Great fan of your software.

I would like to have different DPI settings per monitor split.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

It may be possible in a future version but we don't have any time estimate on it.

Jim421616: There isn't a way to have splits span multiple physical monitors. You could manually resize the window to span the monitors, then on the Settings > Functions tab, create a new custom function for it. You can use the blue target icon in the custom function edit window to grab the co-ordinates and size of the window after you've manually resized it. ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#35 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 18:51:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#35 DisplayFusion I currently have 3 monitors, and my largest window (my IDE) spans the left, middle, and the left-hand side of the right monitor. The right monitor is split into two virtual monitors. What's the easiest way to snap my IDE window from the far left monitor to the split in the rightmost one? For example, can I have a virtual monitor spanning the three physical monitors? ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#34 Sun, 16 Jan 2022 06:07:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#34 DisplayFusion So I just decided to try this program with my new 6900XT to make the monitors split still for programs like discord and edge. My only problem is, is there no way to make a video fullscreen to a single monitor? I'm running triple monitors in 7680x1440 and it centers the video. It's not really a deal breaker as I'm likely to buy a license soon, but it's something I'd have liked. The window split works better than NVS did and Eyefinity doesn't even have such a feature likely because it wants to run eyefinity when it launches a game instead. ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#33 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 19:29:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#33 DisplayFusion Hi Shannon,

Using this advanced setting, you can force the primary monitor ID: https://www.displayfusion.com/AdvancedSettings/#monitorconfiguration_forceprimarymonitorid

This will only adjust it for what DisplayFusion sees though, it won't have any effect on what Windows sees.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#32 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 01:10:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#32 DisplayFusion Is there also an option to force which side of the split screen is primary monitor because of nVidia surround? ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#31 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 20:28:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#31 DisplayFusion Votes added :) ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#30 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 19:50:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#30 DisplayFusion

Hi Shannon,

This isn't something we've added in, but we do still have it open as a feature request. Would you like me to add your vote to it, so we can let you know if we have any news on it going forward?

Thanks!

This is possible, yep! If you right click an empty space on the taskbar you want to disable, you can head to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Position > Disabled, and it should remove that taskbar.

We have "Mirror Window" and "Mirror Monitor" functions that will create mirrored windows that you can drag to other monitors/splits. I believe that's what you're looking for :)

Thanks! ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#22 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 20:56:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#22 DisplayFusion I am looking into a setup with three monitors of which one monitor is vertical and will be split. Is it possible to show the same application on one virtual window of the vertical monitor and a second monitor at the same time, but not at the third monitor.
Is it at all possible to show a application on two of the three screens?

Thanks,

I think that's what did the trick. I also deleted the split and recreated them from the presets. I must have done something right, because now I seem to have two half-screens on my external monitor, which is just what I need.

Great software when it works! :laugh: ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#20 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 14:17:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#20 DisplayFusion Hello,

If you open up the DisplayFusion Settings window and head to the "Window Management" tab, you can enable "Show monitor selector when dragging non-maximized windows to split monitors", and it should do this for you.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#19 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 06:02:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#19 DisplayFusion I've noticed that the 'snap zones' come up consistently when moving a window from one of these positions
- maximised to a split
- maximised to a monitor
I'd like this consistency when dragging a window that is not maximised, is it possible to configure DF for this? ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#18 Wed, 04 Aug 2021 15:50:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#18 DisplayFusion Hi Gary,

Could you send me over a screenshot of your DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window?

We currently don't support full screen applications constraining to monitor splits, but we do have this open as a feature request.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#17 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 20:43:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#17 DisplayFusion I'm not sure I understand Monitor Splits.

I have 3 monitors, extended display. I defined a split for one monitor, and checked it with preview. But it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is that because the displays are extended, so anything dragged across monitor boundaries just span both monitors / displays?

How do I constrain a window to a split monitor? Can I make it "full screen" to forced it to fill the split section? (I tried this, but the windows fills up the physical monitor size, not the virtual monitor I created with the split sections.) ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#16 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 17:31:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#16 DisplayFusion Thanks, that did the trick! ]]> RE: Working with Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#15 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 16:24:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-monitor-splits/?ID=44152bec-fda4-42ef-a636-e40c7c4813fc#15 DisplayFusion Hello,

If you open up the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window, and click the "Splits and Padding" button, you'll see a "Reset Splits" button. Clicking that button and applying the settings should remove any splits you created on that monitor.
