Hi
I use my main windows taskbar on lefthand side of screen, i want DisplayFusion taskbar to be on the right hand side of my 2nd monitor as it gets in the way when its on left side. Is this possible?

I propose this as a feature request if it cant be done already.

edit - would be nice to be able to put quicklaunch/shortcuts in DisplayFusion taskbar too ;). show desktop icon too.

The DF taskbar is a re-write of the old DF taskbar, if I am not mistaken from the testing on previous builds and commentary with Jon. I know he is working hard on trying to get this working perfectly, and then there is Windows 7 support that he is trying to get done as well, but I do like the idea of a taskbar that can be placed anywhere independently of the windows taskbar - it would make for some cool effects to have them juxtaposed on opposite sides of opposite monitors....

As for attaching toolbars, shortcuts, and such, I am positive that Jon will incorporate that in as well - after all, in Windows 7, we can already add shortcuts, and in XP an newer we can add toolbars....
I am I.

Cheers, good to hear this is on the cards.

Ive noticed a bug that happening to me:
I have DisplayFusion set to run on windows startup. When i stuartup my computer diplayfisuion thinks i only have one monitor with a very wide resolution (like if i span desktop over both). Display porperties shows the 2 monitors correctly. As a result of it thinking only 1 monitor displayfusion will put 1 desktop background stretched across the 2 & not display taskbar on 2nd.
At this point if i just quit displayfusion then run it again it will detect both monitors properly & work fine. This consistently happens.

Dont know if its related, but on occasion i do set my desktop to stretch across both monitors like that, so that i can utilise multi monitor support in a game (burnout paradise).

On a side note, i have found an app that wont be put on the displayfusion taskbar, it just stays on windows taskbar. Game Maker 7 http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/try .

Hi GhostGum,

Let me try to address your questions:
1. Independent taskbar positioning is on my list of things to do and will make it into a future DisplayFusion version for sure.
2. Quick launch support isn't possible at all, because I'm not using any of the standard Windows taskbar components. It's all custom, and as a result it can't host a toolbar.
3. I will investigate Game Maker 7 compatibility for the next release

As for the wallpaper spanning issue, it should be corrected in the next release. The wallpaper changer/monitor now waits 30 seconds after startup before trying to change anything. This should allow your system to get setup correctly before DisplayFusion changes anything. :)

Hey GhostGum, What are you using GM for if you dont mind me asking? I use it a little as well... Never moved it to the second monitor though... I use it for any work I do with Mushroom Kingdom Fusion.

Thank you for the reply Jon, im happy to hear independent taskbar position is on todo list, good for us that use tasbar on side instead of top/bottom. i chucked displayfusion startup in a batch file to wait 30 secs, until next version.

Pyrobob, my current project is an online game server, im writing in C#. Im using gamemaker to make the client. Current game is an online team tower defence / top down shooter. No public release yet :/. Mushroom Kingdom Fusion looks fun, im downloading now.
