We have an idea on how this issue could be resolved, but we'd need to work with the Stardock devs as it would require changes to their code as well. I'll post an update if we're able to work something out with them!

Thanks!


Hi Keith,

Any update on this issue? Through a bit more testing, it seems that Win+M minimises BOTH screens. Is there any way to use this feature or provide an option to mimic Win+m on mouseover/click? ]]> RE: Display Fusion 5.1 Minimising all windows using Aero Peek button https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b#11 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 18:06:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b#11 DisplayFusion Ok, my bad. Even though Startup Delayer showed an entry for Fences, that doesn't appear to be what's actually launching Fences. It looks like Fences is just a DLL loaded into explorer.exe via a Shell Extension.

So, unfortunately you won't be able to delay Fences so that it starts after DisplayFusion, sorry for the wild goose chase :(

Strange! Which version of Fences are you using? I've got the latest (2.11), and it shows up under the "Normal Startup" section in Startup Delayer.


I'm running Fences 2.10 On Windows 7. Is Fences on the System Services, Running Tasks or Startup Applications tab? Its not visible on any of them.

Can you send a screenshot of Startup Delayer so I can see what I need to duplcate? ]]> RE: Display Fusion 5.1 Minimising all windows using Aero Peek button https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b#9 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 19:13:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b#9 DisplayFusion Strange!

There is an incompatibility, and the workaround is to make sure that Fences launches after DisplayFusion. It has to do with the hook chain and integrity levels (I can provide more technical details if you like). There's a utility called Startup Delayer (link below) that allows you to set the order the programs startup, so that should help work around the issue :)

Thanks!


I tried installing that, but Fences doesn't appear to be launched either as a service, registry or startup entry. I assume its a DLL/other.

Is there anyone else who is successfully using the most up to date versions of both Fences and DisplayFusion? ]]> RE: Display Fusion 5.1 Minimising all windows using Aero Peek button https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b#7 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:28:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b#7 DisplayFusion There is an incompatibility, and the workaround is to make sure that Fences launches after DisplayFusion.

"All Taskbars show relevant windows"

It would be a neat option though. ]]> Display Fusion 5.1 Minimising all windows using Aero Peek button https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b Wed, 04 Sep 2013 17:43:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-51-minimising-all-windows-using-aero-peek-button/?ID=76bcbf1f-8fbf-4043-8ee9-fe1420edbb0b DisplayFusion When using a dual moniitor setup and DF 5.1, when clicking the left hand monitor "Aero Peek" button (on the 'actual' Windows 7 taskbar) all open windows minimise.

When clicking the right hand monitor "Aero Peek" button (on the 'Display Fusion' taskbar) only the open windows on the left monitor minimise, not the right hand monitor

Is there a setting to enable this or can this feature be added? ]]>
