X410 now natively supports the new UI found in IntelliJ IDEA as well as other products from JetBrains. No more Windows title bar and buttons!
We have revamped the window management in Windowed Apps mode, and it now behaves more like the modern window managers in Linux GUI environments. For example, popup dialog windows are now always placed above the normal windows even if they do not have a parent window. Those popup dialog windows are also automatically added to the Windows taskbar for easier access.
Some legacy Java-based Linux GUI apps might have problems properly detecting the new window management module in X410 and show erratic behavior or rendering issues. In such case, please tell us about the app; we will definitely look into it and have it fixed as soon as possible. Meanwhile, please try updating the app to its most recent version. You can also try setting the following environment variable before starting your app.
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1X410 now shows a more detailed taskbar icon for additional Linux GUI apps running in Windowed Apps mode.
NOW 
BEFORE VERSION 3.7.0 X410 Windowed Apps mode now natively supports the new UI found in the recent versions of products from JetBrains (ex. IntelliJ IDEA), no more Windows title bar and buttons!
JetBrains added more hurdles to block WSL and SSH X11 forwarding users from enjoying the new UI. Please read the following post if you are interested in workarounds for using the new UI with X410.
Enabling the new UI in IntelliJ IDEA running on WSL or over SSH X11 forwardingNOW BEFORE VERSION 3.7.0 X410 now shows the Windows native title bar according to the Windows light and dark app color theme setting.
Please note that this new feature does not change the color theme of the Linux GUI apps themselves. If you want to change the color theme for your Linux GUI apps, you need to check the available settings and options for each of them (ex. built-in color settings in each app, installing additional theme packages etc.).
For your information, some Linux GUI apps support centralized color theme settings and you just need to change those main settings. For example, if you have set up an Ubuntu desktop environment like the one outlined in our post, you should be able to set the color theme for all GTK based apps (ex. LibreOffice) simply by changing the Appearance options in Ubuntu Settings (you can access it by executing
gnome-control-center) as shown in the following screenshot.
CTRL+ALT+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5 can now be used for activating or deactivating X410 in Floating Desktop mode. CTRL+ALT+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5 correspond to the display number 0 through 4 respectively assigned to X410. Please note that these new keyboard shortcuts are available system wide. Hence, you can easily go back to X410 while working on other apps. When you are already interacting with X410, pressing the new keyboard shortcut pushes back X410 to the bottom and activates the first window that was below X410.
SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE can now be used for always keeping X410 Floating Desktop on the bottommost. Pressing SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE again while X410 Floating Desktop is active ends this bottommost behavior.
Starting from version 3.6.0, you can now purchase a subscription for X410 from Microsoft Store!
This release mainly focuses on implementing modules for the new subscription-based version of X410. There are only minor bug fixes for the core features.
As announced in our other post, X410 will only be available as a subscription in Microsoft Store. Unlike the previously available one-time purchase option, you should be able to find the new X410 subscription more approachable and manageable since it only requires minimal upfront payment and you can easily cancel or renew it via your Microsoft account. It also provides more consistent user experience and convenience as you will always get the most recent version of X410 automatically without any additional upgrading fee or switching to a different app package.
If you want to buy a perpetual licensing (one-time purchase) version instead of the new subscription-based, please consider purchasing the Standalone version directly from our website. Unlike the Microsoft Store version, the Standalone version does not require a Microsoft account and its license can be activated without the Internet.
X410 is now available only as a subscription in Microsoft Store
We have updated our app listing in Microsoft Store and X410 is now offered only as a monthly or yearly subscription starting from version 3.6.0. There are no changes for the Standalone version of X410 except for its pricing; it's adjusted to reflect the new subscription offerings.
| X410 Subscription Plans | |
| Paid monthly | USD $3.99 per month |
| Paid yearly | USD $39.99 per year (2 months free) |
When you first install the subscription-based X410, it runs as a fully functional 7-days trial version. Hence, please feel free to test drive X410 and see if it meets your needs. For purchasing a subscription, you can simply click the Subscription menu in X410 and follow the instruction. Your subscription to X410 is processed by Microsoft and you can manage or cancel it through your Microsoft account webpage.

The new subscription-based version of X410 is released as a separate product in Microsoft Store. Hence, if you already purchased X410 via the store, you should be able to continue using it without any interruption. We will also continue updating it exactly the same as the subscription-based version. However, starting from version 4, new features and updates will be only available to the subscription-based version.
Please also note that you will no longer be able to search or make a new purchase for the previously available non-subscription-based version in Microsoft Store. Hence, when you want to reinstall your previously purchased version, please use your Library section in Microsoft Store app; it's listed as 'X410 (Version 3)'. When listing your apps, please make sure to uncheck the 'Show installed products only' option for the 'Sort and filter' setting.
If you want to buy a perpetual license (one-time purchase) instead of a monthly or yearly subscription, please purchase the Standalone version of X410 directly from our website. The following post summarizes the differences between the two versions.

Shared clipboard weirdly stopped working? Update your X410 to the new version 3.5.1!
If you had experienced X410 becoming unresponsive after switching its server mode from Floating Desktop to Windowed Apps or vice versa, you should no longer see such problems in the new version.
A bug that prevented copying data from Linux GUI apps to Windows after changing the server mode or X410 is simply restarted via its menu is now fixed.
X410 should no longer randomly become unresponsive immediately after launching it (ex. enabling X410 via the Startup tab in Windows Task Manager).
X410 version 3.5.0 makes Linux GUI apps more indistinguishable from Windows apps
More visual effects and behavior enhancements are added for Linux GUI apps running in Windowed Apps mode. For example, you are now less likely to see the initial black background when you launch a Linux GUI app. Thick black border around popup menus in some apps should also no longer be visible.
NOWBEFORE VERSION 3.5.0
Popup menus in Linux GUI apps are now closed as expected when you change the input focus to a Windows app in Windowed Apps mode.
Fixed incorrect drag position within some GUI apps while performing a drag-and-drop operation in Windowed Apps mode.
Improved handling buggy Linux GUI apps that constantly generate redundant random events. Such apps should now be more responsive to mouse and keyboard input.
