Hey all!
For the past few releases, I've been seeing the DF taskbar buttons freeze after it's been running for several hours. That is, you close a window on the 2nd Monitor that has the DF taskbar but the button remains and is unclickable. The DF taskbar will gradually fill up with these. This is on both my work machine (DELL/NVIDIA) and home (AMD/ATI). After this, the background of the taskbar starts taking on odd colors as well (probably the color of windows that were drug over it...)
Otherwise, this rocks!
Anyone else seeing this?

Very strange... if you go into the Settings window, then click "Ok" it should refresh the taskbars. Does this fix it? Can you turn on the "Debug logging" option on the troubleshooting tab and post the log file here (as an attachment preferably) the next time it happens? I'd like to take a look through it and see if there are any errors being handled silently.
Update: The log will be stored in your "My Pictures\DisplayFusion" folder. I'm going to add an "Open log folder" button in Beta 14 to make finding it easier.
Do you have the debug logging enabled? I would love to see what is happening while it is locked up.
I use Notepad++ at home at work as well and I've never had the issue you are describing. If the issue happens again can you post the debug log so I can take a look at it?
Thanks!
Have to agree with Jon - I too use Notepad++ - however, there are a bunch of plugins for npp as well - Ben, you using any additional plugins?
Just a thought....
I am I.
I have added a ton more debug logging to Beta 14. If you have any repeatable issues, just open the Settings window and goto the Troubleshooting tab. From there you can enable "debug logging". It will log important things and errors to the debug log which you can send to me after something unexpected happens (like the button freezes). I can look through the look and try to piece together what happened.

I should add to the end of this post that after (one by one) closing all apps so there were no taskbar buttons, I was getting "Error @ GetButton: No333" in the log file each time XP came back from screen saver mode. So, apparently no issues with particular programs were causing the frozen taskbar buttons I was seeing...
On to beta 14!
