[size=3]Beta 15 (Aug 25, 2009)[/size]
- Fixed accented letters in the language files
- All core languages are now included in the installation
- Troubleshooting tab now lists the process integrity level correctly
- Troubleshooting tab doesn't incorrectly list processes as x64 in WinXP x86 anymore
- Better support for having more than 1 fullscreen application running

[size=3]Beta 14 (Aug 24, 2009)[/size]
- Reworked the taskbar button focus/minimize code to hopefully fix the black box issues in Win7 (Windows Live Messenger)
- Better Excel taskbar button minimize/restore compatibility
- Made changes to the Windows taskbar button deletion code to hopefully fix the disappearing taskbar items issue

[size=3]Beta 13 (Aug 22, 2009)[/size]
- Hung applications don't show duplicate items on the taskbar
- "SQLLite Maestro" shows up correctly on the taskbar now
- Windows 7 wallpaper transitions now always work
- Includes English, French, Spanish and Chinese languages

[size=3]Beta 12 (Aug 18, 2009)[/size]
- Taskbar mouse hover now looks correct with vertical taskbars in Windows 7
- English language file was messed up (all windows have the "VladStudio" title)
- Made some more changes to try and fix the "MS chat windows are black" bug
- The completed Chinese translation is now included (ZH-CN)

[size=3]Beta 11 (Aug 15, 2009)[/size]
- Changed the way DisplayFusion communicates with windows when left-clicking a taskbar item
- Better compatibility with Excel and taskbar text updates
- Better compatibility with Excel and taskbar button/window focusing
- Won't allow you to use the TitleBar Buttons without selecting a background image

[size=3]Beta 10 (Aug 12, 2009)[/size]
- Taskbars now update more quickly again
- Fixed an obscure FIPS encryption bug
- Dragging a taskbar button around no longer restores the window
- Text anti-aliasing is improved (more readable and faster) in Windows 7 taskbar button rendering
- Dragging an item to a hidden taskbar now restores it

[size=3]Beta 9 (July 29, 2009)[/size]
- Taskbar in Windows 7 now has a fancier mouse-hover effect (tracks the mouse movement like the Windows 7 taskbar)
- Clicking the TitleBar Buttons will no longer cause the attached window to lose focus (looks much cleaner)
- Added an "Apply" button to the Settings window (Needs a lot of testing!)
- All HotKeys now have a corresponding TitleBar Button image to use
- Taskbar drag/drop now works in Vista and Windows 7
- Taskbar buttons now appear "pressed" when a window's child window has focus

[size=3]Beta 8 (July 20, 2009)[/size]
- More hook changes to prevent multiple hook exe files - please report ANY instances where multiple hook exe files appear
- Added a "Paste from Clipboard" button in the License Key tab in the Settings window
- If you have never used the TitleBar Buttons feature before (first run upgrading from 3.0.6) it will add a "Move to Next Monitor" button automatically
- TitleBar Button editor now auto-selects the correct image based on your HotKey selection
- Added a "Toggle HotKeys" hotkey by default (can be used with the TitleBar Buttons)

[size=3]Beta 7 (July 19, 2009)[/size]
- The extra hook process in x64 Windows should now be killed properly - please let me know if you EVER see any duplicates
- TitleBar Buttons don't disappear anymore in Windows 7, when the Windows Taskbar is at the top and set to autohide
- DF Taskbars shouldn't popup in-front of full-screen windows randomly anymore when using 3 or more monitors (Tim Gaunt, this should cover your situation with IE as well)
- Installer is now 100% translated, with the new .NET Framework strings in place
- The taskbars no longer run as owned windows of a master hidden window. This is a technicalilty, and a behind-the-scenes thing, but if you run into any strange taskbar issues (like it not closing properly, duplicating itself... whatever) please let me know ASAP.

[size=3]Beta 6 (July 16, 2009)[/size]
- Window snapping has been re-written to no longer use the mouse hook (better performance)
- If it is your first time running the new version it will auto-detect the correct TitleBar Button background image
- Added an option to enable/disable the text on the taskbar buttons (no longer need to manually edit the registry key) - this uses a NEW KEY NAME and your old setting won't be saved - you'll need to configure it in the Settings window. :)
- Hopefully the titlebar buttons won't disappear when a window is maximized in Vista x64 (unable to reproduce here) :(

[size=3]Beta 5 (July 14, 2009)[/size]
- New option to run DisplayFusion as a high priority process (minimizes mouse lag in high CPU situations)
- New option to have the taskbar appear on top of full screen applications when the application isn't focused
- No more arrow image on the minimized window icon (taskbar preview)

[size=3]Beta 4 (July 9, 2009)[/size]
- All-new taskbar button rendering code which should eliminate all taskbar button rendering problems (I'm hopeful about this change)
- New minimized preview image in Windows XP shows the application's icon
- Image lists in the Settings window now don't show the file extensions anymore (looks cleaner)

[size=3]Beta 3 (July 8, 2009)[/size]
- TitleBar Buttons should be lag free in both 32 & 64 bit versions of Windows
- Added 2 settings to the Troubleshooting tab to toggle the system hooks - no more fiddling in the registry
- Added more logging to try and track down the cause of the missing taskbar buttons in XP
- HotKeys now have a "hover" and "pressed" image as well, so it looks a bit more native
- 2 new default HotKeys: Toggle Taskbar and Toggle TitleBar Buttons - they aren't assigned a key by default, but you can do that yourself if you need that functionality
- All the TitleBar Button icons and backgrounds are 100% done, I am not changing the graphics anymore :)

[size=3]Beta 2 (July 5, 2009)[/size]
- You can now re-order the titlebar buttons
- All of the titlebar buttons images (background and icons) are done and fully support Aero rendering (thanks Chris Ysebert!)

[size=3]Beta 1 (June 23, 2009)[/size]

The public change log doesn't include all the changes from beta to beta, but it should include everything that has changed from the last public release to the current beta:

You can download the latest beta from here:

I would encourage everyone to submit ANY feedback they have (good or bad). I would love to know what version of Windows you have it running in. Custom themes? Strange software? Anything! I like hearing success stories as much as bug reports. :) Please create a new topic to report anything, or if you have any questions, and please reference the version number you are having issues with.

Happy testing!
