There's an advanced setting that might help you out here. You can set the "Taskbar: Windows Taskbar Split Monitor ID" option in the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window to the split ID that you want to have the Windows taskbar. So if that monitor is monitor 1 and you want it to be on the right split, set it to 1.2.

Hope that helps!


Awesome! That works well and I can finagle the icons to sort of make a single taskbar. It's not perfect though and I'd prefer a single taskbar. Pesky programs like Sticky Notes still persist on the main windows taskbar, which with your fix is now on the right. There is also some weird behaviour (in both situations) where I click on a taskbar icon, action center or time/calendar and the pop up shows up on the wrong taskbar or sometimes shows up on one taskbar then a second later on the other one!

Please add this to a feature request, to be able to combine multiple taskbars on one physical monitor independent of another physical monitor. But thank you for the help!! ]]> RE: Change primary taskbar ? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-primary-taskbar/?ID=b2dd0050-feee-4bd5-8042-7ee04172de97#6 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 18:13:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-primary-taskbar/?ID=b2dd0050-feee-4bd5-8042-7ee04172de97#6 DisplayFusion There's an advanced setting that might help you out here.

You should be able to use splitting to decide which monitors get taskbars. If you split your primary it will get 2 taskbars, but not splitting the secondary will keep it with one taskbar.


That would be perfect, but how do I get it setup that way? In the monitor configuration if I uncheck taskbars on one monitor it unchecks it for both, and vice versa. I can't get it to where only one of them is checked.

Edit: I see where the misunderstanding is. I have both physical monitors split. So to get a full taskbar I would have to not split one of the physical monitors, but that would defeat the purpose of using displayfusion. ]]> RE: Change primary taskbar ? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-primary-taskbar/?ID=b2dd0050-feee-4bd5-8042-7ee04172de97#4 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 19:02:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-primary-taskbar/?ID=b2dd0050-feee-4bd5-8042-7ee04172de97#4 DisplayFusion You should be able to use splitting to decide which monitors get taskbars.

Sorry, right now the primary will always be on the left. Eventually we will support replacing the Windows taskbar entirely and in that case it won't matter which one is primary anymore. :)


Thanks, looking forward to that feature. In the meantime is it possible to combine the taskbars on one physical monitor, but keep them separate on another physical monitor? ]]> RE: Change primary taskbar ? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-primary-taskbar/?ID=b2dd0050-feee-4bd5-8042-7ee04172de97#2 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:51:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-primary-taskbar/?ID=b2dd0050-feee-4bd5-8042-7ee04172de97#2 DisplayFusion Sorry, right now the primary will always be on the left.

I have a 50/50 split left/right on my primary monitor and have 2 taskbars. It seems the left taskbar is always primary, but I'd like to disable the clock/icons/show desktop on that left taskbar but am unable to.

I know I can disable the taskbar checkbox in monitor config to make it a single taskbar, which is actually what I prefer. But the issue is I have a 2nd physical monitor which uses display fusion taskbars and I'd like to keep them, but in monitor config you can't deselect taskbar only on one physical monitor, it enables/disables them for all monitors.

Thank you! ]]>
