Just bought DisplayFusion Pro and really love it.
I have 3 monitors that I typically leave in extended mode. I also play games using Nvidia SurroundView. This basically tricks the OS into thinking that the 3 monitors are a single screen. So my question is this:
Would it be possible with DisplayFusion to divide that single screen into 3 virtual zones so that I could have a DF or Win Start button on each screen and possibly even be able to maximize a window and it only maximize on 1 of the displays?
I am comfortable making registry changes—thank you for making the keys decipherable!—but thought I would ask before I started messing around.
Thanks you,
Mike

We actually have this on our list of things to investigate for a future version, so I've added your vote to it and will be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it.

Thank you for your purchase, and glad to hear you like DisplayFusion so far!

Just wanted to let you know that Nvidia added the following features to the latest release of drivers.

• Maximize an application to a single physical display when in Surround mode (enabled by default).
• Confine the Windows Taskbar to the center display (enabled by default).

This is pretty cool, however I can't use displayfusion while in Surround mode, as it still thinks of my screens as 1 large monitor.

Thanks,

I'll throw my vote in for this feature request too!

The way nvidia surround and amd eyefinity is implemented by combining three physical displays into one enormously wide virtual display makes window management and task bar positioning less than ideal. If you're able to implement the multiple background, taskbar and the multiple screensaver feature on the wide surround display, that would be way cool!

I'll also dream of a future version that supports turning nvidia surround on and off through the display profiles, plus the ability to run an application automatically after applying a display profile :)

It'll be interesting to see if Windows 8 handles 3d and games across multiple displays better!

I'm in the same situation with Eyefinity on an AMD Radeon HD card. Would definitely love to see this feature implemented!

We've just released DisplayFusion 5.1 Beta 17, and it now includes support for splitting Nvidia Surround/AMD Eyefinity setups so that each monitor can have separate taskbars, wallpaper, etc.

After updating to the beta, you can configure the splits using the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window.

If you get a chance to try it out, please let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

Just wanted to drop in to say thanks! I missed the feature in the beta, but downloaded 5.1 today and am using the new split feature. Fantastic! The single taskbar on a super-wide display has been an annoyance for awhile, but no longer.

Thanks again,
Mike
