We've got that on our list to fix up as well :) ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#9 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 13:46:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#9 DisplayFusion I've been noticing this behavior recently with Windows Calculator too - if calculator is on the primary monitor, it's fine; if it's on the secondary monitor, the icon stays on the primary monitor, and the secondary monitor gets a blank icon - there's the little underline on the bottom edge of the taskbar where the icon would be, but the actual icon is blank. the hover preview and right/left click actions work fine. I'm incapable of doing math in my head, so I use the calculator a lot :-) ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#8 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 01:47:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#8 DisplayFusion Sorry for the delayed response on this! I can reproduce it with Notepad++, and I'd like to test it out with the tax app too. Is it CCH Tax Prep? ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#7 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 20:54:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#7 DisplayFusion LOL .. if I pin it to DF taskbar appear a third icon...
Now I see the application exe file have one icon and in the same folder there is a appicon ico file.. This is a tax application ( a new one for every year) so I need when Is minimized to see the year not the logo and that why I create some custom icons with years.
Now, when the application is on the main screen it shows me the custom, if I move it to second screen it show me the ico file and if I pin it it shows me the exe icon....
It's ok I will try to use all of them in the main screen

Thank you for support ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#6 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 20:22:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#6 DisplayFusion OK, if you pin the application to the DF taskbar (right-click its button on the DF taskbar and choose "Pin this program"), does that make it use the custom icon? ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#5 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 13:52:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#5 DisplayFusion Is actually a shortcut to desktop and I change the icon thru Properties/Change Icon ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#4 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 17:20:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#4 DisplayFusion Can you tell me what method you've used to set the custom icon? Did you just set it on the Pinned button on the Windows taskbar? ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#3 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 20:02:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#3 DisplayFusion Hello
Any solutions to that issue? I have the same problem with an application where I set a custom icon. Now when the window is on the primary screen the task bar it shows the custom icon, but when I move the window in the secondary screen the secondary task bar show the old icon (actually the default application icon).

Thank you

PS I use Windows 7 ]]> RE: Win10: taskbar icon changes on second monitor? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#2 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 19:41:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-icon-changes-on-second-monitor/?ID=7c853049-79b0-4410-8ecf-ab9b36918f67#2 DisplayFusion That's weird! I can't reproduce that same behaviour here. Would you be able to send over a debug log?
  • On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

When I move it to the secondary monitor, the taskbar icon moves with it, but changes to the default blue Windows Notepad icon. This was horribly confusing :) I don't think I've seen it on any other applications so I don't know if the issue is with Notepad++ or DisplayFusion, so I'm just going to toss it out here and see what people think about it. ]]>
