Unfortunately there's not much that can be done there. It's not possible to force the Windows taskbar to the bottom. The only suggestion I can make is to set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide when you're playing the game. ]]> RE: Taskbar in front of an application https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#5 Thu, 28 May 2015 02:35:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#5 DisplayFusion Yeah it still appears on top. Even with DF closed and the taskbar spanning all three screens it still sits on top of that game.

From what I've seen so far it happens when the game is set to run in a borderless window at a single screen's native resolution. ]]> RE: Taskbar in front of an application https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#4 Wed, 27 May 2015 13:17:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#4 DisplayFusion Yeah, DF has to force it to the middle in order to make the splitting work properly. If you exit DF (the Windows taskbar will probably span all screens again), then run your game, does the Windows taskbar still sit on top of it? ]]> RE: Taskbar in front of an application https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#3 Tue, 26 May 2015 22:14:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#3 DisplayFusion Yeah I totally forgot to include that detail.

The on in the middle is the actual windows taskbar. Tried moving it to one of the side screens but as soon as I disable DF's taskbar feature Window's own taskbar is expanded accross all 3 screens so I can't move it around. ]]> RE: Taskbar in front of an application https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#2 Tue, 26 May 2015 19:33:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d#2 DisplayFusion I believe the taskbar on the middle monitor is the Windows taskbar. Can you confirm by right-clicking it, and checking whether it shows the DisplayFusion menu, or the normal Windows one? ]]> Taskbar in front of an application https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d Mon, 25 May 2015 19:13:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-in-front-of-an-application/?ID=bd5c38fb-6724-4144-9c43-2a19732d616d DisplayFusion Hi!,

As the title say I have an issue with the taskbar being in front of an application that I'd like to resolve but have no idea how xD.

This is my current setting:
    3x23" screens using Nvidia Surround so that Windows sees them as a single 5940*1080 screen.
    Running Windows 8.1 up-to-date.
    Latest stable DisplayFusion version (was using the latest beta but it had some weird behavior with the alt+tab handler).
    The game I'm trying to run right now is The Secret World in a borderless window at 1920x1080 but I've seen this happening with other games trying to use the same settings (SimCity and Cities Skyline for example).

The problem:
As I said I have 3 screens but Windows is seeing them as one. I also have custom splits set up so each screen displays the correct 1920*1080 resolution even though I have bezel correction on and the total resolution is slightly bigger than the sum. Got some help with that here.
The problem I have is that when I'm running an application in a 'Borderless window' configuration at 1920*1080 which should effectively show up as full screen in a single screen then the taskbar is always on top in front of the application BUT this only happens in the screen in the middle, in the other 2 screens (left and right) the application is correctly on top of the taskbar. I attached 2 pics so you can see the issue.

Any idea what the problem could be or how can I do to fix it?.

Thanks!. ]]>
