A small problem to report: there is a noticeable screen flicker on the primary monitor when wallpaper image changes on the secondary monitor. That flicker is rather annoying since in my two-monitor setup that image changes every minute.

Thanks!

I don't notice any flickering on any of my test machines, perhaps your video card isn't handling the wallpaper transition (fade in/out) properly?

If you disable the "Use transitions when changing wallpaper" option in the Wallpaper Settings, does the flickering go away?

Thanks for getting back Keith, this kind of attention to customers is great :)

The flicker is not as consistent as I originally thought, it comes and goes. But when it's there it is always on the transition on the secondary monitor. I will try to see if I can catch a repeatable situation. Meanwhile I will also try your suggestion.

BTW - any comments regarding suggestions in my prior post on features?

No problem! I did see your other post with the suggestions, just haven't had a chance to go through it yet, but I'll definitely have a look at it today.

Thanks!

I narrowed it down to Outlook as opposed to transitions on the secondary monitor as I thought originally. The flicker happens only just after Outlook updates its status and:

- Outlook window is open on the primary screen (not minimized) and is behind whatever active window I happen to be working with at that time, and
- DisplayFusion is running (I always run it with two monitors and a different wall paper on each displaying pictures from a local drive in the random mode, primary changes per hour, secondary per minute

No big deal really, just a bit annoying.

Ok, could you test out DisplayFusion 3.5 Beta 1 and let me know if the problem still exists?

Thanks!
