Not a big problem. It's easy enough to swap primary then back again once video has finished ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-taskbar-popping-up-on-second-monitor/?ID=f95b6ab5-ba61-434b-a450-3cccc60b6740#3 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:54:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-taskbar-popping-up-on-second-monitor/?ID=f95b6ab5-ba61-434b-a450-3cccc60b6740#3 DisplayFusion Yeah, unfortunately it's not possible for us to force the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the z-order

Sorry! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-taskbar-popping-up-on-second-monitor/?ID=f95b6ab5-ba61-434b-a450-3cccc60b6740#2 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 01:46:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-taskbar-popping-up-on-second-monitor/?ID=f95b6ab5-ba61-434b-a450-3cccc60b6740#2 DisplayFusion ignore

Just searched and found that focussing on secondary monitor will always show taskbar on primary monitor, irrespective of it showing full screen or not. I'll just create a couple of profiles to switch between or simply switch the other monitor to primary.

It'd be nice if it'd work on the main screen though. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-taskbar-popping-up-on-second-monitor/?ID=f95b6ab5-ba61-434b-a450-3cccc60b6740 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 23:56:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-taskbar-popping-up-on-second-monitor/?ID=f95b6ab5-ba61-434b-a450-3cccc60b6740 DisplayFusion Hi,
If i'm watching a video on main screen but want to do a little work on the second monitor, the taskbar appears on the video monitor whenever i click anywhere on the work monitor. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I'm running win7 64 bit and 'Show taskbar in front of full screen applications when they lose focus' is unticked.
Thanks ]]>
