Most options are implemented in the Options Menu described below. There is currently no installation for Vern 3.1. Just unzip all the files into a single directory and run vern31.exe. This version incorporates several changes that should greatly reduce the amount of memory allocated and freed by the program. It also is less obtrusive in general.
Some work remains to be done on window locks, especially when locking by part of the window title.
Try to encourage developers to use identifiable class names if this causes problems. Just drag the selector to any screen edge to dock it there. To prevent Vern from hiding set the Hide Delay , in the Options tab of the properties dialog, to zero. Locks are less enforced now. The lock only ensures that a window can be repositioned to a specific cell when it starts up.
