Hi there,

I have Monitor Profiles that include Splits and within those Profiles with Splits I have set a specific Wallpaper Profiles to change one of the Split Monitors to a JPG wallpaper.

However when switching to a different Monitor profile with a set wallpaper profile it is not loaded until I reboot and then despite switching to another profile (even a non-Split profile) the wallpaper doesn't change back. So the only way is to keep rebooting. Restarting DF does not fix it, I have to reboot.

I believe this started happening in Beta 4 and continues to occur in Beta 5. Have attached my Settings REG.

Is this a known issue, currently?

When you swap Monitor Proflies, if you open the DisplayFusion Desktop Wallpaper window, does it show the correct loaded profile there?

Hi Owen,

Yes the correct profile is showing in Desktop Wallpaper window (screenshot attached) but is not shown on the actual display.

Interesting, could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and then click "Clear Log"
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Debug log attached. Time of profile switch is around 1:52:20PM

Another point is when I switch to a split monitor profile and later on I get a User Account Control (UAC) prompt in Windows 11 (i.e. installing an app), I can see the wallpaper in place correctly. Once I approve the UAC prompt it disappears again.

We've added some further logging in our next beta, we'll let you know once it's released to grab a new log.

Thanks!

Hi Owen,

I see 11.2 Beta 6 is now out. The issue still occures. Shall I go ahead and recreate a log in the same way? Thanks.

Hi Owen,

I have tested this out in the new Beta 8 and no change. Is a fix still pending or need more logs again? Was really hoping a fix was coming in Beta 8.

We did have some changes we were hoping would fix this up. Could you send me an updated log from beta 8?

No improvements with 12.0 which is frustrating given I raised this during the beta stages and now 12.0 has gone prod.

This is a real show stopper for me. Shall I try recreating all my monitor profiles to fix?

Some guidance here would be appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear that! Can you explain exactly what the issue you're having is? Is it that when you load a monitor profile it isn't applied correctly? Is it related to the monitor resolutions or just splits? And how does the wallpaper relate to the issue for you? It sounds like there might be 2 issues here but I'd like to try and understand it better. Thanks!

Hi Jon,

Happy New Year!

I've attached a PDF that explains the issue a bit better. Its the wallpaper setting within splits that is the issue.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Sorry for the delay, we have overhauled how DisplayFusion is setting the wallpaper in this new version. Can you give this beta a try and let me know if there's any improvement?

Hi there,

I know I'm kind of hijacking this thread but seeing as how the previous issue was resolved and now I'm having what seems to be the same issue, I thought I would post in this thread to continue the coverage of this problem.

I'm running the latest version, and I just reinstalled it to make sure. What I'm finding is that trying to change to a wallpaper profile that uses different wallpaper on each monitor does not actually switch the profile. If I modify the profile to either span a single image on the screen or to use the same image on each monitor, then the profile will switch and use the background mode that I had picked. However if the background mode is set to use a different image for each monitor in that profile, the profile never activates and the profile that is currently running will keep continuing to change a wallpaper based on how it's set up.

As I'm using the latest version of the software, I was wondering if you guys can have another look at this problem and see what might be going on? As per the About dialog in the main window, I'm using Display Fusion Pro version 12.0.2 on Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.7922.

Let me know if you have any questions and hopefully we can get this resolved because I can't use any of the other profiles that I have set up. Thanks!

I've attached the log file. Apologies for the delay in getting this back to you.

I initially tried to change the wallpaper theme at: 12:17:42 pm, and then again at 12:18:xx (didn't see the seconds), but the theme did not change and is still set to the theme it was when I tried to change it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your help!

@PC-DF: Could you try enabling the "Disable Wallpaper Transition Code" option in the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window, restart the computer (to clear any weirdness with the desktop window), then try the wallpaper again?

Just tried that, rebooted the PC... doesn't make any difference. Still stays stuck on the wallpaper theme it starts with, but now obviously without the smooth transition between wallpapers.
