I followed the post #6 and able to set the DF taskbar on all monitors but I encounter a problem. The problem is I cant bring up the windows start menu by click on the the windows start icon (with mouse).

note : I still able to bring the menu up by pressing the windows key on keyboard.

I think the Taskbar Magic also hide the Start menu as well, since all back to normal when I restart my computer. I also some experiment by toggle auto-hide windows taskbar also activate "show taskbar on all monitor". When I do that if I click the start menu on my second monitor, the menu shows up on my primary monitor (Top Left corner since I put taskbar on left side on my second monitor). When I turn off the the autohide then it all back to normal but I have 2 stack of .

Add +1 for this function

note: I see it still missing language switch for typing (eq:Eng->Jap) maybe with option on primary monitor or all monitors.

Thank you. :) ]]> RE: Anyway to make the DF pro taskbar override the windows taskbar? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-make-the-df-pro-taskbar-override-the-windows-taskbar/?ID=3d0cad5b-2ab0-4b2d-acbc-cd2b45389c38#33 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 20:46:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-make-the-df-pro-taskbar-override-the-windows-taskbar/?ID=3d0cad5b-2ab0-4b2d-acbc-cd2b45389c38#33 DisplayFusion IDK but microsoft and the GPU companies are sliding multimonitor support into a dismal abyss.

When we can get it working reliably, we will release it publicly.

What's the point of making taskbar options such as "show taskbar in front of full screen epplications when they lose focus" if it doesn't work for the main window? As it is now if I play a fullscreen video on my main monitor and want to browse the web on another I don't want the taskbar going over the video.

I found another solution (@Keith's did not work for me - Win 10)
1. Use some software to hide windows taskbar (for example Taskbar Magic). Change in ini file - allocate to 0.
2. Split main display (In Monitor configuration)
3. Split horizontalaly: First cell full width, full height. Second cell full width - 5px, full height. If something went wrong try more with spliting
You will get DF taskbar :)

If you follow those steps you will get multiple taskbars on main display.
Only thing you need is to hide windows taskbar. You can achieve this by Magic Taskbar as described previously. ]]> RE: Anyway to make the DF pro taskbar override the windows taskbar? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-make-the-df-pro-taskbar-override-the-windows-taskbar/?ID=3d0cad5b-2ab0-4b2d-acbc-cd2b45389c38#25 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 10:57:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-make-the-df-pro-taskbar-override-the-windows-taskbar/?ID=3d0cad5b-2ab0-4b2d-acbc-cd2b45389c38#25 DisplayFusion ADD +1 for this function (I was looking for it - to be default in DF - discovered in this post it is not)

@100 I don't get your solution ... more details please ?

#6 It's near 20 years I use "TaskBar Activate" so I don't feel so keen using another prog, but I will check the suggested one.

I mean, if I tab out of the game (Alt+Tab), the taskbar is not there anymore but I can see the game through it.

And yes, it is seen as a fullscreen application:
FullScreen Applications [1]
• 0x000307d6 ~ {X=0,Y=0,Width=1920,Height=1080} ~ FillsOneMonitorWindow ~ "Garry's Mod" ~ "Valve001" ~ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\hl2.exe"

That's how it looks, when I tab out:
http://puu.sh/d4LLm/3462245081.jpg

OK, I think it's a "bug" (or maybe a feature?) of the Taskbar-Magic because when I move my mouse to the far bottom, the windows taskbar comes up but without the windows circle thingy oO You can also see a bit of the taskbar...
Pretty sure I haven't had this issue yesterday, restarting computer, maybe just a strange glitch or something.

Edit: OK, looks like it didn't execute Taskbar-Magic, don't know why...
Now, when writing the edit it came up randomly again when I moved my mouse to the bottom but was instantly gone again..
Edit2: Just read the readme of Taskbar-Magic, the 2nd thing is a known bug there it says:
