(Currently running 10.1.2)

I have a W-I-D-E 7680 x 2160 monitor and have several monitor configurations (all 2160 high) based on what I'm doing:

A: 2 x 3840 wide - "Dueling document" mode
B: 3 x 2560 - Code development
C: 1 x 3840 and 2 x 1920 on either side - Standard office work

Recently I've discovered compelling uses for Windows Virtual Desktops.
Is it possible or planned... To have one Windows Virtual Desktop with monitor profile (A) and another with another monitor profile (B) ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#41 Fri, 22 Mar 2024 13:08:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#41 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion taskbars show windows on every virtual desktop already, so it might work the way you're expecting. Aside from disabling the animations, that's not something we have control over. ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#40 Thu, 21 Mar 2024 15:15:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#40 DisplayFusion I am wondering if this is possible with DisplayFusion:

1) Primary monitor has 2/3 virtual desktops, each with different apps. And I can easily switch between them with gestures.

2) Secondary monitor has only 1 virtual desktop, so it doesn't change the app shown on screen. Also, no transition animation between the desktops because that is also distracting and slows it down. So basically the second monitor would be static, kind of.

Appreciate any help, thanks. Already a DF Pro users and it's great. ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#39 Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:26:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#39 DisplayFusion I'm trying the suggestion of Set the DisplayFusion taskbar mode to "Windows Taskbar Shows All Windows".
In addition I'm doing a vertical split with just 40pixels at the bottom of the main display. This houses the windows task bar which I set to auto-hide. Then the main window above it has a DF taskbar. Sure I lose 40pixels of height, but not I have virtual desktops working as I expect along with all my DF functionality!:D

I tried doing only 5pixels high, but it seems like DF got stuck in some kind of crashing loop. :'( ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#38 Mon, 29 Jan 2024 13:48:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#38 DisplayFusion The only feature I really want is the ability to move windows between virtual desktops.

This issue hasn't been fixable (as mentioned here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-known-issues/?ID=e71e1f5e-9e07-4f7d-b179-22253db2c30f) because of a code change in Windows that removes any window from Task View if it doesn't have a button on the Windows taskbar. Windows 10 and 11 don't have an API that allows us to fix this issue.

Currently there are two workarounds (either will fix this):

1) Set the DisplayFusion taskbar mode to "Windows Taskbar Shows All Windows"

or

2) Disable the DisplayFusion multi-monitor taskbars and enable the Windows multi-monitor taskbars


What about drawing the displayfusion multi-monitor task bar over the windows multi-monitor taskbar or will that be detrimental? ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#34 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 08:27:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#34 DisplayFusion This is my result of using the solution:

Code
Copy
Select All

1) Set the DisplayFusion taskbar mode to "Windows Taskbar Shows All Windows"

As the dev said, it works. However, it will also cause the primary taskbar to show ALL windows, not only those of the primary monitor. Thus the total system behavior will be:
- Primary monitor's taskbar shows ALL windows from all monitors
- Display fusion's 2nd monitor's taskbar shows the windows from the 2nd monitor only.
- Switching the virtual desktop will work normally, so that the windows stick to their respective virtual desktop

So apparently Microsoft has made it impossible for me to get my desired behavior of using the display fusion taskbar on the 2nd monitor, while only showing the respective monitor's windows on the corresponding taskbar, with the virtual desktop working normally. :'(

@DisplayFusion
If there ever is a windows API change, please post this large and big here, as I will be the first to thank you for this! :)

You can then enable this advanced setting https://www.displayfusion.com/AdvancedSettings/?Version=9.9.99.118#taskbar_showdisplayfusiontaskbaronwindowstaskbarmonitor

That might get close to what you're looking for, but we don't support completely replacing the Windows taskbar at the moment. ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#32 Sun, 08 Jan 2023 12:50:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#32 DisplayFusion Would it be possible to allow all windows in the Windows taskbar, then hide that and replace it with a DisplayFusion one? ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#31 Fri, 06 Jan 2023 16:46:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#31 DisplayFusion Glad to hear :) ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#30 Thu, 05 Jan 2023 19:25:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#30 DisplayFusion Wow what a fast and great response - I stand corrected, sir. :)

I hope this link (see post above) also helps others who (as I did) come to the wrong conclusion about the development state of the software.

Next week I will re-install DisplayFusion and try the first workaround you posted. If it works, I will also let everyone know my Windows 10 version, so that the state of the solution is documented for anyone using the same system I do.

We are in the year 2022 and DisplayFusion is incompatible with the now very old feature of Windows virtual desktops. If you switch the desktop, any window which is not on the primary screen (e.g. your second or third monitor) will simply stay visible on ALL DESKTOPS FOREVER while Display fusion is running. This means you essentially EITHER have working virtual desktops, OR you use DisplayFusion. I chose to use a normal windows instead of destroying some features like virtual desktop.

I would be more positively inclined towards this issue, when the previous forum posts would not document how users have asked for a normal virtual desktop support for years already. Thus, anyone can be certain that the developers have pretty much abononed this application anyway. ]]> RE: Win10 Virtual Desktops and DisplayFusion integration https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#27 Wed, 14 Sep 2022 19:21:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-virtual-desktops-and-displayfusion-integration/?ID=8607eb21-358c-4b0e-8d8d-fb3011eed416#27 DisplayFusion I have also been using DisplayFusion Pro for years, and would really appreciate proper support for Virtual Desktops.
