Windows Shake only let's me minimize/restore the windows from my main screen (left), no-matter what screen I shake it. :( ]]> RE: Windows Shake https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#7 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 16:05:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#7 DisplayFusion right then, been on client site all week so couldn't get the full list of oddities up:
Windows 7 Professional
2 LCD displays, 1 connected via VGA, the other DVI
DF 3.1.8








































Action Result Expected Result
Shake window in display 1 to minimise all other windows only windows in display 1 minimise all windows to minimise, apart from active window
Shake window in display 2 to minimise all other windows only windows in display 1 minimise all windows to minimise, apart from active window
Hotkey Windows + M with open windows only windows in display 1 minimise all windows to minimise
Hotkey Windows + M to restore windows no effect all previously open windows to restore
Selecting the desktop using windows+tab All windows minimised and Display Fusion taskbar disappears all windows minimised, DF to remain
Selecting the desktop using alt+tab No Bug, behaves as expected, all windows minimised and DF taskbar remains visable all windows minimised, DF taskbar to remain visible
Selecting the desktop using taskbar button (next to the clock) No Bug, behaves as expected, all windows minimised and DF taskbar remains visable all windows minimised, DF taskbar to remain visible





Unselecting the desktop to restore windows using taskbar button (next to the clock) No Bug, behaves as expected,all previously open windows restored all previously open windows restored

And the expected behaviour is that all windows should minimize?

This is exactly what is happening on my rig.

I grab a window and shake it - all other windows minimize.
Shake it again and the windows restores again.
It doesnt matter if the window "lives" on a primary taskbar or a DF one.
All open application windows on all 3 monitors minimizes and restores as expected.

Win7 x64 enterprise
DF 3.1.8

So unless I have misunderstood something then this is not a bug I experience. ]]> RE: Windows Shake https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#5 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:44:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#5 DisplayFusion Yea, just tested it. Does the same thing. Shaking on any of my 3 monitors only minimises open windows on the main non-DF monitor. ]]> RE: Windows Shake https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#4 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:17:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#4 DisplayFusion

I would imagine that this has to do with the fact that DisplayFusion removes the taskbar entries for those windows. I'll check it out for the next beta. Thanks! :)


Hi Jon,

Thanks for the reply,
there are a couple of other wierd things going on with windows not behaving properly when minimised... I'll compile a full break down of action/result/expected result for you ]]> RE: Windows Shake https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#3 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:47:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4#3 DisplayFusion I would imagine that this has to do with the fact that DisplayFusion removes the taskbar entries for those windows.

Windows 7 Pro 32-bits EN with 2 different sized monitors (left primair). ]]> Windows Shake https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:23:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-shake/?ID=87fd27db-07e4-43de-847a-8fa889f294b4 DisplayFusion When using Windows Shake whilst DF is running only the windows in the primary monitor are effected.
Doesn't matter if I shake a window in the primary or secondary window, only those in monitor one minimise.
If I exit Display Fusion then all windows (except for the one being shook) in all monitors minimise as expected.

Am I missing something or is this a known flaw/feature in Display Fusion? ]]>
