DisplayFusion is an application that is always running in the background. To adjust any DisplayFusion settings, or use DisplayFusion to set your desktop wallpaper, just right-click the DisplayFusion icon in the system tray.
Windows will sometimes hide system tray icons. If you don’t see the icon, try expanding the system tray using the expansion arrow. Double-clicking the DisplayFusion icon brings you to the Desktop Wallpaper window. Right-clicking the DisplayFusion icon will bring up the DisplayFusion context menu with all of the different DisplayFusion options.
When you right-click the system tray icon, the DisplayFusion system tray context menu will appear.
Use these menu options to control the random wallpaper changer, if enabled.
- Go to Next Image: If the random wallpaper changer is in use, this will force it to load a new image.
- Freeze Current Images: If the random wallpaper changer is in use, this will force it to pause.
If you right-click on a DisplayFusion Taskbar, you can adjust the size, position and auto-hide settings for that Taskbar. If you right-click on the DisplayFusion system tray icon you can enable and disable the Taskbar feature for all monitors.
Clicking this menu option will toggle the Multi-Monitor Taskbar feature on and off for all monitors. If you would only like to toggle a Taskbar on/off for a specific monitor just right-click the Taskbar on that monitor and select "Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Position > Disabled". To re-enable that Taskbar, open the DisplayFusion Settings window, click the Taskbar tab and click the "Reset All Taskbars" button.
The Taskbar Size menu allows you to change the size of the Taskbar. By default it will be the same size as the Windows Taskbar, but you can set any custom value you need.
- Automatic: Automatically size the DisplayFusion Taskbar to the same size as the Windows Taskbar.
- Custom Size: Allows you to specify the new Taskbar size in pixels.
This window allows you to specify a custom value for the Taskbar's size.
- Taskbar Size: (pixels): This is the value in pixels for the new taskbar size.
The Taskbar Position menu allows you to change which edge of the monitor the Taskbar is located. You can also disable the Taskbar for a specific monitor from here as well.
- Automatic: Sets the currently selected Taskbar's position to 'Automatic', which means it will be in the same position as the Windows Taskbar.
- Left: Sets the currently selected Taskbar's position to the left side of the monitor.
- Right: Sets the currently selected Taskbar's position to the right side of the monitor.
- Top: Sets the currently selected Taskbar's position to the top side of the monitor.
- Bottom: Sets the currently selected Taskbar's position to the bottom side of the monitor.
Clicking this menu option will toggle the selected Taskbar's auto-hide setting. Setting the Taskbar to auto-hide will cause it to be hidden when the mouse isn't hovering over it. This takes up considerably less space on the screen, allowing your application windows to be larger.
- Auto-Hide: Toggles Auto-Hiding for the currently selected Taskbar.
