Hey guys,

I found a couple of more issues while using DisplayFusion on Windows 8 x64.

- The alternative startmenu icon disappears very often.
- The alternative startmenu icon often flickers as hell when the focus changes between my main screen and a secondary screen. Notice: The icon will only disappear on one of my secondary screens, not on both. (see second screenshot)

- Get connected to another network by using a VPN, WLAN, 3G-Modem or something else, close the "Windows network tab" (or whatever it's called) by clicking on a connection or on your desktop ---> watch your Windows taskbar and your DisplayFusion taskbar: You no longer have a instance of the "network tab" on your Windows taskbar but an instance remains on your DisplayFusion taskbar. It's still possible to "open" the network tab, even tho I should be already gone. It may be a intended behaviour by Windows that they just hide the icon from the taskbar because they don't/can't properly exit the process (maybe it's a child process from explorer.exe?).
See:

- The icon of the alternative startmenu won't appear again once it's gone. Even tho it'll fade smoothly out when you press WIN to open the startmenu.
--> You can also no longer open the startmenu by using your mouse once the icon is gone.

- Sometimes when you use WIN+TAB (to cycle through "Modern UI" + your Desktop) the alternative startmenu opens, sometimes it doesn't.

That's it so far More to come... <3

Cheers~

Hey Keith,

actually I'm not pretty sure how to reproduce the bug. I was switching all the time between "Modern UI" and my usual desktop. Maximized a couple of windows (streams) on my secondary monitor. I didn't notice when the button disappeared, I just noticed it sometime that it was gone

Let me try to reproduce it in v4.1

Hey Keith,

I've found some more issues with Windows 8:

The DisplayFusion taskbar doesn't use same color intensity as the native taskbar.

Just right click on your desktop --> personalize --> colors --> select a random color: move the color intensity slider and see the differences.

Another issue is that there's no icon for any InstallShield setup.

I also had to reinstall my whole Windows, therefore DisplayFusion. When the setup completed I just ticked "Run DisplayFusion". As expected I saw the dialog asking me to disable the native multimonitor taskbar.
However, while the dialog was opened I saw two taskbars, the native and the displayfusion. After I clicked "Yes" both taskbars disappeared again and I got introduced to DisplayFusion via the wizard (how is it called? Newbie guide? ). The taskbar was gone until I closed the wizard, which could be kinda confusing to new customers.

Btw. all contextmenus will be opened behind the taskbar.

I've got something more for you!

Again it's a issue with the taskbar color: The color of the taskbar changed a couple of times while I was browsing/searching the Windows Store and even when I launched some apps I recently installed.

The colors were the same from the launching screen background.

Another minor issue is that you can notice a new Windows Explorer instance on your DisplayFusion taskbar for a couple of seconds while launching a Metro App. I'm not sure if this can be fixed or if it's even that kind of annoying that it needs a fix

Btw. moving Metro Apps using the hotkeys (i.e. CTRL+WIN+X/W) will result in that the app will be correctly moved but there is still a fullscreen "App" (maybe it's Metro itself?) on the old position. That "App" can't be focused and moved, which is kinda annoying :/

[EDiT2]
I often noticed that the DisplayFusion taskbar is still in front of Metro and any Metro App, even tho I unchecked "Show taskbar in front of fullscreen application when they lose focus".

The coloring issue has been fixed with 4.1 Beta 1
