The context menu is something we've considered in the past but not yet moved to a planned change. If we do decide differently in the future, we'll definitely let you know :) ]]> RE: [Request] Recycle Bin icon OR toolbars on the second taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#8 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 08:17:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#8 DisplayFusion

Thanks for the kind words! I should have clarified better, it's not possible in the current version of DisplayFusion. We know that it is possible, but it's quite tricky (undocumented APIs and such).

It is actually possible to move the taskbar shortcuts. If you right-click the taskbar and open the "Multi-Monitor Taskbar" sub-menu, there's a Shortcuts sub-menu that allows you to choose the position :)


Yeah I don't have enough good words to say about it.

Oh I see. Well it is a suggestion if you want to look into it. Another suggestion I have would be changing the ContextMenuStrip to a ContextMenu and try to replicate the same menu as the main taskbar, with a separate parent for DisplayFusion options (I attached an example). It'd look more authentic if you're trying for authenticity. If I'm going too far with suggestions, just say something, I don't want to over do it or backseat develop your wonderful program.

I knew you could move them to the left or right, I thought it affected both pinned and regular icons, but I also noticed the option "Combine with Taskbar buttons" and I think it fixed a bug where sometimes my pinned icons won't merge when opened or moved from another monitor. ]]> RE: [Request] Recycle Bin icon OR toolbars on the second taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#7 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 16:32:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#7 DisplayFusion Thanks for the kind words!

Until one of the Admin can say wether or not this is possible (I couldnt get it to work) you can have a right click context menu entry to empty the recycle bin if that helps.
I am
I am aware, I just prefer to have it set on the taskbar. Thanks for the thought, I might actually try some stuff out with that method.

Unfortunately it's not possible to add the Recycle Bin or toolbars to the DisplayFusion taskbar (there aren't any Windows APIs for doing this). If we find a way to do it in the future, we'll definitely post an update in this topic :)

Thanks!

It's definitely possible to add toolbars onto the second monitor from another application (which I don't plan on ever using, display fusion is the best of the ones I've used), but if DisplayFusion only uses windows APIs then the recycle bin option would be easy through command line. But, another feature that would be interesting is allowing the taskbar shortcuts be placed on the left and right side of the taskbar (before the tray icons).

Either way, thanks for listening to my suggestion, your program is great and I'm loving it. ]]> RE: [Request] Recycle Bin icon OR toolbars on the second taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#5 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 17:22:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#5 DisplayFusion Unfortunately it's not possible to add the Recycle Bin or toolbars to the DisplayFusion taskbar (there aren't any Windows APIs for doing this).

This link: http://www.displayfusion.com/Help/#contextmenu-taskbar-shortcuts explains how to do it better than I can. As I already had a shortcut on my desktop I just pointed the Add File location to it.


That is not my intention, as with the toolbar, you can right click it to clear the recycle bin which saves time. I have indeed tried it, but it is just a shortcut to open the recycle bin. ]]> RE: [Request] Recycle Bin icon OR toolbars on the second taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#2 Sun, 12 Nov 2017 21:21:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-recycle-bin-icon-or-toolbars-on-the-second-taskbar/?ID=f0a338e9-d199-4a08-bebc-438f4334cc63#2 DisplayFusion This link: http://www.displayfusion.com/Help/#contextmenu-taskbar-shortcuts explains how to do it better than I can.
