What do most people do with "show displayfusion taskbar on both monitors" turn on do with it? ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#21 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 18:19:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#21 DisplayFusion There's another application called "Shy Bar" but I'm not sure if it would work any better than Taskbar-Magic. ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#20 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 01:12:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#20 DisplayFusion Alright.

Hiding the taskbar isn't really a supported setup, but I will put this on our list to look at on a rainy day to see if there's anything we can do :)

Thanks! ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#18 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 19:23:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#18 DisplayFusion Ah ok, so basically, you guys are hiding the Windows taskbar with a third-party utility like Taskbar-Magic, then setting DF to show taskbars on all monitors in the advanced settings? I'll test those steps out here to see what I can find :) ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#17 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 01:14:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#17 DisplayFusion Do you know of any other ways to get the displayfusion taskbar to show on both monitors and not conflict with the windows taskbar? ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#16 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 13:08:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#16 DisplayFusion

Yes, it does open then. I've also turned off the setting in Winstep that disables the windows taskbar and it works fine. The only problem is that when I click the start button the windows taskbar slides out and overlaps the displayfusion taskbar. I've tried disabling the taskbar by using other methods like the one you posted here: http://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-make-the-df-pro-taskbar-override-the-windows-taskbar/?ID=3d0cad5b-2ab0-4b2d-acbc-cd2b45389c38#6 Still it just has the same issue as the Winstep option.


I tried install the Taskbar Magic, but it seems like DisplayFusion is having compatibility problems with other programs which make modifications of the taskbar. ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#15 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 22:50:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#15 DisplayFusion Yes, it does open then.

Must have been a coincidence. At any rate, we will let you know when we've fixed that up for real :)

Regarding the Start menu not opening when clicking, your original post mentioned that clicks don't work on the Windows taskbar on the Primary monitor either? If you exit DisplayFusion does it then work? ]]> RE: Start Menu will not open (7.3 Beta 4) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#8 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 22:52:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-will-not-open-73-beta-4/?ID=88c97a54-14c5-48d3-a47f-64d2853d9f39#8 DisplayFusion Unfortunately I'm still having the issue.
