Window is another great feature in Total launcher.
Briefly to say, it is a "pop-up (floating) page". You can pop it up on anywhere of the screen by a shortcut or a gesture. It is able to be open even from another app supporting launch a shortcut. To do this, just create a window and customize it in the same manner as the page. Please watch the following video to know how to create, position, resize and customize a window.

To change the position or size of the window, long-press on empty area of the window or press the edit button
on the top of the screen.
There are a lot of options for a window. These options are able to be accessed with the options button
on the bottom-left of the screen while the window is in resize mode.
