I have two buttons on my taskbar - Pin (make a window stay always on top) and Transparency (custom; sets window transparency to 75%).
I recently wanted to pin and make transparent the Windows calculator on top of another app, but when the calculator app launches - no DisplayFusion buttons! Not sure if this is by design (the calculator window is small and can't be resized), but it got me to thinking about some features that might be nice:
1) A way to access some of the hotkeys and other DisplayFusion options from the standard Windows menu (the icon on the left of most windows that generally has RESTORE/MOVE/SIZE/etc. on it when you click it) - yes, I realize I could assign actual keyboard hotkeys, but I tend to think in terms of the mouse and menus
2) A way to combine multiple hotkeys into one (i.e., one button to pin a window AND make it transparent, rather than two)
3) FWIW, it would be nice if the DisplayFusion buttons could come up on the calculator, although the above two options would take care of my particular needs
If these exist and I'm just blind, let me know.
Thanks!

Interesting! When I have two TitleBar Buttons configured, they show up on the Windows Calculator. Few questions for you:
- Do you have only two TitleBar Buttons configured, or do you have other ones configured that you don't use?
- What version of Windows are you running?
- Are you using the higher DPI/font scaling settings in Windows?
Thanks!
Ok cool, good to know. I think I have a solution that may work even better:
In your situation you have 4 buttons configured, but only 2 would fit on the Calculator window. If we could display the first 2 configured buttons (or however many would fit on the window), then you could use them, and you'd also be able to right-click them and run any of the other hotkey actions as well.
How's that sound?
Ok cool, we'll most likely implement my suggestion first, and I've added yours to our feature request list. At the moment we don't have any plans to modify the application context menus, but if we do, we'll look at adding the hotkeys as an option.
Thanks!
Just a quick follow-up: if the window is too small to fit all of the configured TitleBar Buttons, it will still display as many as it can, starting with the buttons on the far left.
Thanks!
