Thomas just posted an update to the Scripted Function. Could you try downloading it again and see if that works for you? ]]> RE: Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#9 Tue, 01 May 2018 13:22:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#9 DisplayFusion

What we probably could do is just make it remember the last windows, and it would be a toggle. Run it once, it minimizes the windows, run it a second time, it restores them. Would that work for you?


Yes, that would work. ]]> RE: Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#8 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 17:33:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#8 DisplayFusion It would have to keep a log of every window that gets minimized using the function, and then clean it up and stuff, which would get messy pretty fast.

Windows doesn't keep track of the z-order once stuff is minimized, so if you had multiple minimized windows, there's no way to know which one to restore.

The script could remember which one it last minimized maybe, but if you run the minimize script twice, which window would you want restored? ]]> RE: Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#5 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 17:40:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#5 DisplayFusion How about reversing ? ;) In other words, I can restore the top most window that was minimized. ]]> RE: Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#4 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 15:01:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#4 DisplayFusion I put together a Scripted Function that should work for you. Here's how to set it up:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, click the "Download Scripted" button
  • Double-click the script named "Minimize Topmost Windows on Non-Current Monitors"
  • Add "System.Core.dll" to the references field (see the attached image for details)
  • Give it a key combination and click OK
  • Optionally, select it, click "Toggle TitleBar Button" (to add it to the caption bar of every application)
  • Click Apply and test it out

I hope this works for you! ]]> RE: Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#3 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 01:47:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#3 DisplayFusion Thanks :) ]]> RE: Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#2 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 18:41:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0#2 DisplayFusion This should be possible with a Scripted Function. We'll try to write up an example this week :) ]]> Function to minimize other screen window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 19:06:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-to-minimize-other-screen-window/?ID=a7ee3a72-0099-4548-b48d-175a95f07fe0 DisplayFusion I've created a function whereas I want a keyboard short-cut to minimizes the other screen active window regardless what screen is the active window. Unfortunately the function actions available have no such option ? ]]>
