I've added a feature request to prevent the auto hidden taskbar from being revealed as well.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Move taskbar, notifications and windows between monitors seamlessly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-taskbar-notifications-and-windows-between-monitors-seamlessly/?ID=0199696f-73a6-72d9-a829-1ba7776886a4#5 Sat, 27 Sep 2025 01:13:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-taskbar-notifications-and-windows-between-monitors-seamlessly/?ID=0199696f-73a6-72d9-a829-1ba7776886a4#5 DisplayFusion

You could create a trigger that uses the "Window Focused" event, but it will fire everytime the window is re-focused, not just when it opens from the taskbar. It will likely cause some unwanted side effects.

You could also just attach a hotkey to the "Move window to current monitor" function, and run it whenever you want to bring a window over.

I think using the Jump List to "Move Window to next Monitor" works well for me, thank you. Is there a way to get the DisplayFusion taskbar on my primary display as well so I have access to the Jump List there too, or does that have to be the default Windows taskbar?

Also, when I enable Auto-Hide on my secondary display taskbar, it tends to unhide by itself when I get a notification on Discord. Is there a way to prevent it from doing that so it only shows when I move my cursor to the bottom of the display? ]]> RE: Move taskbar, notifications and windows between monitors seamlessly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-taskbar-notifications-and-windows-between-monitors-seamlessly/?ID=0199696f-73a6-72d9-a829-1ba7776886a4#4 Wed, 24 Sep 2025 13:28:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-taskbar-notifications-and-windows-between-monitors-seamlessly/?ID=0199696f-73a6-72d9-a829-1ba7776886a4#4 DisplayFusion You could create a trigger that uses the "Window Focused" event, but it will fire everytime the window is re-focused, not just when it opens from the taskbar.

Hello,

1. When you pin items to DisplayFusion taskbars, you can turn on the "Force application to start on same monitor as taskbar" and it will do that for you.

2. You can create triggers for specific apps which will override the setting from point 1. We have a guide on creating triggers here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/Triggers/

Our Monitor Fading feature might do what you're looking for. Guide on that here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Help/#settings-monitorfading

3. You can set your taskbar mode to show all windows on all taskbars. We don't support moving windows between monitors based on which taskbar it was focused from though.


Thank you, I'll try my hand at triggers even if they're a little difficult to wrap my head around. As for number 3, is there no way to work around it with windows profiles, functions and triggers? Or could you create a Jump List shortcut for it somehow? ]]> RE: Move taskbar, notifications and windows between monitors seamlessly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-taskbar-notifications-and-windows-between-monitors-seamlessly/?ID=0199696f-73a6-72d9-a829-1ba7776886a4#2 Mon, 22 Sep 2025 17:20:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-taskbar-notifications-and-windows-between-monitors-seamlessly/?ID=0199696f-73a6-72d9-a829-1ba7776886a4#2 DisplayFusion Hello,

I think my ideal scenario would be the following:

As a general rule, I want for applications to open on the display the mouse cursor was on when they were opened; if I open them on my secondary display, I want them to open on my secondary display, and vice versa. However, I'd like to be able to create exceptions for this rule. For example, I'd like Spotify and Discord to always open on my secondary display, also when they're clicked from my primary display.

I want my secondary display to be where desktop notifications show up. Generally, I want my secondary display to go into a lockscreen and/or fade when my cursor isn't on it, and automatically go back out of the lockscreen/light back up when I move my cursor back on it, or light up when I receive a desktop notification so I can read it. I'm essentially imagining it functioning similarly to a phone or tablet automatically "locking" or "going idle" when I move my cursor away, and automatically "unlocking" when I move it back or receive a notification.
However, I'd also want some kind of toggle to prevent my secondary display from going into a lockscreen or fading, so when I'm playing a game on my primary display, I can still have Discord or a browser tab showing on my secondary display. I hope that makes sense.

I also want my secondary display to have an auto-hiding taskbar with a minimal kind of layout, but I want the windows and pins to mimic my primary taskbar, so if I for example have a Firefox window open on my primary display and then click it on the taskbar on my secondary display, it will automatically move it from my primary display to my secondary display, automatically resizing to fit, and vice versa if I then click it on my primary taskbar. By default, it'll just minimize/maximize the window on the display it's on, no matter which taskbar I'm clicking. Just as with the application launch behavior, I'd like to be able to create exceptions for this rule; I'd like Spotify and Discord to retain the default behavior.

I apologize for the lengthy text. Thank you if you read this far. Does it sound like the above is something that would be attainable with DisplayFusion? ]]>
