Is their anyway to get Alt+tab to show the open programs running on the non-primary monitor when using DF taskbar? IE: if you have open apps/windows on your 2nd monitor and using DF tasbar, only the apps on primary mon will show up on using alt +tab. But if you use the built in windows multimon support it will show all open apps across all monitors..

System Info:
Windows 10 Build 10240
displayfusion v7.2 Beta 9

This is unfortunately an issue with the Windows Alt+Tab handler, for some reason it won't show windows that don't have a button on the Windows taskbar. There are a couple of workarounds:

Set the DisplayFusion Taskbar Mode (Settings > Taskbar) to either "Windows taskbar shows all windows" or "All taskbars show all windows"
Enable the DisplayFusion Alt+Tab Handler on the Settings > Window Management tab

Hope that helps!

I can work with using taskbar mode. But The Alt+Tab Handler does not look to be working. I still get the default windows 10 Alt+Tab. At less I did something wrong. The DF services is running but I do have the hooks off. But turned them on for a min and it did not help.

Ah, you might need to restart DF after enabling the hooks and the Alt+Tab Handler before it will start working.
