Hi there, I'm still getting used to this handy software and have only one problem.

As I have a 3 monitor set-up all the same resolution and size, I have set up a feature using the catalyst control center from AMD that adds a 'hidden' section under both bezel edges of my middle monitor. This actually makes the X resolution larger even though nothing more is being physically displayed. This is to even out the image displayed and prevents it from looking 'jagged' whilst playing games etc. Whilst I have this feature on, the task bars for each monitor are partially hidden in this 'bezel zone' and I can't find a way to adjust the parameters for where the task bars start and end. I have enabled and disabled the 'Auto-split Eyefinity and N-Vidia Surround monitors' option to no effect and have set the 'horizontal split' to '3' as it hasn't been detected automatically.
I have attached an image file showing my issue (I have left the Chrome window edges located at the edges of my physical middle monitor to show the edges doesn't meet)

If there's a way to fix this I'd be much appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction as this is the only gripe I have with this software at the minute. If there's any information I've missed out, let me know. Cheers, Sam.

Bezel corrected resolutions aren't currently supported, but we're planning to add support in a future version. I'll be sure to post an update here when we do!

This was exactly the answer I was looking for!
This problem is currently keeping me from using this program, I hope support will be implemented soon!

Ok! DisplayFusion 7.0 Beta 6 is available, and we've added support for asymmetrical splits, and bezel corrected resolutions. In the Monitor Configuration window, hit the "Splits and Padding" button, and you'll get the window with all the configuration options for the splits. Here are some basic steps for bezel corrected resolutions to get you started:
  • Assuming you have three monitors, use the "Preset Splits" button to select the 3x1 option.
  • Click the "Show Preview" button.
  • Select each split, and set the "Width" and "Height" values to the actual resolution of your monitor (not the bezel corrected resolution).
  • Select the middle split, and using the "Left" box in the Location group, increase the value until you see the white line on the left side of the middle monitor.
  • Select the right split, and using the "Left" box in the Location group, increase the value until you see the white line on the left side of the middle monitor.
  • Verify that all three monitors have a white line on all four sides, then click OK, and OK again.

When you've had a chance to test it out, please let us know how it goes! We're looking for any feedback on functionality, as well as usability :)

Thanks!

Your instructions listed here didn't quite work for me, so I am listing my settings below. I am currently using DF Pro 7.1.

I have three 1920x1080 monitors in eyefinity with bezel compensation that gives me a resolution of 6048x1080. That is 5760 real pixels, and 288 hidden pixels-- That's 144 pixels per hidden area.

Left split:
Location 0
Width 2064 (1920+144)
Right padding 144

MIddle Split:
Location 2064
Width 1920
No padding

Right Split:
Location 3984
Width 2064
Left padding 144

So basically, the padding goes on the inside edges of the outside monitors. And contrary to the previous instructions, the buffer width needs to be added to those splits with the buffers.

As far as usability feedback goes, the interface is rather complicated. I believe the math should be easy to incorporate into the application. At the least, a better explanation of how it all works would be a welcome addition.
Also, the reset padding button currently sets the boxes to 0 but doesn't apply them.

You should be able to do it without using the padding setting at all, and just using the Width and Location values. For your setup, it should be something like this:

Left Split: Location 0, Width 1920
Middle Split: Location 2064, Width 1920
Right Split: Location 4128, Width 1920

Does that not work?

Thanks for the heads up about it not applying the 0 padding on reset, I've added that to our list :)

Trying what you suggested, I set the left split to 0/1920, but when I set the middle split to start at 2064, it auto-adjusted the width of the left split to 2064. Padding is still necessary, at least for my currently installed version (which should be up to date).

Ah, can you try disabling the "Auto-Fill All Splits" option, then try my values again?

That worked!

What is padding even for if you can do without it, in a much less confusing way (except for the math)?

I notice no difference with vs without padding settings. Everything looks correct in both settings. WIN+Left and WIN+Right still don't work correctly (they try to put the window across half of the total display area).

Padding is for if you want to reserve some space on a monitor without treating that space like a virtual monitor. So for example, you could use the setup I gave you, but also add 50px of padding to the side of one of the virtual monitors, so that you can see your desktop icons, or whatever :)

Hope that makes sense!

Regarding Win + Left/Right, those are the Windows Aero Snap shortcuts, and DisplayFusion doesn't hook them. When using monitor splitting, you should use the DisplayFusion Ctrl + Win + Left/Right shortcuts instead :)

Please let me know if you have any other questions at all.

Thanks!

Using AMD Eyefinity and cannot get the padding thing to work to get rid of the Bezel.
Installed trial version 7.1 and have one week left on trial. Followed the instructions
in the help section and the video posted there, but just doesnt seem to be working.
So we downloaded beta 7.2 and installed. Now our trial went away. Can we get it
back so we can keep trying to get it to get rid of the bezel - will need to make sure
it's going to do that before I will buy it - and so far, having no luck. Thanks.

Just sent over a new 30-day trial key. If you still run into trouble, could you attach a screenshot of your Splits and Padding settings in DF?

Thanks!
