Hi, DisplayFusion is a great app!!

So... After adding a second screen, there is a problem with window alignment.
I set my main screen "Landscape" on the left, second screen "Portrait" on the right.
Using DisplayFusion to do window alignment, there is always a small gap between two screens on both screens. There is also an overlap between two apps on the main screen.

How can I manage this problem?

By the way, there is also a problem with windows builtin window alignment on the second screen but no problem on main screen...(3rd picture)

I can think of a solution that is using a custom scripted function that move window to a specific x,y location of "all" screens (not working area) and size the window.
But I don't know how to do that, can someone help me with this?

So when using "Window Position Profiles", setting the window bounds to "X=3833, Y=0, W=1094, H=925" can move the window to exactly position I need.
How can I translate this to scripted function?

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {        
        BFS.Window.SetSizeAndLocation(windowHandle, 3833, 0, 1094, 925);
    }
}

Here is the code I modified from a scripted function, but it still has the gap.

Thanks! Can you do a test for me? If the windows that are supposed to be on the portrait monitor are on the landscape monitor, and you load the Window Position Profile, does it work?

Yes! The X fits my need, no gap. However, the screen arrangement has to be top aligned if Y remains 0.

Ok, thanks! I'll need to check in with our developers on this. The gap when using custom/scripted functions is expected, as it's a workaround for a Windows 10 scaling bug. That workaround is used when using monitors of different scaling levels.

What I'm not clear on is why there's no gap with the Window Position Profiles. When I load mine, I run into the scaling bug, so it seems that the Window Position Profiles should have that gap as well, but I'm surprised to hear that they work completely on your system.

I'll update this thread when I've got some more news.

Thanks!

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!
