Is there nothing that can be done to prevent this behaviour? I'm not familiar with this type of development, so this is a genuine question. ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#20 Mon, 22 Dec 2025 18:12:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#20 DisplayFusion Glad to hear that's fixed up.

The monitor fading is just an overlay. Clicks will still be registered on windows on the faded monitor, that is expected. ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#19 Sat, 20 Dec 2025 21:18:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#19 DisplayFusion Just installed 12.0.1. The fading issue I reported in #16 has been fixed.

The last thing that is an issue is that the mouse clicks are still clicking through the fading box (from post #14). I've attached a video of this issue.

In the first part, I'm showing that the cursor changes to the hand when hovering over one of the grey boxes, and I show what click on the grey box does. In the second part, I show that when the monitor is faded, I can still click through and the click is registered in my browser.

This is not specific to the browser.

By the way, thanks for fixing this. I use this particular function every day! ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#18 Fri, 19 Dec 2025 22:14:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#18 DisplayFusion @DepressedOptimist: We've just released DisplayFusion 12.0.1 and the issue from your video in post #16 should be fixed up.

@LucasFrance Are you able to send a video of your issue as well? Could you send a screenshot of your monitor fading settings? ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#16 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:38:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#16 DisplayFusion This is on Win 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.7462) using the newly installed DisplayFusion Pro 12 (Steam).

Here is a short video demonstrating the issue. Note that when the cursor is above the ChatGPT window on the second monitor, there is a click that isn't registered when I click there. ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#15 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 13:47:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#15 DisplayFusion @DepressedOptimist Can you send me a video of the issue?

Are you on Windows 10 as well? ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#14 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 22:08:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#14 DisplayFusion I just intalled Beta 10. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue with clicking the background on the main monitor. When I do that, the fading remains as designed.

I was, however, able to reproduce what I reported in message #7 regarding clicking apps that are open on the faded monitor. When the cursor hovers over the app where the app changes the cursor, it still does that when fading is on. Plus, if I click, the app comes to the foreground. Also, the click is registered in the app.

For example, if I've got a browser open on that monitor, if I click on the faded screen where there is a link in the browser, the browser follows the link.

I also just noticed that if I click on the faded monitor in an area where there is no app, the fading disappears. Once I click on another app in the main monitor, it comes back.

Are there any logs I can send you when I reproduce the issue? ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#13 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 22:08:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#13 DisplayFusion My previous post was on Win11 25H2.

On Win10 last update, the Monitor fading doesn't work properly if there is no window open, just background... By clicking on the screen background the fading effect doesn't change. ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#12 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 21:12:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#12 DisplayFusion Thanks for the follow up and this new update.

apps in the faded monitor are clickable and are drawn on top of the black background. I also see the cursor change where it would without the function.

What I meant by this is the clickable layer of an app is clickable. So if I click somewhere on the faded screen, the app will react the same as if I could see it. The app itself is not drawn on top of the black background, only the clickable layer is.

Which fading mode are you using?

Now, I'm only using the setting under the Monitor Fading tab. ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#9 Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:24:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#9 DisplayFusion I'm using the fading from the main menu : "Monitor fading" with all default values. ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#8 Fri, 12 Dec 2025 13:58:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#8 DisplayFusion Which fading mode are you using? ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#7 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 17:49:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#7 DisplayFusion

Update on beta 9 :

- If I click on an app window on the main monitor and then click on the background on the second monitor => the fading on the second monitor stop => OK

- If I click on the background on the main monitor and then click on the background on the second monitor => the fadings doesnt stop => Not OK


I can confirm this as well, plus, apps in the faded monitor are clickable and are drawn on top of the black background. I also see the cursor change where it would without the function.

I also just noticed that the function (under the functions tab) and the feature (under the Monitor Fading tab) are linked (when I change the hotkey on one, it changes it on the other one); is that new? ]]> RE: Beta 8 regression / Monitor Fading https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#6 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 16:11:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-8-regression-monitor-fading/?ID=019aec02-0307-72bc-ae26-3838ef169513#6 DisplayFusion Update on beta 9 :
