Thanks for sending that over.

1. We try to mimic the Windows taskbar as best we can, and it doesn't fully auto hide either. This isn't something we would likely change

2. Are you using another application to hide the Windows taskbar, like taskbar magic?

3. Yeah there isn't really a way around that. You could add a hotkey to the "Toggle multi-monitor taskbar" function, and toggle it before/after you take a snippit

5. Is there a specific app you're having trouble with that I can test here?

Hey Owen, thanks for getting back to me!

Re 3 I've attached a video of the taskbar issue with lightshot, but not of the taskbar showing up on borderless fullscreen applications as I'm assuming that's what you were enquiring about. When the touchbar gets up I can't click it down to set the box down in the intended screenshotting position. Also attaching the debug zip (removed some parts about my programs/network)

Thanks again

Thanks for checking out DisplayFusion!

1 & 2 & 5. Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

Open the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Click the "Export Info to File" button
Reply with the file attached

3. Can you send me a video of the issue?

4. That's not something we support, they need to be adjusted individually

6. That's not something we support

Thanks!

Hey

I'm a new user of DisplayFusion and I've been working through problems but the taskbar specifically has been giving me some issues I couldn't find the answer to.

Here are the issues/questions I have if anyone more familiar with their setup could please help me figure these things out:
1. The currently active/selected window, the show idden icons and the line for the show desktop button at the right end of taskbars are visible while the taskbar is hidden. Is there a way to prevent this?
2. When I press the show hidden icons, it for some reason appears in the top left of my screen
3. I use Lightshot, and the taskbars pop up while I'm using Lightshot. I've tried to

disable DisplayFusion taskbars while this app is running

, but since it runs in the background waiting for a press of the PrntScrn button, taskbars would stay disabled completely (the window only generates after button press so I figured this setting might've accounted for this but it doesn't). I also tried to set

treat this as a full screen application always

but the taskbar still pops up when I'm moving lightshot's borders with my cursor. This also happens on borderless fullscreen games and I've seen a ton of threads about it but not really any solutions. I've tried to toggle the

show taskbar in front of full screen applications when they lose focus

but neither side solves this.
4. Is there a way to manage taskbar settings for the DisplayFusion taskbars centrally (for example set auto hide for all instead of taskbar by taskbar?
5. When I first open a borderless fullscreen application, all taskbars become active and I need to restart the app. Any clue what could be the solution for this?
6. Is there a way to have the windows resize when the taskbar appears? When I get for example an alert on an application, all taskbars pop up. This means I lose the bottom part of windows (using the Window management snapping) as the taskbar comes up until I get rid of the alert. This can be specially annoying for apps where these warnings happen often (eg messaging apps that give you an alert every time you get a message). There is the setting from here to supress these alerts fully but then I can't see when I have alerts at all if I'm using all three DisplayFusion taskbars

I've attached three files:
df1 shows the visible bits while the taskbar is down
df2 shows the expanded taskbar to show whichi pieces are the ones visible
df3 shows how the hidden icons tab opens in the top left corner. I've blanked out the rest of my running icons but that's what's in the lighter gray box in the top left

I know it's quite a few, they've been driving me crazy too
Thanks in advance for the help!
