DisplayFusion 9.7.0 Beta 16 Now Available!

WARNING: You currently have Javascript disabled!
This website will not function correctly without Javascript enabled.

We're very excited to announce that DisplayFusion 9.7.0 Beta 16 is now available for download! This version fixes a bunch of minor issues, as well as the Digital Blasphemy wallpaper source.

Important Notes!

The first time you open the Settings > Screen Saver tab after installing this version, it will be very slow to open, due to Windows Defender locking the .scr files for a long time during the initial scan.
If the auto-updater fails to run, please try disabling your anti-virus before running the updater.

Bitdefender reporting the following when installing this beta:

"The file C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\is-JQ6E1.tmp is infected with Gen:Variant.Graftor.714995 ..."

Never had any issue with prior versions. I assume this is a false positive, just wanted to report it.

On my system with three monitors, made one by nVidia Surround and split again with DisplayFusion into three, this beta has messed up the taskbar. The Windows tasbkar is spread across all three monitors with DF taskbars drawn overtop.
Previous DF releases worked normally. Reverting to DF 9.6.1 also solves the issue.

Similar problem here! With Beta 16 taskbar is messed up:

- One monitor, split in 2 areas
- Windows standard taskbar keeps disappearing (hidden in background)
- Disabling taskbar option in DP Beta 16 solves problem

No problems with Beta 15.

Can you provide Beta 15 download please?
Downgraded to latest 9.6 now, but would prefer to stay with beta version.

same as the other reports. when unhiding the central taskbar, it breifly opens at the correct width, then suddenly spreads across all 3 displays. The two displayfusion bars on the side displays function as normal.

Can recent beta versions ALL be made available for download somewhere? This is the 3rd or 4th time I've had a need to downgrade due to a new bug introduced but haven't been able to until someone gets around to posting a link (and there's too many issues fixed since to go back to the last stable).

We'll be posting 9.7 Beta 17 today to fix this issue. If you need to roll back to Beta 15 for now, please use this link: https://www.binaryfortress.com/Data/Download/?OldVersion=1&DownloadID=10ef05a3-b0b6-4a20-a873-0f3cb72cb6ac

Regarding the Bitdefender false positive, we're not getting any hits with our antivirus apps here, and we always check them before we post them. The "Variant.Graftor" looks to be a heuristic detection, so they must have something in their heuristics that doesn't like something we're doing with the hooks. We'll try reporting it as a false positive to them. If the Bitdefender client gives an easy way to report it, we'd be grateful if you all submitted it as well
