And as I mentioned, I use a combination of two DF taskbars and one Windows taskbar on my primary monitor. Perhaps changing one of yours to Windows' might do the trick.

Best of luck! ]]> RE: Windows 10 taskbar button grouping https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#13 Thu, 22 Aug 2024 10:10:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#13 DisplayFusion

I did forget to mention that I use an additional utility: 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (Ramen Software). This utility also provides functionality controlling the combination (or not) on the taskbar of grouped application buttons. In my configuration, I use both Windows and DF taskbars. I use Windows' on my primary monitor, and I use DisplayFusion taskbars on my 2nd and 3rd monitors, but 7+ Taskbar controls all taskbars in use.

Note: The settings in the attached screenshot represent my taskbar preferences, not suggestions for how you would configure for your situation.

The utility was designed for Win 7 but works equally well for Win 10. You can safely ownload it from MajorGeeks.com.

The 7+ taskbar tweaker, did not do what you suggested it would do. DF taskbar is in no way listening to any configuration set in the 7+ taskbar tweaker. I'm on Windows 10. Even restarted Windows and both tools after any relevanty changes. ]]> RE: Windows 10 taskbar button grouping https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#12 Tue, 20 Aug 2024 14:27:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#12 DisplayFusion I did forget to mention that I use an additional utility: 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (Ramen Software).

Here's is the Win 10 setting area. I can't see your protected attachment images, so I can only go by what you've described. I have the Combine tasbar buttons setting set to Never, but that's because I prefer the indiviual window tabs to appear on the taskbar of the monitor on which they're located.


I think you misunderstand the issue. This is not about the taskbar of Windows, but about the taskbar of DisplayFusion.
I tried what you said, and when you set the Windows combine setting to 'never' and have 'grouping' option of DisplayFusion enabled, it still combines them on the DisplayFusion taskbar.

We do want the grouping, but not the combining. And, as Owen mentioned, it's not implemented (yet).

Thanks though for trying to help :) ]]> RE: Windows 10 taskbar button grouping https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#9 Mon, 19 Aug 2024 21:35:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#9 DisplayFusion Here's the Win 10 setting area.

I realize the OP request is old, but nobody has yet mentioned that the requested functionality is avaialable as part of the Win 10 taskbar configuration.


Is it different than I've stated in my previous comment?
If so, could you guide me the exact setting?

Thanks!


Now, a few years down the line, is this feature implemented?
Because I can not find it.

Edit: To be clear, the current option that is called 'Group Buttons' is combining then, not actually grouping them next to each-other. ]]> RE: Windows 10 taskbar button grouping https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#4 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 13:57:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#4 DisplayFusion This isn't something we've added in but it is still on our feature request list so I've added your vote to it.

Is this possible to do now? ]]> RE: Windows 10 taskbar button grouping https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#2 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 19:02:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-taskbar-button-grouping/?ID=f3b0aefb-eddd-41a9-9394-fa6d7f2fde69#2 DisplayFusion Not at the moment, but this is on our list of improvements needed.
