We're very excited to announce that DisplayFusion 9.6 is now available for download! This version overhauls the Monitor Configuration backend code, adds a new wallpaper provider, and fixes a bunch of minor issues.
Important Notes!
There's an issue with loading Monitor Profiles that were saved in DisplayFusion 9.5. We'll have it fixed up with the next point release shortly. Newly created or re-saved Monitor Profiles in 9.6 will work fine.
The first time you open the Settings > Screen Saver tab after installing this update, it will be very slow to open, due to Windows Defender locking the .scr files for a long time during the initial scan.
If auto-updater fails to run, please try disabling your anti-virus before running the updater
The installer size increase is due to the inclusion of a Chromium-based webview library to replace the IE 11 based .NET webview
