Let me know if the crashing issue still persists after you've changed the full screen setting. Perhaps it's related to some full screen detection that we're doing.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#31 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:05:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#31 DisplayFusion I couldn't tell you exactly but it's been happening for a couple of months, i keep up to date with the betas.

What version did it start happening in?

Changing the General: Ignore Full Screen Windows option in the Advanced Settings should keep the taskbar above full screen windows

In fact the only issue I have is the occasional crash when using flash in fullscreen, DF CPU usage stays at a steady 13% and has to be force quit. Oh, while I have you, is there an option to always keep DF taskbars in front of fullscreen apps? I have a feeling it's already a feature but I can't find it. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#28 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:45:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#28 DisplayFusion Just wanted to follow-up with you to see if you're still using a DPI setting of 165%, and if so, are you still running into issues with certain applications?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#27 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:33:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#27 DisplayFusion A problem I noticed today - if an open Trillian window is a few inches to the right of the cursor, then the mouse will not scroll the window or app it's over, I think it's detecting the Trillian window as being underneath. Also, when you grab a Trillian chat window to move it, it doesn't grab it where the cursor is, it grabs it a few inches to the left of the window. Just noticed it and though you'd like to know. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#26 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:46:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#26 DisplayFusion Ok, great to know. I'll check out the 165% scaling issues in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know what I find out.

As for Eyefinity, we are planning to add some better support for it at some point, just can't provide a timeline at the moment.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#25 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:14:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#25 DisplayFusion Well I've been using it on 150% of late and most problems seem to be OK now. At 165% there's problems with almost all of the programs I listed, strange behaviour when switching screens or using DF to open programs to a particular monitor. Logitch Setpoint is a good example of this, if you click the system tray icon to open it then the program momentarily appears on the centre (my main display) and then disappears somewhere offscreen. I recently changed my graphics card from nvidia to amd and there's a whole host of issues with Eyefinity and DF, but I did a search in the forum and saw that it would take a considerable rewrite of your code to begin to address these, so the DPI issues we're talking about refer only to those discovered in three display mode. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#24 Thu, 31 May 2012 00:23:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#24 DisplayFusion Just a quick update, we've been super busy here, and I haven't had a chance to really get back to testing the other issues with DPI scaling. I'd still like to test and work on these, hopefully in a couple of weeks.

I know you were having trouble with Miranda IM with the custom skin. Are there any other applications that you're still having issues with that I should test out?

We'll keep working on these issues and I'll keep you posted. It may not be perfect for the final release of 4.0, but we'll keep working on it afterwards for 4.0.1.

I noticed a funny behaviour with full screen flash, it's much better than it was but it doesn't quite align when you swtich monitors, it is maybe 50 px off. If i open Setpoint in the right window then it is offscreen, one I bring it back on it behaves normally. I've attached a screen shot, you can see the miranda window at the bottom of the middle screen, if I flick it to another screen then it becomes visible, but once I click the wee system tray icon to open it in another monitor it goes back to off screen again. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#18 Tue, 01 May 2012 02:06:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dpi-setting-of-200-move-to-next-monitor-skips-two-screens-acts-like-theres-six-screens/?ID=c9ae6d42-bf04-450f-b0af-b759fcb42cd8#18 DisplayFusion Just a quick update: We've hopefully gotten the issues with Miranda IM and DFX sorted out.

It doesn't seem to be skinned, but it didn't have your account info either, so maybe there's some additional configuration needed.

Anyways, I was able to reproduce the issue with DFX, so we'll see if we can sort that out.

I use Winpopup and RealReconnect, that's about it. I'm running it at 165% DPI at the moment, flicking a DPI-affected program like DFX or Setpoint is a bit weird as it not only will open offscreen if i click a DF taskbar(aligned far left or right) on the right or left screen, when i then right click the taskbar button and manually shift to next monitor it seems to move pretty randomly, both horizontally and vertically. Sometimes it'll shift one screen, a screen and a half, sometimes it'll shift a few pixels right and then 500px up, or, and I think this is what's happening with the miranda contact list, it shifts downwards and offscreen. I'm not sure if I've made your life easier or harder with that, but there you have it! ]]>
