Hi. Just wanted to report an "issue" I have been facing. When I have the monitor fading option enabled and my screen is faded as it should, however if I receive a notifcation from Windows, the fading then disables and enables itself quickly a few times, what I would describe as a "flicker". It's just more annoying than anything else.

Thanks.

This is a Windows bug with windows that are translucent (like the full screen translucent windows we create for the fading feature). You can work around it by disabling Windows Settings > Personalization > Colours > Transparency Effects.

Hope that helps!

Hey thanks Kieth. I went ahead and disabled the Windows feature you mentioned but unfortunately it made absolutely no difference.

Ah yep, my bad. I was thinking of a different issue where the taskbar flickers when notifications are shown. This one is caused by the same root .NET Framework bug, but there isn't currently a workaround :(

If we're able to find a way around it in the future, we'll definitely let you know!

Hey! Are you guys any closer to resolving this issue? Its now at the stage where I cannot use the monitor fading function as the strobe light blinking isnt tolerable any longer. Thanks.

Unfortunately not, but there is a workaround:

  • Go to the Windows Settings
  • Search for "performance"
  • Click on "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows"
  • On the Visual Effects tab, disable the "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" option

Hope that helps!

Hi Keith,

Unfortunately I have to add another reply to this thread, as it appears this issue has raised itself again.

Your previous reply to me actually seemed to fix the issue at the time. Im just realising I never responded to that - my apologies.

I have just checked and I still have that option unticked, but yet this issue is still present.

I am currently using the most up to date version of Windows 10 Professional x64, and just yesterday updated my version of DisplayFusion as well.

In the 'About' section of the DisplayFusion software the details are:

DisplayFusionPro 9.9
Windows 10 or Server 2016 (20H2) (10.0.19043.0)

Thanks.

I tested this out on my end and it seemed to work okay. Did the issue start when you updated to v9.9?

Thanks!

Hey, no I originally posted this issue back in May 2020. What was your testing methodology? I am noticing that it seems to be happening when I use the Brave browser. Right now I am using Chrome and it doesnt seem to be doing it.

Sorry let me re-word my last question: Did the issue come back after updating to v9.9?

I tested by enabling monitor fading (with the "Fade All Monitors" mode), and then open and closed the start menu a few times with and without that animation setting disabled. After disabling it, the issue seemed to go away.

Thanks!
