Thank you for the update. I am shocked the animation can't have a target point.

It really upsets me how Microsoft cripples the multi monitor support in Windows.

It's funny, even at this late date, Microsoft almost completely ignores dual monitor setups. Here at my company with over 350 employees, nearly everyone has dual monitors and would bet most people at Microsoft do too. ]]> RE: Minimize/Restore Animation: Animates to primary taskbar, not DF's taskbar. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimizerestore-animation-animates-to-primary-taskbar-not-dfs-taskbar/?ID=51ca618e-f6d2-4410-aa16-03f5b34261b0#4 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:33:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimizerestore-animation-animates-to-primary-taskbar-not-dfs-taskbar/?ID=51ca618e-f6d2-4410-aa16-03f5b34261b0#4 DisplayFusion Thank you for the update.

This is a Windows limitation, and the only way to avoid this is to disable window animations. ]]> RE: Minimize/Restore Animation: Animates to primary taskbar, not DF's taskbar. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimizerestore-animation-animates-to-primary-taskbar-not-dfs-taskbar/?ID=51ca618e-f6d2-4410-aa16-03f5b34261b0#2 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:11:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimizerestore-animation-animates-to-primary-taskbar-not-dfs-taskbar/?ID=51ca618e-f6d2-4410-aa16-03f5b34261b0#2 DisplayFusion Its a limitation afaik, but many jsut straight turn off the effect to eliminate any confusion. ]]> Minimize/Restore Animation: Animates to primary taskbar, not DF's taskbar. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimizerestore-animation-animates-to-primary-taskbar-not-dfs-taskbar/?ID=51ca618e-f6d2-4410-aa16-03f5b34261b0 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:59:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimizerestore-animation-animates-to-primary-taskbar-not-dfs-taskbar/?ID=51ca618e-f6d2-4410-aa16-03f5b34261b0 DisplayFusion The minimize/restore animation is a very help UI clue. It aids in remembering where on a taskbar an application is without specifically needing to look at the icon.

Unfortunately, this aid is broken when using DF's taskbar. The animation points to the primary taskbar's start button. This is very confusing behavior and constantly drives me to look for an application on the wrong task bar.

Is this a WinAPI limitation or something that can be patched in DF? ]]>
