My version isn't quite as flexible yet, but it does the job ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#13 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:19:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#13 DisplayFusion @NetMage: Top-notch, I'll see about including a "keep window inside workspace" option. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#12 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:56:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#12 DisplayFusion I have been running with top TaskBars for many years and this has been a problem in Windows from at least 95 (since they created taskbars that can be placed on top).

I use an add-on called Shove-it that moves Windows and Dialogs out from under taskbars (and optionally, inside the screen bounds), but it would be nice if this functionality were part of DisplayFusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#11 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:26:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#11 DisplayFusion I just discovered that Windows Media Player does it too.

Your best bet is to contact the Notepad++ developer and see if they can make it work properly with docked windows on a secondary monitor. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#9 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 22:39:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#9 DisplayFusion Hello, sorry for the delay. This is something I'm looking at for Beta 2, but like Kevin said, it looks like it is probably something in their application that doesn't properly take into account a smaller workspace where the top is cropped. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#8 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:02:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#8 DisplayFusion Nice.

The behavior does not appear. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#5 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:47:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#5 DisplayFusion I * believe* this is bad coding on their end. Iv'e seen this behavior before, and its likely due to some part of their code that "adjusts" For the taskbar being on the bottom. IE the program stores last pixel coordinates, then adjusts for taskbar, but since the taskbar isn't there, the adjustment is made to no avail and then the window inches up. Try it with the windows taskbar being on top if you want, if I'm right it should happen there too. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#4 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 22:37:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#4 DisplayFusion Ping! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#3 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 21:28:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#3 DisplayFusion Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. I have not set the taskbar to auto-hide. Further experimentation seems to indicate that only Notepad++ does it. With each launch, it climbs higher and higher until ultimately, it's completely off the screen. With each launch, it climbs up what appears to be the height of the taskbar. It's Notepad++ 5.8.7 (Unicode). It does not exhibit the behavior if DisplayFusion is not running, or if the taskbar is at the bottom of the display. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#2 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 05:56:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05#2 DisplayFusion Which version of Windows are you using, and have you set the DF taskbar to auto-hide? Does this happen all the time with every application, all the time with only specific applications or just randomly? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 22:35:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mm-taskbar-at-top-oddness/?ID=091296ff-4427-4c43-b0bf-02e933498d05 DisplayFusion I've searched thru the forums and haven't seen this question. I'm using the eval. DisplayFusion and so far, so good. I run it alongside Deskspace, of which I am a long-time customer. (I'm not going to go into compatibility issues here - I'm working around those I've discovered, and not using the features in DisplayFusion that seem to directly conflict.)

My problem is with the multi-monitor taskbar. A very nice feature! My setup is a Win7 x64 laptop with two external monitors, one positioned on each side. I have DisplayFusion set to display the multi-monitor taskbars at the top of the display. I find that when I launch a program, such as Notepad++, and that program wants to start on, say the monitor to my right, the title and menu bars in the new window will often be positioned under the DisplayFusion taskbar, making them inaccessible with the mouse. Occasionally, the new window will be placed with the title and menu bars completely off the screen at the top. (Fortunately, I know that I can Alt-Space and move the window down with the keyboard).

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. ]]>
