Hi,

I am not sure if this is even a possible scenario, sorry in case it's a stupid question

Question: Is it possible to turn off the second or third monitor while not having the running windows and apps transfer over to the primary monitor (or any other monitor in case of more than 2 monitor setup). So when you press the combination it turns it off and I can turn it back on and start from where I left off?

To get a better idea why, here is the scenario:

Let's say I am working on some confidential data in the office which the other person isn't authorized to look at (let's say Payroll data for example) and when they come over I want to turn off the second monitor on which this/these applications are running. I want just the second monitor to be turned off while all the applications are as is and when he/she leaves turn it back on and resume from there. If I physically turn off the monitor (also not looking for a solution that involves manual monitor turn off) the application will shift to first monitor. Furthermore, minimizing is not the option I am looking for as they can read the titles in the taskbar (which I don't want them to).

P.S: BFS.General.SleepMonitors() function put all monitors to sleep instead of just one (the required one).

It looks like the Fade All Monitors Except the Primary Monitor to Black scripted function can do what you want

Worked like a charm

Will see through the code to amend the part which turns all monitors off to turn off only the desired monitor!

Thanks.

To add to my previous comment, the script works perfectly. However, I am wondering if the script can be edited in a way that it gives a pop-up asking which monitor (shows list based on detected number of monitors) to fade out instead of all?
For Example:

Is this possible with DisplayFusion scripting?

Thanks.

I am unfortunately not aware of a settings which enables a pop-up box to work they way you intend.

I am sure Keith Lammers will have a definitive answer when he reads this topic which might take a couple of days.

Thanks Jeffen. Hopefully, Keith could give a definite answer

Hi Keith,

Is there a way to make this happen?

Thanks,

Thanks Keith. You rock
