Hi everyone!

I use DisplayFusion Pro 5.1.1 and I wanted to use custom start orbs. But I noticed a positioning problem with the orb on the taskbars managed by DisplayFusion. On the second and third taskbar the new icon doesn't fit in the bar.
I provided two screenshots, one with the working icon on the primary taskbar and the non-fitting on the DisplayFusion taskbars.

I also tried some of the DF advanced settings, none of them fix the issue.
But: If I use a start orb with a non-transparent background all taskbars look perfect. So it is some issue in the position detection algorithm of DF because of transparent pixels?

I hope somebody can help me with this problem.

I used to have that problem when using Windowblinds 8 and Start 8 in combination. It was fixed (at least for me ) a couple of beta's ago.

@biosmanager: Could you link me to the program you use for customizing the Start Orb, and also attach the Start Orb that you used for the attached screenshots so that I can test it out here?

Thanks!

I'm also having the same issue at the moment with start orb positioning on the taskbar handled by display fusion.

So far I have tried two programs, both which did not work and made the display fusion orb touch the edge of the screen.

- Classic Shell
- Windows 7 Start Orb Changer

Attached is the screen shot of the orbs and the actual orb file

@Keith Lammers: For customizing the orb I used: I attached the used orbs. I also tried a few others. All these non-fitting orbs have transparent pixels around the orb in common.
If I use an orb with non-transparent pixels everything is fine.

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!

The beta version actually fixed the issue in question, but I seem to have run into another problem. Now when I press the display fusion start orb on my second monitor it actually brings up the start menu on the opposite monitor!

Could you try rebooting your machine if you haven't already? Some times the hooks don't reload properly during updates but a reboot should fix that up.

Please let me know if you still run into any trouble at all.

Thanks!
