We haven't had a chance to add the scripted functions needed for this yet. I'll keep you posted as soon as we and the script is ready.

Thanks!

I would appreciate a script
Otherwise I <3 DF so far!

Btw heroes of the storm launches in fullscreen windowed, but since the game wont allow such a resolution, it will be maxed to 1920x1080 on one screen. However, I just use "move to next screen" and it works.

Just a quick update on this. We need to add some stuff to the Scripted Functions API in DisplayFusion before I can make a script that will do this. I'll post an update as soon as we've got something working

Thanks!

Ah, good point! I forgot about that option. It should actually be possible then, for us to write a scripted function that executes that shortcut key, then applies the Monitor Profile. I'll do some testing with this here to see if that can be done

In surround there is a shortcut window which allows you set shortcuts to toggle surround and it works.

Thanks for trying out DisplayFusion! I'll answer your questions as best I can

1. Does Heroes of the Storm run windowed? I'm not sure why it would be opening on the left monitor, but if it's windowed, you should be able to create a Window Location rule to have it open on the middle monitor.

2 and 3 are both the same answer, DisplayFusion can't constrain full screen games/video to a specific monitor in a Surround setup.

4. At the moment it's not possible for DisplayFusion to toggle Surround on and off, but we're hoping to add that in a future version

Thanks!

What version of Nvidia driver are you using?

Hello,

first of all, I just downloaded DF and tried to improve my experience with nvidia surround and a 3 monitor setup. I really enjoy it, but unfortunately I ran into some problems and you may be able to help me.

I posted 2 screenshots of my settings so it's more understandable.
Unfortunately the screenshots are in german, hope that isn't a problem.

1. If I open a game like 'Heroes of the Storm' (where surround isnt supported), nvidia puts the game onto my middle screen as intended.
However if I use DF the game will be opened on the left screen and I need to switch it back to me middle one.
Did I do something wrong?

2. Some games are incredible bad in a surround setting, so I want it just to use the middle screen. However, since I use surround (3 monitors act as 1), the game is always on all 3 screens using fullscreen and/or windowed fullscreen.
Is there a way or workaround so some games just use the window region in the middle?
The window positioning tool isn't working, since I cant choose a window.

3. The same goes for VLC and flash player. Maximizing a Window works just fine, but putting VLC or flash player (youtube) in fullscreen just puts the video to all screens. I wish there would be a way to just put it to fullscreen to 1 window.

4. I still don't understand how to use different profiles effective. So I want a 3 single monitor setup all the time, except playing some games, where it should switch automatically into a surround setup (and maybe back when tab to desktop/exit the programm?)

Sorry if I got so many questions, but I couldn't find something useful ._.
Hope to hear some useful hints from the comunity and/or support staff.
