Hello,
yesterday I bought displayfusion pro license. So far I like it very much, but I also have 4 problems which I can't solve by myself.
I have Windows 8 with Start8 and 2 monitors, one 1920x1080 (primary), the other is 2560x1440 (secondary).
Problem number 1: I can't force Start button to work on secondary monitor. On primary Start button works as classic start from previous Windows systems, coz I set it like that. No matter what I do start button on secondary screen opens Windows 8 menu (Metro).
Problem number 2: Right now when I open applications on secondary screen they always open on primary screen unless the application was closed on secondary screen. I know I can force applications to open on specified monotor but I would really like applications to open on the monitor I am operating. I have some shortcuts on one screen and some on another. Is it is possible?
Problem number 3:Windows 8 Menu (Metro) - is it possible to choose on which monitor it will open? It always opens on primary screen. I would love to have a possibility of opening it on the screen I choose. And then when I click in Metro to open an application I would like to open it on the screen where Windows 8 Menu was active.
Problem number 4: I play games on primary screen (1920x1080). When Alt+Enter the game I can then drag it to the secondary screen. But when I maximize the game it comes back to primary screen. I can't force games in fullscreen mode to work on secondary screen. I even tried forcing some games to open on specified monitor and the result is rather funny: on primary monitor I have fullscreen game, on secondary I have windowed blackscreen game.

Thank you very much for your help.
#1. I attached screenshot to show you my settings in Start8.
#2. That solves my problem, all applications open as I wanted!
#3. I enabled the "Use mini Start Screen" and set the size to 1920x1080, but I can't move it between screens or open it on secondary screen. I also tried with different sizes.
#4. Yes, that works

#1: Ok, you'll need to change the second drop-down to "Windows Key Shows Start8 Menu." If you still want to open the Windows 8 Start Screen using the Windows key, you can enable the "Show the Windows 8 menu when I press the right windows key" option. Unfortunately Start8 doesn't work when we try to invoke it with a simulated mouse-click, so DisplayFusion has to use a simulated Windows key press to open it before moving it.
#3: The Start screen should automatically move to which ever screen the mouse cursor is on when it's opened. So if you press the Windows key on the second monitor, it should open over on the second monitor.
