• Advanced Hover Navigation System™:
  This is an advanced hover window; it takes the idea behind the popup tool tip to a whole new level. You hover on a word or reference in your window, the mouse arrow becomes a hand, and you click; this will open the hover window with immediate access to any pre-selected cross-references, commentaries, lexicon definitions, context and more for the current selection. The hover window allows all the most powerful Bible study aids to be literally at your fingertips without taking up screen space till you need them. Once the mouse is moved away from this popup window, it disappears.
  - Benefits:
  1. Avoid unnecessary window clutter.
  2. Don't lose your place in your main windows.
  3. Save time and trouble typing and digging through menus.
  4. At any time "thumbtack" the hover window in order to convert it into a permanent window.
  5. When the mouse leaves the hover window, the window disappears automatically.
  6. Each hover window is a full-fledged Bible window, allowing the user to scroll through the entire Bible.
  7. Hover windows are resizeable, moveable, pinable, and can even be converted to normal windows.
