Mushroom Kingdom Fusion looks fun, im downloading now. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22#5 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:15:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22#5 DisplayFusion Hey GhostGum, What are you using GM for if you dont mind me asking? I use it a little as well... Never moved it to the second monitor though... I use it for any work I do with Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22#4 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:55:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22#4 DisplayFusion Hi GhostGum,

Let me try to address your questions:
1. Independent taskbar positioning is on my list of things to do and will make it into a future DisplayFusion version for sure.
2. Quick launch support isn't possible at all, because I'm not using any of the standard Windows taskbar components. It's all custom, and as a result it can't host a toolbar.
3. I will investigate Game Maker 7 compatibility for the next release

As for the wallpaper spanning issue, it should be corrected in the next release. The wallpaper changer/monitor now waits 30 seconds after startup before trying to change anything. This should allow your system to get setup correctly before DisplayFusion changes anything. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22#3 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:07:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22#3 DisplayFusion Cheers, good to hear this is on the cards.

Ive noticed a bug that happening to me:
I have DisplayFusion set to run on windows startup. When i stuartup my computer diplayfisuion thinks i only have one monitor with a very wide resolution (like if i span desktop over both). Display porperties shows the 2 monitors correctly. As a result of it thinking only 1 monitor displayfusion will put 1 desktop background stretched across the 2 & not display taskbar on 2nd.
At this point if i just quit displayfusion then run it again it will detect both monitors properly & work fine. This consistently happens.

Dont know if its related, but on occasion i do set my desktop to stretch across both monitors like that, so that i can utilise multi monitor support in a game (burnout paradise).

On a side note, i have found an app that wont be put on the displayfusion taskbar, it just stays on windows taskbar.

I know he is working hard on trying to get this working perfectly, and then there is Windows 7 support that he is trying to get done as well, but I do like the idea of a taskbar that can be placed anywhere independently of the windows taskbar - it would make for some cool effects to have them juxtaposed on opposite sides of opposite monitors....

As for attaching toolbars, shortcuts, and such, I am positive that Jon will incorporate that in as well - after all, in Windows 7, we can already add shortcuts, and in XP an newer we can add toolbars.... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 18:34:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/idependently-move-taskbars/?ID=d625e734-863e-483a-be6b-7ec693705f22 DisplayFusion Hi
I use my main windows taskbar on lefthand side of screen, i want DisplayFusion taskbar to be on the right hand side of my 2nd monitor as it gets in the way when its on left side. Is this possible?

I propose this as a feature request if it cant be done already.

edit - would be nice to be able to put quicklaunch/shortcuts in DisplayFusion taskbar too . show desktop icon too. ]]>
