Hello,
I have tried installing a few well-known 3rd party screensavers. They work fine if I use windows to manage the screensaver (It only shows on one monitor though), but If I try to enable them through displayfusion (to have different screensavers per monitor) they either show just a black screen, or are at a really tiny resolution in the upper left hand corner.

If I use the default windows screensaver in displayfusion, and select a different one for each monitor and hit preview/let it sleep, it works perfectly fine then, but anytime I add a new screensaver, displayfusion just does not work with them entirely.

The screensavers I have installed are from reputable authors and sources, so I am strongly convinced that there is nothing wrong with these screensavers (Plus they work with the windows default screensaver manager).

Would anyone know what is the issue with displayfusion using them? I can post diagnostics logs and files if requested, I am not sure what would be needed though. I am on Windows 7 and displayfusion says it is up to date right now.

It's likely that the screen savers don't support the preview mode call correctly, which is required in order to call the screen saver to run over a specific size (single monitor, or spanning monitors, rather than just the size of the Primary monitor). We have a write-up on how to handle it correctly, but it's something that the screen saver developers would need to implement. The article is here, if you wanted to forward it to them: http://www.displayfusion.com/KB/ScreenSaverDevelopment

Thanks!
