DisplayFusion 4.0 Now Available!

Return to News
May 2, 2012

We're very happy to announce that DisplayFusion 4.0 is now available for download!


This version includes a bunch of great new features. Taskbars now include tray icons, and an optional, alternate Classic style Start Menu. The alternate Start Menu is a great option for anyone who wants Start Menu functionality in Windows 8. Google Image Search, Bing Image Search, and deviantART have been added to the Online Wallpaper Providers. Desktop Icon Profiles allow you to save and restore your favourite Desktop icon layouts. Aero Colour Settings allow DisplayFusion to set the Aero Colour based on either the dominant colour of the current wallpaper, or the current application's icon (Windows 7 and Windows 8 only).


Here are the most notable changes for DisplayFusion 4.0:


  • Windows 8 Consumer Preview Support
  • Optional alternate Start Menu for DisplayFusion Taskbars
  • DisplayFusion Taskbars now contain tray icons
  • DisplayFusion Taskbars now use basic Jump Lists when right-clicking Taskbar buttons
  • HotKeys can be run from the basic Jump Lists on the DisplayFusion Taskbars
  • Added Google Image Search, Bing Image Search, and deviantART to Online Wallpaper Providers
  • Desktop Icon Profiles
  • Aero Colour can now be set by DisplayFusion based on the current wallpaper or current application
  • HotKey editor now has a window picker for easier setup of custom HotKeys
  • Added a basic built-in DisplayFusion Photos Screen Saver
  • Revamped silent installer allowing for better customization of silent deployments (new requirements for deploying via Group Policy)
  • ADMX Group Policy templates for centralized control in Active Directory environments
  • UI now properly supports right-to-left languages
  • 23 languages bundled
  • New DisplayFusion logo and icon
  • Tons of bug fixes and performance/stability improvements

We're still hoping to finish up the translations for Catalan, Finnish, Galician, Japanese, Latvian, Norwegian, Slovak, and Slovenian. If you're interested in helping out with the translations, please contact us.


We encourage everyone to update to this new version today to take advantage of these improvements. If you've already purchased DisplayFusion, it's a lifetime license, so you can upgrade to this version at no cost! If you would like to see a complete list of all the changes, please visit the DisplayFusion Change Log. We'd like to send out a big thanks to the dozens of people who helped with the DisplayFusion translations, and the thousands of people that helped test the Beta versions. Thanks everyone!

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to setup 2 different time zones clock with DisplayFusion on a dual-monitor system (Windows 7 32bit). I would like to setup an Eastern Time Zone clock on one monitor and a different Time Zone on the other monitor.
Please let me know if this is duable.
Thanks,
Bogdan

Great idea @Bogdan for two time zones - please may I second that? Thanks @Keith.
I updated as soon as I heard and must say that I like it a lot. It seems faster I think?

Hi!

Thanks for a great product! Is it possible to hide the tray icons from the taskbar of the second monitor? For me, it's enough to see tray icons on the primary monitor and they just take space from the application tabs in the second task bar.

@Kai: You certainly can! Just right-click the taskbar and navigate to Multi-Monitor Taskbar System Tray Show/Hide Icons.
