Spring Sale for DisplayFusion Pro
Not an all time low, but a good deal still. I have been using the trial and going to upgrade, makes using all the Dell Monitors I've been buying easier to use (Love you Keanu xo)

Recommend making sure Power Toys and Fancy Zones doesn't suit your needs before purchasing Display Fusion. Basic users will probably find it adequate.
Yeah adding to that, if you actually did buy Dell monitors the Dell Display Tool is a good alternative to FancyZones
+1 for Fancy Zones.
If you check out David Zhang on YouTube (decent youtuber for productivity / set-up content), he actually switched from Display Fusion to Fancy Zones (even though Display Fusion is certainly more powerful).
Agreed. I have a triple monitor set-up with all different panels and resolutions (including the OzB favourite Xiaomi Mi, a normal panel set up as a vertical, and the laptop they run off/are docked to), and FancyZones makes it awesome.
I've got this installed and I never used it, what does it even do?
Windows 10 already does most of this right?
now, yes. Wasn't long ago it didn't group multi-monitor taskbar icons.
I have a global license for work because of productivity benefits (seconds per user per hour) but W10 filled the gaps now. Well worth the $2k for 5,000 users, at the time, though :-D
Stardock Fences is something that I still want as standard
It seems it's only useful if you have one big ultra wide monitor 32 inch. I already have a dual monitor setup at home
should have asked it before purchasing and installing 😊
I did not purchase it 😊
And it also violates ozbargain visions of "buy now ask questions later"
lol
Windows only?
One thing to be aware is with cloud computing being big these days it the shortcuts to resize windows 50/50 70/30 60/40 etc don't work as you need the programs like display fusion, power tools etc running on host machine.
Though just for Office + web browser where I seem to do most of my screen splitting it works perfectly.
Loved this program, but had continual issues of windows randomly switching which seemed to be an issue others had on windows 10. It would cause me to almost do things like type my password into a chat and send it to someone, but was all around very annoying. The features are great, but that bug made me uninstall.
Are you sure it wasn’t Windows grabbing focus and assigning it at an inconvenient time, like it tends to do? That’s been a constant PITA since forever. Just let me choose the damn focus, already!!
Well it never happened again after I uninstalled it! I searched far and wide beforehand trying many fixes before realising it could be this program.
I guess this is why some developers love Microsoft, endless opportunity for graft
yes, you should move to mac where you only need about 3 different paid apps to get your mouse working properly.
yes, the hundreds of threads on stack overflow around trying to get osx mouse acceleration and scroll wheel working properly are all figments of my imagination.
@oznik: I've been using Macs since the end of System 7 (Apple ][ clones before that). I have never experienced difficulty with 3rd party mouses in OSX.
Maybe you're holding your mouth wrong?
@0jay: maybe your operating your mouth wrong?
from my comment below:
the scroll wheel handling is terrible, and the tracking speed can only be set to sloth mode at most via preferences, you need to drop to terminal to change to >5 tracking speed, which wouldnt be so bad if you didnt need to log out and back in to apply it, so you are kinda (profanity) if you have different speed mice at work and home and dont want to close all your apps when you go into the office or back home again.
@oznik: Yeah I got that comment, doesn't really sound like you're an average user. Scroll wheel operation was shit but where wasn't it shit? There are things that are not ideal but things are rarely ideal.
@0jay: no probably not, i should just go out and buy duplicate terrible apple mice rather than use the perfectly fine ones i already own.
@oznik: People have been ragging on Apple mouses since before Windows came out.
1st gen iMac mouse? 1st gen Mighty Mouse? They often screw it up.
You've got no argument here.
@0jay: The opportunity for graft comment made me laugh as our work has users that cant even get their 4k monitors working anymore after big sur and other users needing to go without their laptop for 4 weeks to fix broken touch bar function keys.
I dont align my self worth with microsoft or apple, and will praise and shit on their products as justified.
@oznik: Yeah I haven't even touched 11 since a regrettable upgrade to 10.15
There's been a period of decline in some areas that's really concerning but as you say it's all over and not confined to one company.
I do think Windows users are more commonly exploited by no value developers but the gap is closing for sure.
What are you talking about? I only needed two!
wait what?:-? what do you need to buy to get your mouse working on Mac?

I agree with someone above, powertoys may Suite and it's free

Check out Fancyzones by Microsoft. Free
Been looking for something that will let me play a game fullscreen on one monitor while being able to surf or watch videos on another. Some games don't have full screen windowed mode so playing full screen minimized/deactivates all other windows. Looks like displayfusion has a feature to prevent window deactivation. Will give it a shot.
Sounds like you want a borderless fullscreen program.
Borderless works if the game is being played at desktop resolution but I'm playing at custom resolution (eg. monitor is 1600p but game on 1080p) for now until GPU shortages are over.
Before you go spending money (DisplayFusion is worth it though), try downloading this. You can then run games in windowed mode, and this software will basically turn it into fullscreen borderless without locking your cursor or needing to Alt-Tab.
It should work with any sort of custom resolutions too, you'll just need to find a way to force windowed mode on some older games that don't support it officially through game settings (-f or whatever target command).
Tried displayfusion trial but with ghost recon wildlands on fullscreen, still can't use the second monitor. So will try your suggestion.
Hmm, is there a way to test it out without having to buy it through Steam? How do I run it from outside steam?
@chihaeru: It works well for it's purpose but I noticed fps took a hit (dropped from 37-39 fps on fullscreen 2560x1080 to 15-20 fps on windowed 2560x1080 with Borderless Gaming making it fullscreen) on Ghost Recon wildlands.
Bro how the hell you play game while you also browsing internet…..
Are you using your third hand or your feet….
That's some ninja skillz
Haha, when the game loads (GTA has notorious loading times) or when I'm waiting to respawn/be revived in coop games, might as well browse or keep a video playing. Also sometimes I need to look at walkthroughs so it helps to watch it on a separate screen.
I will recommend this software. Love the features. Buy it
2 weeks ago, BitsDuJour had Pro Personal, with unlimited personal computers for $20.07.
Is DisplayFusion comparable to MaxTo?
Oh man!! I was looking for the sale and even asked them. They werent sure, so I bought anyways.
Great software!
What are the chances of asking them to refund the difference lol
Anyone know if the personal license will work for 1-laptop, 2 homes?
Moving between my home and parent's home for example, 1 home laptop + 1 home desktop.
i had this, but its kinda useless now with the new powertoys
I have had this for about 15 months now, it come in a bundle of their other gear so I can't say I was looking for it. It works well for setting up my 7" monitor inside my PC case(currently using Rainmeter). The good news is they actually update and improve it as needed, which is getting somewhat rare these days.
Is the deal dead ?
One of the best multiple screens manager
