I will add those info tags to our feature request list.

Thanks! ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#24 Sun, 21 Jun 2020 12:15:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#24 DisplayFusion I generally use a static wallpaper. BGInfo can be set run through Task Schedular to update on events (i.e. bootup), and every so many time periods (i.e. every 1 hour after initial run). It would be nice if this information can be set to update, at least on every boot. If at least that much was possible, I could live without free memory being shown, but drive space would be nice. Unfortunately, I'm unable to run both programs becuase BGInfo will override what DisplayFusion sets and replaces my wallpaper. There might be a setting I am missing there, I just haven't sorted that out I guess. ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#23 Sat, 20 Jun 2020 00:46:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#23 DisplayFusion @Ernest: Do you use the wallpaper slideshow, or just a single image for the wallpaper? The reason I ask is because the wallpaper image info only updates when the wallpaper is generated, so live performance stats may not be very useful unless the wallpaper is set to change frequently. ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#22 Fri, 19 Jun 2020 22:52:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#22 DisplayFusion I, too, am a big user of BGInfo. One thing that is nice is the ability to write custom VB scripts that pull system information (i.e. calculating free mem in MB and as a %, same with disk space). It would be nice if something like this could be implemented, or at the very least, provide us info tags that show memory Total / Free and same for drives. ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#21 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 18:34:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#21 DisplayFusion OK, Thanks for the quick response and update 8) ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#20 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 18:33:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#20 DisplayFusion I've added a feature request to our list for more customizable locations for the info tags.

e.g. sys-networkinfo in the top right, computer name top left. - if not could this be added?

Is there any way of adjusting the alignment of the tags? all lines are aligned per the location,
e.g. if top right (right aligned) if Center (centered)
BG info allows the info tags to be manually aligned or nudged with spaces etc to manipulate the display of the tag.

Any updates on being able to only display a selected network card vs all? ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#18 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 19:52:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#18 DisplayFusion Thanks guys! @Wolverine, I've added that to our list.

Just wanted to throw in my two cents, and say that info tags for NIC IP and MAC addresses would be fantastic. Being able to specify specific NICs when you have more than one would be great as well. ]]> RE: tag info like BGInfo https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#7 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 19:40:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/tag-info-like-bginfo/?ID=65f64d0f-0ce8-401a-844f-cf1e2b89f05d#7 DisplayFusion Those tags have actually been around for ages :)

We don't have an ETA on the MAC or Serial Number yet, but when we do, we'll let you know.

I see in the Beta release that there are now tags present for the computer name, user name, and domain name. Do you anticipate Serial number and Mac address will make it into this Beta release?

Is there a way for us to possibly add these tags in the interim while we wait for the feature to be implemented fully by BF?

Because I'm changing my workplace very often (means: the connected network and monitors is changing)
I use BGInfo to show the currently active network adapter, -speed and ip-address.
Tags in BGInfo:
host:<Host Name> (already implemented)
ip:<IP Address>
speed:<Network Speed>

ip-tag and speed-tag shows 3 items (2 LAN-adapters and 1 WLAN)

And as you mentioned: "As for the Info Tags in DisplayFusion, if you can let me know what tags you'd like to see added to them, we'll certainly add them to our feature request list."

My wish for the feature request list: 2 new info tags, ip and speed of the network-adapters ]]>
