Multimonitor wallpaper problem - Fences or DisplayFusion?

from Stardock Forums

Hi!

I'm using Fences and DisplayFusion together.
For icons and folder portals Fences and for windows and wallpaper handling DisplayFusion.

I have multimonitor system - 4 monitors - but new was connected yesterday and problem found.
It is old CRT SVGA type with resolution 800x600, other three have 1920x1200 each. New monitor is most left.

I was afraid that it will make disorder with Fences and folder portals, but all is ok.
Problem is in wallpaper. It looks like DisplayFusion problem, but I'm not sure - I posted this also on their forum 'cause really don't know what is problem.

Wallpaper on most left monitor is overlapped by next monitor wallpaper - but not only this - there is also shown part of Fences folder portal which is displayed correctly at the next monitor, but on overlapping area it is inactive.

So, where can be problem? Really I'm missing any idea...

Thank you all for each help, suggestion, reply or comments.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. From reading this https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#multimonitor . I think it safe to say that Fences is not really compatible with DisplayFusion on Multimonitors.

Thank you,

So, in DisplayFusion forum I received how to do it and it works not.

I want to reinstall Windows 10 after 20H1 update and I'm Looking for DisplayFusion replacement.
I found very good solution - Actual Window Manager.

I want to be sure before I buy it that is compatible with Fences, so is compatible?

Thank you in advance.

Not really sure if it is or not. But, you can try using it since it has a trial version.

Ok, for trying I give nothing.

I will reply to this thread after Windows 10 new installation.
It can be useful for many users which can have similar problem. I know that it is longer time - 20H1 update will be released around March, but I hope it will be useful.

Thank you for your support.

So, I have new installation and some settings done.

I used new multimonitor software replacing DisplayFusion and it is Actual Window Manager - wallpapers and other problems are away.

So, reality is that problem is DisplayFusion. I was sad but at installing and customizing AWM I see that it is much more powerful solution than DF, but I must to say that DF is great software and I was satisfied.
