I have been using DF for several years now and have loved the advancement thus far. Thank goodness for developers and companies like this that make life easier for people that constantly wonder how things could be made better. Thank you!
Several times a week, I have to conduct a meeting that requires a screen share. Since Lync shows the lines where splits are applied on a shared screen, I have a separate Monitor Configuration Profile that I switch to just prior to me meeting that takes away the splits on the monitor that I share out.
The problem is that I currently am in a situation where I like to work in a high contrast theme. Unfortunately high contrast themes throw off people that are not accustomed to that. In addition, Microsoft (in their infinite wisdom and seemingly infinite resources)and their Excel spreadsheet product refuses to play nice with high contrast themes and removes all color from spreadsheets. This means that I have to switch to a non-high contrast theme to properly display a spreadsheet. Can an option to change a saved theme be added to the monitor configuration profile options so that I do not have to find other means to control this?
It should still be possible to do that. Do you just have the two Monitor Profiles, or do you have more? Also, which of those were the Monitor Profile names? Home-Dev and Home-ScreenShareFriendly, or EyeSaverFinal and RegularFinal?

I realized I didn't mention that I use Windows 8.1. Apologies for not including that.
I only use 2 profiles most often and those are the ones I usually switch to and from. I also have a windows theme saved for each setup that I switch to and from. I am not sure if that matters but I will also include the name that I saved them as(shows up under My Themes).
Monitor Profile 1 (Most Used)
DF Monitor Profile Name: Home-Dev
Desired Windows Theme: High Contrast Black
Desired Windows Theme Saved Name: EyeSaverFinal
Key Combination: Ctrl+Shift+1
Monitor Profile 2
DF Monitor Profile Name: Home-ScreenShareFriendly
Desired Windows Theme: Windows Default Theme
Desired Windows Theme Saved Name: RegularFinal
Key Combination: Ctrl+Shift+2
No worries, thanks! I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to write up a script for this. I think we'll need to add a function to the scripting API for this to work though, so it may take a bit as I'll have to wait for the next beta.

Thank you for doing this, and so quickly.
I feel kind of silly asking, but I cannot seem to access the attachments. They come up as [Protected], which I assume means that only you and I can access them. Although I am logged in as myself, I cannot figure out how to download them. Am I missing something obvious?

Your scripts worked right away with no modification and they do what I need. The only thing I noticed was that my screens go blank for about 4 seconds while the transition is being made, but it's completely livable, and I'm happy. Thank you again for your help!
No worries, glad to hear it!
