Below are samples of what you can do along with the settings used to achieve them. Feel free to experiment with different numbers. Generally speaking, the smaller the Step Size, the smoother the effect will be.

If you happen to come up with a setting that does something that is not listed here, please let us know so that we can verify them and add them to the list.

TIP The examples here don't require you to shut down each window that opens. Just click each example link and you'll see each example happen in the same window as the previous example. You may 'miss' the effects if you close each window down.

Sliding

Sliding is achieved by setting the Step Size to "0" (always use a Step Size of 0 when you do not want to resize the window) and the Window Offset to any numerical value. Note the effect negative values have in the Window Offset. Also note the effect of the Diag Switch when the Axis is X&Y.

Sliding & Stretching

Sliding & stretching is achieved by Setting a value greater than zero for the Step Size and always setting the Window Offset to at least 1 more than the Step Size, either positive or negative. Yes, a negative value could be less than the Step Size, but as long as the number itself is greater, the window will stretch in the direction of the slide while it is sliding.

Stretching

The sides of a window can be "stretched" left, right, up, down, left & right.... The key to stretching a window in both directions of an axis (or all directions if the axis is X&Y) is the relationship between the Step Size and the Window Offset. To stretch or expand a window evenly in more than one direction, the Step Size should be twice a negative Window Offset value.

Shrinking

To make a window shrink, always make the Step Size a negative number.

Jumping

To make a window jump to another position, always set the Loop Value to 1. If you use any other number, then the Window Offset will be applied more than once. Next, set the Step Size to 0. The Window Offset should contain the number of pixels you would like the window to move. Positive numbers move the window to the right and down and Negative numbers move the window left and up. Of course, the direction also depends on the Axis chosen.
