Hi,
Sometimes my Outlook reminder popup gets buried on a different virtual desktop. Is there a trigger or custom code that will always move the window to Desktop 1, Monitor 2.1?

Hi Daniel,

We have a script in our repository that you can download (DisplayFusion Settings > Functions > Scripted Function > Download Scripted Function) called "Set Outlook Reminder Windows Always On Top & Move to Center (ignore splits)".

Lines 43-47 of that script move the window to the center of your monitor ignoring all splits, but you can delete those and adjust it to

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Window.MoveToMonitor(2.1, window)

You can then attach the script to a trigger so it launches when DisplayFusion starts.

Hope that helps!

So far, the script works as advertised. However, it does sometimes pop the window on Desktop 2 if I'd been working there, and returned to Desktop 1. Can the code be tweaked to always land the popup on Desktop 1?

Hi Daniel,

How often does the popup not get moved?

Thanks!
