The only thing I noticed was that my screens go blank for about 4 seconds while the transition is being made, but it's completely livable, and I'm happy. Thank you again for your help! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#9 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:12:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#9 DisplayFusion Woops! Sorry about that. I forgot to disable the protected mode when I attached the files. Give it a try now ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#8 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 16:38:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#8 DisplayFusion Thank you for doing this, and so quickly.

I feel kind of silly asking, but I cannot seem to access the attachments. They come up as [Protected], which I assume means that only you and I can access them. Although I am logged in as myself, I cannot figure out how to download them. Am I missing something obvious? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#7 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 19:28:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#7 DisplayFusion Ok, I've managed to write a couple of scripted functions that will do what you're looking for

Here's how to set them up:

• On the Settings > Functions tab, click Add Scripted
• Give it a name and a key combination
• Paste in the code from one of the attached text files
• Click OK
• Do the same for the other script

Hope that helps!

Edit: Just realized that the path to the themes is the path on my system. You'll need to update the "Keith" part of C:\\Users\\Keith\\AppData... with your username

Edit2: I've fixed up the scripts to use the %LOCALAPPDATA% environment variable so that you don't need to modify the paths ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#6 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 19:33:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#6 DisplayFusion No worries, thanks! I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to write up a script for this. I think we'll need to add a function to the scripting API for this to work though, so it may take a bit as I'll have to wait for the next beta. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#5 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 04:23:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#5 DisplayFusion I realized I didn't mention that I use Windows 8.1. Apologies for not including that.

I only use 2 profiles most often and those are the ones I usually switch to and from. I also have a windows theme saved for each setup that I switch to and from. I am not sure if that matters but I will also include the name that I saved them as(shows up under My Themes).

Monitor Profile 1 (Most Used)
DF Monitor Profile Name: Home-Dev
Desired Windows Theme: High Contrast Black
Desired Windows Theme Saved Name: EyeSaverFinal
Key Combination: Ctrl+Shift+1

Monitor Profile 2
DF Monitor Profile Name: Home-ScreenShareFriendly
Desired Windows Theme: Windows Default Theme
Desired Windows Theme Saved Name: RegularFinal
Key Combination: Ctrl+Shift+2 ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#4 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:32:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#4 DisplayFusion It should still be possible to do that. Do you just have the two Monitor Profiles, or do you have more? Also, which of those were the Monitor Profile names? Home-Dev and Home-ScreenShareFriendly, or EyeSaverFinal and RegularFinal? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#3 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 21:28:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#3 DisplayFusion Home-Dev = High Contrast (Saved As: EyeSaverFinal)
Home-ScreenShareFriendly = Windows Default (Saved as: RegularFinal)

I also love the key combination feature which I use to quickly switch between them. Will the scripted option still be able to switch via Key-Combination, or would this be an external script using the command line options and thereby removing that functionality? I know I could probably use AutoHotKey or an equivalent tool that would take my key combo and trigger the script, but I was hoping that this could be something that could be managed easily in one place.

Thanks for your response, and even if I do lose the DF embedded key-combo features, I would be interested in the script since I don't feel like searching how to change a theme via script

Thank You! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#2 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 16:00:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2#2 DisplayFusion Which version of Windows are you running, and what are the names of your Monitor Profiles that you toggle between? We could probably write up a Scripted Function that changes the Theme and loads a Monitor Profile at the same time ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 17:13:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-monitor-configuration-profile-changes-windows-theme/?ID=e53646cb-2591-45fa-8640-dbac7e0d3aa2 DisplayFusion I have been using DF for several years now and have loved the advancement thus far. Thank goodness for developers and companies like this that make life easier for people that constantly wonder how things could be made better. Thank you!

Several times a week, I have to conduct a meeting that requires a screen share. Since Lync shows the lines where splits are applied on a shared screen, I have a separate Monitor Configuration Profile that I switch to just prior to me meeting that takes away the splits on the monitor that I share out.

The problem is that I currently am in a situation where I like to work in a high contrast theme. Unfortunately high contrast themes throw off people that are not accustomed to that. In addition, Microsoft (in their infinite wisdom and seemingly infinite resources)and their Excel spreadsheet product refuses to play nice with high contrast themes and removes all color from spreadsheets. This means that I have to switch to a non-high contrast theme to properly display a spreadsheet. Can an option to change a saved theme be added to the monitor configuration profile options so that I do not have to find other means to control this? ]]>
