I am running Win8 Enterprise RTM and DF 4.1

I have observed the following items thus far:

1) On my second monitor, I have the DF taskbar on the top.
When I have a RDC (remote desktop connection) window open full screen, the DF task bar remains on top and I can not get to the RDC control strip that also show on the top of the screen (but now underneath the DF taskbar).

2) on my second monitor, when I'm showing any Win9 store app (metro app), and I want to show the Charms on the right side, and I move my mouse cursor to the upper right corner which normally brings up the Charms, the "minimize all" button on the DF task bar intercepts the mouse position and you can not get the charms to show at all.

I'm happy to provide more info as needed.

Thanks!

I'll try the RDC workaround!

Additionally, add:

3) on second monitor, when using Lync, and share the 2nd monitor, the sharing control bar gets hidden behind the DF taskbar.
I tried the same setting you recommended for RDC, but that did not help.
My main Lync chat window is usually on 1st monitor, and I share my 2nd monitor.
The only way I can terminate sharing is a) disconnect the whole im/chat , or exit out of DF, turn of sharing, then turn DF back on.

For #2 and #3, it's as iff the DF taskbar is not properly reporting its "docked" space used, so applications still use the entire screen, and do not take the DF taskbar space into account.

As a friendly note, I realize that Win8 is brand new and there will be some of these things to work through.
Do not read these as 'complaints', but friendly observations to help get the product versioned for the future
I LOVE DF!!! and I LOVE WIN8.

Thanks,
Robert

On my main monitor
When I share it via Lync, the Sharing bar is overlaid on TOP of the Taskbar, covering up/hiding the middle of the Taskbar.

Also note that the z-order behavior is not affected by which monitor the chat window happens to be in.

Thanks,
Robert

It appears that the automatic task scheduling for switching between wallpaper profiles doesn't work too well with win8 either. My profiles are created, but when I hit run nothing happens, and nothing shows up in the history

A more expedient approach may be to sign up for an Office365 trial or account which will give you the full OCS/Lync capability without having to install the server components yourself.

Then, just install the Lync client and point it to your O365 account and your all ready for testing. 15 minutes flat!

Here's a new one...

4) on my second monitor, when displaying most any App Store (Metro) app, the DF toolbar is layered on TOP of the application hiding the very top of the app. For some apps, that's no problem as it is empty border space. For other apps, it covers over critical information and/or controls.

Regardless, the app always use the actual full screen realestate and the DF toolbar is always layered on top of the app.

You guys are awesome!

Fantastic!

I just installed B4 and will run it through its paces and report back...

Thanks!
Robert

Confirmed that task scheduler works great with Windows 8, thanks a lot!

Looking great.

Confirmed that the Metro apps now display on top of DF taskbar
etc.

The only think I have not tested yet is Lync monitor sharing...
The rest looks great

I will try to test tomorrow

I'm having a weird problem, ever since I installed the beta per the above request, and even now after installing the final release,

Every time I reboot/restart DF, it tells me that "you beta license is about to expire..."

I checked the registration page and it still shows my [very lengthy] license key.

Any suggestions?

Apologies for the delay in my testing response, production pressures

I have finally been able to do the Lync testing and it passed also
The DF toolbar move behind the Lync sharing window when Lync is full screen.

YEAH!

Many thanks for the great support and fast turnaround!
