Hello, first time user here and currently testing DisplayFusion and its taskbar features (as Win 11 stripped almost all of them :/)

I have a setup of three monitors and want to have a taskbar on each one and was able to do this with DisplayFusion.
Also I need the main monitor taskbar position to be on top of the screen. There's where my first problem is. I can't set the position of the 'main' or 'Windows Taskbar'. There is a setting that states: 'Show DisplayFusion taskbar on Windows taskbar monitor' but after activating it, right clicking the taskbar still shows the Windows takbar menu and not the one of DisplayFusion.
How can I reposition the taskbar on my main monitor with DisplayFusion?

Some problems I found while testing:
The animation speed of both auto-hide and thumbnail preview (peek) is way too slow for me. There are settings 'Auto-Hide Animation' which disables the animation of auto-hide, good, and 'Disable Thumbnail Preview Animation', which doesn't only disable the animation but the thumbnail preview completely, not so good.
Is there any way to disable just the animation of thumbnail preview (or at least tweak the speed of it)?

The thumbnail preview of DisplayFusion doesn't show multimedia buttons of media players. That's not super important but a neat little feature to have.

Right clicking the Windows logo on the taskbar always reveals the menu on the main monitor.

Okay, a restart fixed that but it's pretty much unusable as:

- it doesn't replace the Windows taskbar
- it doesn't show pinned programs
- it pops up randomly (even when auto hide is disabled)
- it doesn't align with the edge (it appears with an offset like 1/4 in the monitor)

Additional things I noticed:
The Windows menu opens first on the main monitor (flashes up) before showing up on the active monitor, same with the tray menu (sometime it's not movs over at all and stays on the main screen).

The taskbar context menu of DisplayFusion is quite cluttered and I whish I could remove some entries like: Help, About, Restart DisplayFusion, Language and all the settings that are not relevant for the taskbar like Screensaver and such. If I need those settings, I always could start the DisplayFusion settings, so there's no need to have them in the taskbar in my opinion.
Even the screen configuration is unnecessary there as it's redundent to the context menu entry on the desktop.
I understand, everyone has his own preferences, so having the option to unclutter that menu would be nice.

DisplayFusion does not replace the Windows taskbar. It relies upon it existing to enhance its own taskbars on other monitors. Since Microsoft does not allow the taskbar to be on top, DisplayFusion does nothing about this. -- Other programs can replace the primary taskbar and usually remain compatible with DisplayFusion's secondary taskbars.

No other secondary taskbar even has tray icons, so there is some unfortunate jankyness in getting the icon overflow to appear at the right place with DisplayFusion. -- I guess there is a similar mechanism involved in getting the Start menu to appear near the DisplayFusion taskbar. The only way to avoid that is to use a real Windows taskbar where Windows will place it properly. -- Same with the notifications flyout & right-clicking Start.

DisplayFusion has its own lists of pinned programs. The Windows taskbar and DisplayFusion taskbar can both have pinned items, but they are not directly linked. If you want them to be the same, pin them that way. While there is a user-interface to manage task pins in DisplayFusion... I don't find it faster than dragging something to a monitor and pinning it.

There are a few things in the taskbar context menu that are awkward to get anywhere else if at all. It does more than just DisplayFusion "settings" things... but also Windows system things. I use the context menu from DisplayFusion relatively often and find the basic Windows one to be near-useless.

Thanks for your answer!



I tried ActualMultipleMonitors before which does this but brings its own set of problems.
Currently I'm running a Windhawk mod alongside DisplayFusion, which also is quite janky.

I still hope for Microsoft to release a proper compatibility with multi monitor setups like it used to be (more than now anyway) but after how many years of Win11, I don't really belive it will happen.



Yeah, I agree but some settings are just redundant in a way that doesn't make too much sense like wallpaper and display configuration. They are already in the context menu of the desktop. Changing language settings in this menu is still the most weird for me.
Screensaver also is odd. I thought you could have one active screensaver per monitor if that monitor isn't in use for x amount of time but if it starts the screensaver for all, it doesn' make much sense to me.

As I said, probably the best would be being able to configure this menu to personal needs.
