I've recently purchased DisplayFusion from Steam and so far my experience has been less than ideal. I am using Windows 10 and everything about it feels bolted on. I understand there will be some growing pains with a newish platform and I can be patient but the last issue I have run into is pushing me close to my limit.
I have attached a screenshot from my 1080p display as well as a copy of my troubleshooting log. The fonts are only barely readable. When I first installed, only the clocks were impossibly small which I 'fixed' by increasing the width of my task bar slightly. Now I can't remember where that setting was, let alone read the labels in order to properly navigate there. If only I could click and drag to size them like the straight-out-the-box taskbars. But that doesn't really have anything to do with the entire application going to 2pt fonts all of a sudden I don't imagine.
Another annoyance I might as well mention is how DisplayFusion is handling either of my on-screen keyboard options. I use a Steam controller when viewing content on my 43" 4k display from a distance. If I try to launch the Steam keyboard, it appears on my normal primary display, the 1080p (which is typically turned off in this use-case). So that's out. The Win10 included 'touch keyboard' is my second choice (not to be confused w/ the On-Screen keyboard), but sadly I don't have access to the button to launch it because that is only on my primary displays taskbar and I have not found a way to pin this to my Start menu. Basically, every time I use my TV, I have to change it to be the primary display. Kind of defeats the purpose of using DisplayFusion.
Are these issues on your radar already?

Hey thanks Keith. I appreciate the quick response, I know it took some time to write that up.
I'm on my work machine right now which is Win7. Do you know if osk.exe is the 'On-Screen keyboard', or the 'touch keyboard' that comes with Windows 10? (looking at the name I can guess the answer but with MS you never know). The On-Screen keyboard is OK, but my preference would be the touch one (which from what I can tell can only be launched from the built in taskbar button in Win10).
I must have spaced w/ respect to the steam controller business. That's a work in progress of it's own, hopefully they can flesh it out and get us some quality of life improvements in the near future. The DPI issue sorted itself after I changed my primary display again. I'd like to come up with a solution that will allow me to never alter my primary display choice. If I come across steps to reproduce I will report back.
Thanks again!
