I'll be releasing a public beta in the next couple of weeks, and you can give it a try when it comes out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0#5 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:18:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0#5 DisplayFusion I'll check this out before the 3.2 release, but unfortunately it's too late to squeeze into the 3.1.6 release.

I don't think I had this issue using Ultramon so it leads me to believe that DF is causing some of this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0#3 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:04:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0#3 DisplayFusion It happens even when I disable the external monitor using windows control panel. Some applications are missing but not all. I can still see them using ALT-TAB. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0#2 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:31:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0#2 DisplayFusion Does this happen every time, or just occasionally? Does it happen if you manually disable the multi-monitor taskbars before disconnecting the HDMI cable? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:05:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/missing-taskbar-icons-in-win7-when-disconnecting-hdmi/?ID=a32344d9-c86c-4e8d-babc-1f6e32d0baa0 DisplayFusion I am using dual screen in win7 with DF and I find when I disconnect the secondary screen where the smart taskbar is, not all the windows appear on the main taskbar again. This has happened to powerpoint windows, adobe acrobat, and other applications.

Anyone else seeing this? ]]>
