When this setting is set to 1, the Vladstudio image provider will not allow any users on the machine to load single images from Vladstudio. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

When this registry value is set (in HKLM) with a valid license key, this key overrides any value the user enters. You can use this setting to easily deploy and enforce license keys on many machines when you have a site license key. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

Enable this setting in conjunction with "Debug Logging" to provide more detailed debug logs. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting is used to disable the global application hooks. This setting should rarely be used, as many DisplayFusion features depend on it. Only disable the application hooks if you are running into compatibility issues and you are troubleshooting. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

When this setting is set to a value of 1, DisplayFusion will not add an icon to the system tray. You can access the DisplayFusion features via the Start Menu or desktop context menu items (if enabled). DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

Enabling this setting will cause DisplayFusion to ignore all fullscreen windows. Any settings that depend on fullscreen window detection (like the "Pause wallpaper changes when fullscreen window detected" setting) won't work anymore. This setting is useful if you have an application that detects as fullscreen and is causing issues for you.

This setting is used to force DisplayFusion to stop trimming memory, and let DisplayFusion use as much memory as it wants for caching, image loading... etc. This setting should only be disabled when you are trying to troubleshoot lockup/freezing issues. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting is used to force DisplayFusion to treat your monitors in a specific order when using the "Move to Next Monitor" or "Move to Previous Monitor" HotKeys. By default, DisplayFusion will auto-detect the arrangement, but in certain situations it may be beneficial to manually specify the order. Just use a comma separated list of your monitor ID's (ex: "2, 4, 3, 1"). DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting is used to control the horizontal size of the Mouse Lock region when locking to a Monitor. Specify a negative number to shrink the lock area, or a positive number to expand the lock area.

This setting is used to control the vertical size of the Mouse Lock region when locking to a Monitor. Specify a negative number to shrink the lock area, or a positive number to expand the lock area.

This setting is used to control the horizontal size of the Mouse Lock region when locking to a Window. Specify a negative number to shrink the lock area, or a positive number to expand the lock area.

This setting is used to control the vertical size of the Mouse Lock region when locking to a Window. Specify a negative number to shrink the lock area, or a positive number to expand the lock area.

When this setting is set to 0, DisplayFusion will pause the global hooks when it detects a fullscreen application. Using this override can have negative results, so it is highly recommended that you use the setting in the Compatibility tab instead to control this on a per-application basis. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting is used to force DisplayFusion to run on a single CPU core. This setting is only recommended when trying to troubleshoot an issue. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

The setting forces DisplayFusion to run as a high priority process, instead of normal priority. This will cause the system to give DisplayFusion a higher priority and may help with performance issues on some systems. If both the low and high priority advanced settings are set, the high priority setting will override the low priority setting. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

The setting forces DisplayFusion to run as a low priority process, instead of normal priority. This will cause the system to give DisplayFusion less CPU time and will free up more CPU time for other applications running on the system. If both the low and high priority advanced settings are set, the high priority setting will override the low priority setting. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

When this setting is enabled it will show a MessageBox with any language file errors for easy troubleshooting. This setting is for people who are working on language file translations. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

When this setting is enabled, DisplayFusion won't give any special treatment to top-tab browser windows, like Firefox and Chrome. THis means that you'll be able to use DisplayFusion's middle-click move on the window, but it also means this may cause problems. Only enable this setting if you are using an older version of the browsers that don't have top-tabs.

This setting prevents DisplayFusion from showing the "Confirm" or "Revert" prompt after applying a new Monitor Configuration or loading a Monitor Profile. Enabling this setting is NOT recommended. If you set an invalid monitor configuration while this setting is enabled you will need to reboot to correct it.

This setting forces DisplayFusion to always show the window title text when using the Windows 7-style taskbar thumbnail previews. By default, the title text is hidden when grouping is disabled and the style is set to "Icons and Text".

This setting disables the taskbar auto-hide animations.

This setting toggles the little dragging arrows that appear when dragging a DisplayFusion Taskbar button.

This is a per-Taskbar setting, so create the key with the number of the Taskbar you want to set. For example, for the Taskbar on monitor #2, create a key called "Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Taskbars\2\ClockSize" and set the value to "100" for 100 pixels. This setting will only be applied to the DisplayFusion taskbars, not the standard Windows taskbar. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting overrides the default clock text, which is the same as the Windows Clock text. If you are unfamiliar with the .NET datetime string formatting codes, you can use this guide (look at the "Dates" section):
String Formatting in C#

You can also use some custom formatting strings:
Line Break:
Use \n to insert a line break and start a new line.

Show Week Number:
Use [Wxy] to show the current week number, filling in the "x" and "y" placeholders with this:

Replace the "x" with:
0: The first week of the year starts on the first day of the year and ends before the following designated first day of the week.
1: The first week of the year begins on the first occurrence of the designated first day of the week on or after the first day of the year.
2: The first week of the year is the first week with four or more days before the designated first day of the week.

Replace the "y" with:
0: Sunday, 1: Monday, 2: Tuesday, 3: Wednesday, 4: Thursday, 5: Friday, 6: Saturday

Examples:
[W01] to show the week number where the week begins January 1st
[W10] to show the week number where the week begins on a Sunday.
[W13] to show the week number where the week begins on a Wednesday.
[W22] to show the week number where the first week has 4 or more days before Tuesday.
[W24] to show the week number where the first week has 4 or more days before Thursday.

