button, and UNcheck the
very last option in the list "Use visual styles on windows and buttons".
That will reduce it to a text flyout identifying which open window the
button/icon is active for.

Those pirated videos play pretty well on that Ubuntu.

Who copied from whom again? Aston Shell had this for about 10 years now.
And Aston only runs under Windows.

You can configure it many different ways. And there are lots of other
Aston Shell videos on youtube as well.

The problem with Linux of course, is that it only runs Linux software.
And there are no Linux software out there that I actually like. Not a
single one! So having Linux and no applications doesn't help much, now
does it? As I am not interested in staring at a desktop all day. ;-)
