I updated to DF 9.0 and ever since the Alt-Tab "screen" is missing the icons for each pgm on the second screen.

That is, on the primary screen, when I press Alt-Tab, there is a little pop-up window with miniature versions of each window I can switch to. In the lower right corner of each is the icon associated with the program its running. On the secondary monitor, however, that little icon is missing.

Because I have a lot of windows which are basically "text on white background", it is *very* difficult to tell which is which without the icon (is it Programmer's File Editor? Programmer Studio? WinSCP? Outlook? Excel?).

This is new to DF 9.

I've attached a picture of the issue (it's really terrible quality because the only way I could think of to get it is a cellphone photo while holding down Alt-Tab but I think you can get the idea.)

Looks like a Windows icon cache issue to me, try restarting your PC, and if that didn't work, you can go into your "C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local" folder and delete the "IconCache.db" file then restart "explorer.exe" and/or restart the PC and see if that clears the issue up.

Restarting didn't help. It would seem odd that the icon cache would be the problem -- it works fine on the left monitor but not the right. It was also working fine prior to the Display Fusion update.

I wasn't able to reproduce this here, it's very strange! If you change the Alt+Tab mode to "Show on Current Monitor Only" are the icons still blank when you open it on the second monitor?

Setting the Alt+Tab mode to "Show on current monitor only" (either "all windows" or "current windows") it does show the icons when the cursor is on the second monitor.

This is Win10 with two 24" monitors set to portrait mode. I'm not sure what other info would help.

Thanks for looking into this.

Interesting! Could you try this test build and let me know if you still have the icon issue when it's set to show on all monitors?

Ok, thanks for trying it out! Can you try rolling back to 8.1.2 (https://www.displayfusion.com/OldVersion/) to confirm that it's fine there?

Works great with 8.1.2 (I can post a screenshot if you need it.)

I'll stick with 8.1.2, unless you need me to do more testing on 9?

Thanks,

Roger

Ok, that's good for now. I'll have to figure out what info would be helpful before I get you to do more testing :)

Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info? (From 8.1.2 is fine)
  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
  • Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
  • Reply with the file attached

Aha! I was able to reproduce it now. I had to disable the "Show window text below each Alt+Tab item" option to see this issue. I've added this to our list to fix up.

Thanks!

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version (https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!