This setting overrides the default tracking colours used when highlighting a taskbar button in Windows 7. Specify an RGB value using comma separated values. Ex: "255, 0, 0" is red, "0, 0, 255" is blue. Each integer value can range from 0-255 to create any colour. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting forces DisplayFusion to draw the Taskbars using the Windows Classic style instead of the current theme. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting causes the taskbar button in the DisplayFusion taskbar to keep blinking until the window receives focus (when it requires attention). DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting forces DisplayFusion to create a taskbar on all monitors, even the monitor that has the Windows taskbar. This setting is used primarily for testing.

This setting overrides the auto-detected taskbar button gap size (the distance between the DisplayFusion taskbar buttons). DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting is used to enable or disable the taskbar preview thumbnail's animation.

This setting is used to set a delay before the taskbar preview thumbnails are shown. The value is in milliseconds: 1000ms = 1 second.

This setting forces the DisplayFusion thumbnail window previews to be a specific size. This value sets the maximum width or height. For example, a value of 300 will force the preview window to be no bigger than 300x300, while maintaining the aspect ratio of the window.

This setting controls whether DisplayFusion shows a tooltip for each taskbar thumbnail preview item.

When this setting is set to 1 (disabled) DisplayFusion will ignore the Windows Key presses and won't try to open the Start Menu on the DisplayFusion Taskbars.

You can use this setting to force DisplayFusion to use a specific image for the TitleBar Button background images. You need to specify the full page to the image (ex: "C:\images\mybuttons.png"). The image must contain 5 button images vertically stacked. You can use this TitleBar Button background template to get you started. Alternatively, you can just specify the word "classic" instead of a filename to force DisplayFusion to use the Windows classic mode buttons, instead of trying to auto-detect your theme's images. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting will prevent DisplayFusion from hiding the TitleBar Buttons when there isn't enough room at the top of a Chrome or Firefox 4 window.

This setting will force DisplayFusion to not use the special TitleBar Button positioning functions available when using Windows Aero. If you are using font scaling and you notice that your TitleBar Buttons are positioned too far to the left, just set this setting to a value of "1" and restart DisplayFusion. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting forces DisplayFusion to draw the TitleBar Buttons using the Windows Classic style instead of the current theme. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

You can use this setting to manually adjust the horizontal offset of the TitleBar Buttons. A value of -20 will shift the buttons to the left 20 pixels, and a value of 20 will shift the buttons to the right 20 pixels. You can use any value you want between -250 and 250. The per-application Compatibility setting in DisplayFusion takes precedence over this global setting.

Use this setting to force DisplayFusion not to add TitleBar Buttons to windows with a width lower than the value specified.

This setting controls whether the TitleBar Button ToolTips contain extra debug information. This is useful for troubleshooting rogue TitleBar Buttons that don't appear to belong to a window.

You can use this settting to prevent DisplayFusion from shrinking the TitleBar Buttons when the window is too small. Set this value to 1 to prevent shrinking and have DisplayFusion hide the TitleBar Buttons instead.

You can use this setting to manually adjust the vertical offset of the TitleBar Buttons. A value of -20 will shift the buttons up 20 pixels, and a value of 20 will shift the buttons down 20 pixels. You can use any value you want between -250 and 250. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

Use this setting to manually control where DisplayFusion puts it's temporary, generated wallpaper files. It is recommended to leave this setting unchanged, but if you are in a corporate environment with roaming profiles (for example) changing this setting can save some space in your profile. The folder specified here will be automatically created if it doesn't exist. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

If you would like to run a program after each wallpaper change, you can use this registry key to do that. Set the WallpaperRunAfterProgram value to the program you'd like to run, and you can optionally set the WallpaperRunAfterParams to any parameters you want to pass to the program. You can use the $FILE$ variable to pass the generated wallpaper filename to the parameters.

Example #1:
WallpaperRunAfterProgram: C:\BGInfo\bginfo.exe
WallpaperRunAfterParams: "C:\BGInfo\settings.bgi" /timer:0
This example will run the BGInfo application after each wallpaper change, using the BGInfo settings saved in the "settings.bgi" file.

Example #2:
WallpaperRunAfterProgram: C:\MyProgram\myprogram.exe
WallpaperRunAfterParams: /FILE:"$FILE$" /otheroptions
This example will run your custom application that you are using to post-process the generated wallpaper image. The generated wallpaper image path will be passed through the $FILE$ variable.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you disable the "Fix my wallpaper automatically" setting, or else DisplayFusion will constantly try to fix the new wallpaper. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

Use this setting to force DisplayFusion to show a confirmation prompt when applying new Wallpaper settings. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

Use this setting to manually control the amount of time in seconds to wait before changing the wallpaper after DisplayFusion starts-up. The default is 30 seconds, but if your system takes longer to fully start-up, or you want to wait for a few minutes after start-up, just specify a larger value here. DisplayFusion must be restarted for this setting to take effect.

This setting forces DisplayFusion to use an alternate window move method that doesn't cause any window animation. The move is instant (with no animation), but unfortunately isn't compatible with all applications. Please use this setting at your own risk, and if any application windows fail to move correctly disable this setting.
