@PeterDackers: When you maximize a window, it shouldn't cover the taskbar. I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking for here. :( Could you explain a bit more what you would like to see happen?

Sure, no problem. In Windows you have an option called 'taskbar always on top' (roughly translated as I'm on the Dutch version). What this option does (if unchecked), is hide the taskbar behind any window that's being maximized. (Not full screen). IE your browser for instance will cover the entire screen and will be on top (over) your taskbar. If it's not to much trouble, I'd like to see a similar option in DFP. :)

I took this screenshot from Microsoft:

Thanks! ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#12 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:36:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#12 DisplayFusion :-( didn't think of that Jon. Didn't make a restore point before cleaning sorry.
But since this setup is battered to an inch of it's life by my searching for and finding it's limits i've had many a BSOD. A simple unintended registry pollution seems to me the most likely candidate. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#11 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:34:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#11 DisplayFusion @petrossa: This is a bit concerning, but I'm glad to hear it's working now. I should have had you export your old reg settings first, so I could test with them.

* Fullscreen (F11) in Firefox, Chrome all seem to be OK,
* The games I tried (OpenTTD and Guild Wars) both seem to be OK too.

Only thing that bugs me is the fact if I maximize a screen (not full screen), the DFP taskbar stays on top. Wish there was a setting for that, or am I overlooking something? :) ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#9 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:46:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#9 DisplayFusion ok that did the trick. After uninstall and reboot the reg key is still there, as is DF folder. If install without removing the key, DF shows same problem. If i delete key and folder and reinstall DF behaves as it should.

Full screen app hides taskbar, and taskbar remains unhidden if told to do so.
Seems i had a dirty reg.

Little detail off topic: when you set your wallpaper settings and press apply you get the confirm box, you confirm settings apply. If after that you press OK without changing anything the confirmbox pops up again.

More good news: virtual box takes the whole screen now. so the Virtualbox item is complete as far as i am concerned :-) ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#8 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:27:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#8 DisplayFusion After you do an uninstall, just make sure these things are gone:

Code
Copy
Select All

Folders:
C:\Program Files\DisplayFusion\
C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\
...\My Pictures\DisplayFusion\ (logs, images... etc - not necessary to delete)

Registry:
HKCU\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion


Once these are all gone, DisplayFusion is completely gone. It doesn't put anything anywhere else. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#7 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:24:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#7 DisplayFusion Jon, is there a way to be absolutely sure all traces of DF are gone after uninstall?
Just do a search of the reg for Displayfusion?

I'd like to try to get a clean system without reinstalling the OS to see if that helps. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#6 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:40:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#6 DisplayFusion i really can't tell Jon; The taskbar just doesn't show, autohide is off. In F11 fullscreen no taskbar is seen, i have to move the mouse to show it. It comes up on top.

Another thing i noticed, during wallpaper transition i see the taskbar flashing by. It draws and immediately disappears.

Vista i tried with and without WB. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#5 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:01:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#5 DisplayFusion If you make an application go fullscreen (liek a game, a picture slideshow, F11 in Firefox... etc) the DF taskbar should disappear behind the application. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#4 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:26:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#4 DisplayFusion Jon,
I don't see this (W7 x64).

I can't reproduce this error on my machines. :( To make Opera fullscreen, are you just hitting F11? ]]> RE: DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#2 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:04:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b#2 DisplayFusion setting autohide on or off makes no diff. Always hidden. Fullscreen apps are calculated as in the VirtualBox post. See screenshot the bottom part is the taskbar hidden, but set to unhidden.

Update: tested under vista sp2, same effect. ]]> DisplayFusion and Fullscreen Applications https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:23:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-and-fullscreen-applications/?ID=7976b466-27a9-4254-9c9c-7622d34aea3b DisplayFusion I made some big changes to the fullscreen application detection in Beta 15. Could a few people take it for a test drive and let me know how it works for you? Thanks! ]]>
