Thanks for the update Owen. Unfortunately I have moved on from DF as things that other users think are normal seem to take an age to implement, for example this was requested 12 years ago.
As I said, thanks for the heads up and best wishes.


Mind if I ask what you're using now? Really bored of opening multiple clunky windows to fiddle with the padding of a single element, and very tired of waiting for basic features to creep their way into each sporadic release.

Feel free to DM me if frowned upon to discuss alternative solutions here.


Well the toys I use at the moment is Actual Multiple Monitors, Start11 and Windhawk, usually mix and match accordingly to my mood with Start11 and Windhawk being my favourites. ]]> RE: [Suggestion] Restart Button https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/suggestion-restart-button/?ID=367b9247-9602-49d5-9197-929902d279b0#6 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 16:38:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/suggestion-restart-button/?ID=367b9247-9602-49d5-9197-929902d279b0#6 DisplayFusion

I need this because the thumbnails on chrome on the secondary monitor get screwed up and restarting DF fixes it. ]]> RE: [Suggestion] Restart Button https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/suggestion-restart-button/?ID=367b9247-9602-49d5-9197-929902d279b0#2 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:53:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/suggestion-restart-button/?ID=367b9247-9602-49d5-9197-929902d279b0#2 DisplayFusion It's been suggested in the past, so I've added your vote to the feature request :)

In the meantime, you can actually shutdown DisplayFusion using DisplayFusionCommand.exe, so if you wanted you could use something like this in a batch file to automate the shutdown and restart of DisplayFusion. It's not totally ideal, but should save you a few clicks with the mouse :)

Code
Copy
Select All

REM Close DisplayFusion
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -closeall

REM Start DisplayFusion back up
start /b "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.exe"

I change many things that me to restart DP and think it would be much easier if there was a button to do this rather than close down the app then restart it through my Start Panel.
