Windowblinds + multiple monitors + displayfusion

or not?

from Stardock Forums

Hello All! first post!  proud ObjectDesktop owner, absolutely love Windowblinds.

 

BUT ... I upgraded to windows 7 when the RC came out, just now finding the beta of WB7 to allow for usage after months of no skinning :-(

that part is awesome, the problem:

 

I use a program called "DisplayFusion" , that, among other things, allows me to span a taskbar across all of my monitors , it also shows only the application on that monitor on  that taskbar, saving me time, space, and confusion,

when i enable a windowblinds 7 beta skin (6 won't work with W7 at all, so can't compare) , my taskbar disappears from the other monitors, staying only on the main display.

I realize this is technically 3rd party supprt, and i understand if you have nothing to do with it.  I was hoping someone had some answers, even if it requires some work or manual tweaking, I'm up for it.  the thing is multi-monitor taskbars and displayfusion are critical for my work, windowblinds is just a nice extra.  if i have to choose, i no longer get to use WB , and that will suck.

 

please help :-) thanks in advance

Kyle

I was able to get the taskbar to display by unloading displayfusion, loading windowblinds, applying the skin, and re-loading display fusion.

 

so i guess it is just a technical glitch , the capability is there, i just have to find the proper way and order to load them on windows start so that i don't have to interfere, load/reload, etc.  any suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks!

It's most likely because Displayfusion is semi-incompatible with WB.

I personally use UltraMon, which works fine with WB on both Vista and Win7.
