Thanks! ]]> RE: Feature: Dim non-primary monitors all at once? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#64 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 06:45:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#64 DisplayFusion I saw mention of a mouse feature in #40 on this thread, was that ever implemented? I've been googling for a solution for a long time. Essentially my oled is suffering from burn-in, I want it to dim the screen or black it out entirely unless my cursor is active on that screen. ]]> RE: Feature: Dim non-primary monitors all at once? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#63 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:52:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#63 DisplayFusion Ah sorry, I got confused. This is a really long thread and I kind of forgot about those scripts since we added Monitor Fading as a proper feature a while ago

Are you referring to this script?

Sorry, totally didn't see this was a feature request post. I was more quizzing if the posted scripts above could be modified in some way to never dim the primary monitor even if I clicked out to a secondary one. If that can be done that would be sweet as heck. ]]> RE: Feature: Dim non-primary monitors all at once? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#61 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 20:55:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#61 DisplayFusion I'm not sure that's something we'd add as a built-in function, but we're planning to add some scripting functions for working with Monitor Fading, so it might be possible in the future with a scripted function.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Feature: Dim non-primary monitors all at once? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#60 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 07:42:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#60 DisplayFusion Hi all,

Sorry to resurrect this thread AGAIN..

I'm loving the dim unfocused function, but what I would love to achieve is the following:

Run VLC on my primary monitor, dim other windows
If I click into a dimmed window, never dim my primary.

Any ideas? ]]> RE: Feature: Dim non-primary monitors all at once? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#59 Wed, 09 May 2018 15:03:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#59 DisplayFusion Another restart solved it ... no reason given!

:-(

As you can see here the Bar is still at his place .. vertical on the primary.

I didn't check if it works yet for the previous issues.

I found this strange thing, and I don't know if it's DF or something else doing the trick...

My primary monitor is clearly defined... and it worked fine for someday after I installed the beta.
1) is a 55" Samsung TV [HDMI] (with 4k not yet enabled) 2) is a Samsung 27" Monitor [VGA]

To day I was checking display configuration to see what I should do to enable 4k, and suddenly all the desktop icons went on the secondary.
I'm not able to understand why.... and how to get them back on the primary :-(

The taskbar are still normally on 1) ... nothing changed unless the icons.

Alain

I was able to reproduce it with those steps, and when we fix that, it might fix other similar scenarios where all monitors fade

I have it installed ... is that a problem ??
Thanks

I was able to reproduce this issue with IObit Uninstaller now. We'll get that fixed up and hopefully it's a generic fix that will resolve similar behaviour with other applications

Right now, after the try with the script we spoke previously, I kept using the Settings > Monitor Fading tab.

Sometime it act strangely, swapping monitor back and forth on an action that next time will not do it.

Difficult to pinpoint, and even to do a video of each singular event, sorry.

Alain

Ps: got one I can film !! Really fun ....hahahahah

Please note the un-dimming of the secondary monitor. "flash in, flash out"

May be is not present in this video .... BUT ....
The funniest is when BOTH monitor get dimmed at once and stay dimmed....
My mind ask ... hmmm.. where I was ?

PPSS: I live in Italy (primary language) but I'm French (a little rusty)
I've already bought DF, but if you need a hand feel free to ask !

I may show you some "indecision" on what monitor to light up by the default option.
After hiding/closing the active windows on the primary monitor, it most often happen hovering with the mouse on the hiding taskbar (windows managed not DF) but also elsewhere for any in-definited reasons.

I've no idea how to describe it :-)

)

This short video show one of the surprising event.

Regards

Alain ]]> RE: Feature: Dim non-primary monitors all at once? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#46 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 14:19:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-dim-non-primary-monitors-all-at-once/?ID=bb39636a-589f-448c-9a6c-da69339e75a9#46 DisplayFusion That happens sometimes if Windows isn't refreshing the desktop properly. Usually re-applying the wallpaper fixes it, but good to know that opening up the Personalization settings fixes it as well

)
2) NO, only ONE instance when I run the script ( no little green things !! hahaha!)
3) Yes it can be a nice solution, great for me, pending that I'm not the only DF user (heheeh)
3)bis even sending not moused monitor to sleep would be acceptable for me. (timing it after a said time)

So Now I'll try to rise the line 140 number to 75m and post back the result

Regards Alain

A)
... put 75 then 175 no difference in dimming...

and while it was running only ONE green thing in notification

B)
with 175 I remembered to "apply" ... and when rerun the script.
I obtained the opposite....
the current screen become black :-(

Changed to 75, apply ... rerun ... DF crash ...
Restarted DF rerun script with 75 then 85... it's working, but sometime doing strange things...

C)

Disabled Script .... I go back to Button pushing :-)

or using the standard fading function. ]]>
