They can then restore the window by double-clicking the icon. It's not for everyone obviously, but it's there for folks that wan to use it. The Rollup Window to Hat function is just a silly play on the Rollup Window to Icon functionality. ]]> RE: What does "Rollup Window to Hat" mean? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/what-does-rollup-window-to-hat-mean/?ID=017a5342-3db1-4106-b68f-4803edca0da2#3 Sun, 08 Jul 2018 20:42:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/what-does-rollup-window-to-hat-mean/?ID=017a5342-3db1-4106-b68f-4803edca0da2#3 DisplayFusion

Hah! It was sort of an "easter egg" feature that we added way back when we released DisplayFusion on Steam. It just adds a function to the list on the Settings > Functions tab. When you run it on a window the window hides and there's a hat icon in its place. Double-clicking the hat restores the window. It's like the Rollup Window to Icon function but with a hat instead :)


This reply is not helpful because you do not explain the purpose of the feature (which is not evident from your description of the function). Why would someone want to displace a window with a hat instead of minimizing the window? ]]> RE: What does "Rollup Window to Hat" mean? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/what-does-rollup-window-to-hat-mean/?ID=017a5342-3db1-4106-b68f-4803edca0da2#2 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 15:26:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/what-does-rollup-window-to-hat-mean/?ID=017a5342-3db1-4106-b68f-4803edca0da2#2 DisplayFusion Hah!
