Firefox 57.0.3 (64-bit)

This is turning into a very small issue because I'm now using Tilebar buttons to move open windows. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#10 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 19:06:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#10 DisplayFusion Seems to work ok for me with Firefox on Windows 10. Which version of Windows and Firefox are you running? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#9 Tue, 26 Dec 2017 16:43:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#9 DisplayFusion I have the opposite problem. When I first installed DisplayFusion (Pro, paid version) and dragged a window from one monitor to another I got a big number on the screens showing the monitor numbers I allocated to them. I need this! That feature has now disappeared and when I drag a window from one monitor to another nothing appears to show me the monitor number. I looked in Window Managament/Enable maximised window dragging between monitors and I think I have checked the right box - please see attachment.

Edit - I just noticed, the problem is when I drag Firefox browser windows from one monitor to another. When I drag Open Office windows I get the big monitor numbers I need. Hmmm....

Ours are only white, they don't use any colours at all.

I'm not sure what other programs would use number overlays like that, sorry! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#7 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 20:03:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#7 DisplayFusion Im sorry, but this doesn't work for me. Even uninstalling Displayfusion doest solve this.

It's really annoying having a big "1" show up while i'm dragging open menus in games. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#4 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 19:38:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#4 DisplayFusion Ok, so to clarify, you want it to still show the white outline and dimmed screen when dragging a maximized window, just not the number in the middle? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#3 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 22:53:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#3 DisplayFusion That's an option, but doesn't properly answer the question. " I would like to know if it is possible to disable the number on the screen while retaining the other functions." Your answer is to disable the monitor selection, which is the opposite of what we want. We want to know if we can shut off the number identifier while leaving the rest of the monitor selection function in-tact. Is that possible in the advanced menu? I'm trying to hunt it down, but there's a lot of options. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#2 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:33:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679#2 DisplayFusion It sure is! On the Settings > Window Management tab, just disable the "Show monitor selector while dragging" option, and you should be all set.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 06:15:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disable-monitor-number-on-window-drag/?ID=9ae67418-a4e5-4e37-97d3-ee219b64c679 DisplayFusion When moving a window to another monitor there is a huge sign of monitor 1/2 depending on which monitor the window is on. I would like to know if it is possible to disable the number on the screen while retaining the other functions.

Thanks. ]]>
