Hello,

first of all let me say: excellent piece of software! Helped simplify some things i always wanted to.

Now to my problem:
As i updated from 7.1 to 7.3.1 the size of the taskbars on my external monitors changed.

Specs:
Windows 8.1
Internal 18" Laptop Display (1920x1080)
2 x External 24" Displays via DisplayPort (1920x1080) (Left & Right)

The taskbars on my external monitors were always scaled properly (they were just physically bigger, but the same height in pixels) Which is what i want.

Now the taskbars are physically the same height (however this is accomplished) but differ in pixel height!

Which first of all doesnt look good and secondly everything is way too small.
(Setting up the size manually and trying to get the exact height in pixels does not work, because the icons do not scale with it....)

Also the "jumplists" (in German its "Sprunglisten") became a lot smaller and difficult to read...

I hope somebody can help me, i have included 3 screenshots.

Old version (the way i want it to be): http://i.imgur.com/Y30LZJ2.png
New version (pixels dont match): http://i.imgur.com/2dGW20b.png
New version with changed taskbar on the right (does not work properly): http://i.imgur.com/r6iRJNl.png
(Zoom on the splits of the screens to see it)

Thank you very much in advance,
Lubi

Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?
  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
  • Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
  • Reply with the file attached

Thanks! It looks like this is due to your Primary monitor being scaled by Windows (to 125%) whereas the second and third monitor are not scaled (100%). We recently updated DisplayFusion to respect the independent scaling values per monitor, which is why they now match in size, but not pixels.

At the moment, there's two ways you could fix this:
  • Set the scaling level to "Smallest" in the Windows display settings
  • Roll back to DisplayFusion 7.2: https://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/DisplayFusion/DisplayFusionSetup-7.2.exe

Ok, i might rollback to DF 7.2, thanks!

Will a feature be implemented in the future to choose which way DisplayFusion should go?
I would really like that.

Thanks again for the great support,
Lubi

There's actually an Advanced Setting in DF that will allow you to force the font scaling level, but it's broken in the current version. We'll have it all fixed up for the next beta, and then you should be able to force it to 1x1 :)
