When using a dual moniitor setup and DF 5.1, when clicking the left hand monitor "Aero Peek" button (on the 'actual' Windows 7 taskbar) all open windows minimise.
When clicking the right hand monitor "Aero Peek" button (on the 'Display Fusion' taskbar) only the open windows on the left monitor minimise, not the right hand monitor
Is there a setting to enable this or can this feature be added?
@Rob113: That's definitely not supposed to happen . Which Taskbar Mode do you have selected on the Settings > Taskbar tab?
"All Taskbars show relevant windows"
I have just updated to 5.1.1 BEta 2 and the same happens (ie the second monitor "Show Desktop" does nothing and the original Show Desktop (on the 'proper' Win7 taskbar only minimises theat screen's windows.
There is an incompatibility, and the workaround is to make sure that Fences launches after DisplayFusion. It has to do with the hook chain and integrity levels (I can provide more technical details if you like). There's a utility called Startup Delayer (link below) that allows you to set the order the programs startup, so that should help work around the issue

Ok, my bad. Even though Startup Delayer showed an entry for Fences, that doesn't appear to be what's actually launching Fences. It looks like Fences is just a DLL loaded into explorer.exe via a Shell Extension.
So, unfortunately you won't be able to delay Fences so that it starts after DisplayFusion, sorry for the wild goose chase
We have an idea on how this issue could be resolved, but we'd need to work with the Stardock devs as it would require changes to their code as well. I'll post an update if we're able to work something out with them!

Hi Keith,
Any update on this issue? Through a bit more testing, it seems that Win+M minimises BOTH screens. Is there any way to use this feature or provide an option to mimic Win+m on mouseover/click?
@Rob: Ok, it doesn't look like using Win + M as a work around will be reliable, but I've just tested this issue out again with Fences 2.12 and DF 6.0 Beta 5, and I can't reproduce it any more. Are you still having the issue of only the applications on the Primary monitor hiding when clicking Show Desktop with Fences 2.12 and DF 6.0 Beta 5?
