Could you send me over the script you're using?

I have used the donwload script, but it also minimizes website wallpapers. My goal is to min/max all the windows on one monitor in order to specificlally view the website wallpaper loaded. Is there a way to exclude website wallpapers from the code for the list of windows to minimize/maximize?

I found this discussion looking for another Show Desktop issue, and wanted to mention there are a couple of scripts for minimizing the windows only on the active monitor. They could possibly also be modified to minimize/restore the one window's application and pinned to the taskbar per this discussion:

Please add my vote to have this feature implemented.

Thanks!

My vote on this one !!!
I noted that with the W10 "Show Desktop" ...
if you use or interact with a windows or an applet that was not present
you cannot toggle back the previous situation,
so you're left with all your windows minimized.

To avoid to get stuck,
and having to manually restore one by one, all the minimized windows ...

... before "peeking the Desktop:
I have to use DF as a Patch !!!

I use Ctrl+Shift+Del to save < before peeking>
( and Ctrl+Shift+Bacspace to restore Windows )

It's not impossible, but tricky to implement reliably. We'll definitely post an update if/when we're able to add it in a future update.

Thanks!

Hum please do add this feature, this has been requested for a few years. If it is flat out impossible to implement it would be nice to know

RE: Show Desktop Button

I want this feature also. This software is supposed to make it possible to work separately on two monitors, so I find it kind of strange that this is not implemented yet.

RE: Show Desktop Button

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 02:08:23 GMT

I'd like to vote for this feature too if possible, think it'd be really nice to be able to minimize/ maximize all windows on particular displays only using a button on the taskbar of the same display.

@LordB: No immediate plans for it, sorry. We've added your vote to the open feature request though.

Thanks!

I would very much like this feature where the "show desktop" button only shows desktop for that monitor! Any plans to include this in a future update?

RE: Show Desktop Button

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 17:28:45 GMT

Not yet, sorry

We will definitely post an update when we're able to implement this feature.

RE: Show Desktop Button

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 18:31:59 GMT

has this been done? If so, how to do it?

RE: Show Desktop Button

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:11:01 GMT

Sounds good! It's still on our feature request list, but unfortunately not planned for a specific version yet. We'll definitely post an update when it is though.

Thanks!

That's ok, I kind of have to run aero basic due to windows getting cranky when I tried to do to much visually intensive stuff, and despite my best tweaking of windows settings, still doesn't want to play nice lol.

The fact you even responded was appreciated, I'm hoping DF is able to incorporate the minimize screens per monitor with the show desktop button because my taxes should be in next week, and the feature is becoming much needed with using 4 monitors.

RE: Show Desktop Button

Unfortunately there is! I actually tested this issue a while ago, and was able to reproduce it even on a clean Windows 7 installation that never had DisplayFusion running. A Google search turned up similar reports from other people in Windows related forums.

Unfortunately the only workaround I've found was to change the Windows theme to the full Aero theme.

Hope that helps!

RE: Show Desktop Button

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:35:27 GMT

Thankyou!

And Aero basic, is there a known issue with it?

RE: Show Desktop Button

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:58:43 GMT

@BelowZero: The Show Desktop for current monitor only feature request hasn't yet been implemented, but I'll certainly add your vote to it.

Regarding the RDP issue, are you using the Aero Glass theme, or Aero Basic in Windows, on the machine that you're connecting from?

Sorry, when I say Actual Monitors, I mean the program by Actual Tools that does what DP does (one of their competitors).

But my computer setup is 2 monitors, and when I do use RDP, I have it fully maximized on my primary monitor, and for some reason, when I click minimize in the auto-hide bar up top, it will minimize, then jump right back to maximize. It only does this when DP is running, it's an odd scenario and happens at unpredictable frequencies. Sometimes it will stay minimized like I intended, sometimes it may take 2-3 minimize button clicks before it sticks.

It's very possible it's combination of DP and another program I'm running since I have a couple of programs for hotkeys/virtual desktops/etc. But what I do know is when I close DP, it goes away.

I use RDP quite often and I haven't had this happen. I usually don't have my RDP screens maximized, but on occasion I do. I connected to a couple of servers and minimized them without any issue.

When you say actual monitors, are referring to a computer that has more than 1 monitor and you are doing a RDP to a server or another workstation?

I have 3 monitors with DF running. I RDP to another workstation (on a vm) every day. I also connect to Window servers (also vm'ed) and have no issues.

My work colleague and I would also love to have this feature also. Actual Monitors, in the right-click menu of the taskbar, allows "Minimize All" as a work-around for the Show Desktop button only having the option of minimizing all windows, on all monitors; they have yet to implement this feature as well.

This request was supposed to be up for a vote I read in 2011, and in 2012, and now that we are in 2013, I was curious if anymore has come of this feature? Between Actual Vs Display Fusion, they can both do a lot of things, but since I primarily use both for multiple taskbars, this feature would sway me one way or the other. If Display fusion implemented it, I would gladly buy the unlimited personal license as well, and I know my colleague would buy the single version. So in short, I believe you could attract a good number of potential buyers with this feature alone. Thanks!

I've also noticed that when Remote Desktop, if you have Remote Desktop in full screen mode, and then hit minimize, Remote Desktop minimizes then maximizes almost instantly, and this happens A LOT. With actual monitors it doesn't do it, so I've determined the issue is with Display Fusion. Has anyone had this issue before?
