Hey guys, question.
I stream and would like to be able to disable my monitors taskbar I use for output (monitor 3 of a 4 monitor setup) when I have to have a game in windowed mode (due to the game, not supporting full screen/borderless) and I don't really want to have the systray icons visible for the world to see (and I don't want to crop my OBS view just for the odd random game)
I'd like to be able to set up a *.bat file maybe, that calls Displayfusion to say "Hey, turn off the taskbar for monitor 3" and then at the end, I could have another one (*.bat) that I could turn it back on.
Is this possible at all, or you know of a manual workaround?
Thanks for the app guys.
Regards
PJ
Hello,
If you create a scripted function with the following line:
BFS.DisplayFusion.DisableTaskbar(Monitor number);
You can then call if with our command line tool like this:
DisplayFusionCommand.exe -functionrun "ScriptName"
You can find our command line guide here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-command-line-tool-displayfusioncommandexe/?ID=06d90ec9-5e5a-4be2-8540-6b52fbb4536e#first
And if you have any other questions, I would be happy to help you out.
Thanks!
Hello,
You'll want to create that scripted function within DisplayFusion. I've created one for you that will disable the taskbar on monitor 3. You can import it by opening the DisplayFusion Settings window > Functions > Scripted Function > Import Scripted Function.
Once you have it imported into DisplayFusion, you can call it in your .bat file like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -functionrun "DisableTaskbar3"
Thanks!

Ohhhhh, silly me [facepalm]
Understand it now, and I've tweaked and made one to 'enable' too
I really appreciate your help and support with this issue.
Also, now understanding the 'scripting' part (sort off) I'll look at the other items and see if there anything that might help me.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
