Hello all. I had DisplayFusion on an older install a while back. I now have the updated version on a different install.
I am facing some problems.
For example, when I try to drag a Chrome window from one monitor to the other, I have to drag my the window off the desktop, and all the way to the middle of the next monitor for it to snap. I remember being able to simply pull and throw the window to the next screen with ease, the window would unhook and then just snap itself to the next monitor with very little "force" from me. What setting is making it behave like this?
Also, I am new to Windows 8. The little bar on the right that pops up for the search and system settings and whatnot, is set to my left monitor. How do I get that bar to appear on the monitor to the right?
When I press the Windows key, it bring up the Metro UI, but on the left monitor. Gonna go ahead and take a wild guess... this issue and the issue above are connected. How would I get the Metro to be in the middle?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No. That is not the issue. I used to be able to very easily drag a window, and then release it at the edge of the next monitor, and the program would go back into fullscreen.
Now, I have to grab the screen, and drop the window off onto the next monitor, if I try putting it on the edge, it doesn't snap into place.
I'm ASSUMING that this is because of the retarded ass pop out sliders of Windows 8 on the left and right side. Instead of allowing me to drop the window, it's activating the slide out bar process.
Ah yes, that would do it. The mouse snags on the hot corners in Windows 8. I've put a feature request on our list for a way to bypass those corners, and if we're able to implement it in a future version, I'll be sure to let you know.
Thanks!

Yeah.. /: This is extremely annoying and I'd be very surprised if you guys didn't come up with a way to fix it. DisplayFusion is awesome and there's no limit to what software can do and DF is just an arsenal of tools and I'm very disappointed with this bug. It has basically reduced the fluidity of the software by about half, since generally I tend to throw my windows around.
Also, I set my iTunes to open on my left screen, yet the setting doesn't stick. Is this a known issue? It works when I close and open iTunes, but it doesn't work upon boot. I'm assuming that's because iTunes boots before the DisplayFusion setting for it kicks in?

. You'll need to left-click the lower-left corner on the monitor that you want the Start Screen/Search Charm to open on. Unfortunately, by design in Windows 8, they always open on the same monitor.
