I have three physical monitors merged in nVidia Surround. I currently use two DF monitor configuration profiles to quickly switch between having one large, bezel-corrected display and one large, non-bezel-corrected display Virtually re-split into three monitors by DF. Theoretically I should be able to switch between a gaming friendly setup and a work friendly setup with a few keystrokes as opposed to re-configuring surround in the nVidia control panel every time.

This I think is a major benefit of using display fusion! Or it would be if I could get it to work.

My main problem is that in the re-split profile. Window snapping does not properly respect the boarders of my splits. the Maximize function (pushing the window to the top of the screen / windows + up) USUALLY works after a few tries. I have yet to get the left-right snap functions (pushing window to the side / windows + left / windows + right) to work at all! So instead of getting the 960px wide window I want I end up with a 2880px wide window!

Is there also a way to get full-screen programs to respect monitor splits? My monitors are 16:10 so any full-screen media in 16:9 gets cut in three sections across my wide bezels.

How can I get window management to work better with virtual monitor borders?

Okay, yes, dragging a full screen window and just letting it go on a new split (as opposed to slamming it into the top of the monitor/split) works. That'll take some getting used to.

Is it possible to quickly switch between surround and normal extended desktop, maybe even binding surround/normal to different DF profiles? That would really solve all of my multi-monitor woes I think!

I believe DF disabled nVidia's processes that used to provide this functionality on the Windows+P key combination. If I recall, I had to let DF disable those processes because if I didn't a lot of other stuff behaved all wonky!

That helps!

I did however get an error when doing it that way (Which didn't seem to prevent it from working):

Necro post, but I'm having this issue too. If it's been resolved, it'd be nice if someone could post the solution for future searchers like myself.

Double-click to maximize usually works after a few tries, but dragging to the top doesn't.

It just always happens on my machine when I drag a currently-windowed window to the top; it stays in windowed mode and goes back to its previous position. It doesn't even move to the top of the screen.

If I drag a currently-maximized window to any other screen it will snap as expected.

Edit: Windows 7 64-bit, latest version of DisplayFusion. Happens on my 2560x1440 monitor split down the center into two.

I'm guessing you're splitting them into two double wide screens? If you're splitting them into two double tall screens, then Windows + Arrow Key is probably your best bet for getting it to quickly do what you want. I never did get the whole slamming the window into an edge of a DF virtual monitor to work.

Windows 10 has better support for slamming with physical monitors at least, so I can now slam to the inside edges as well as the outside. I set up DF profile selection hotkeys to work along side my NVidia Surround toggle hotkey for the fast switching, which alleviated most of my issues from before. When it takes about 5 seconds to switch between physical and surround setups I rarely need more splits, so I stopped working on the issue.

Edit:

The error message only occurs occasionally, and still happens on the new operating system.

It's split into two tall monitors, basically the same as what win+right and win+left would do. I would quite like to be able to work this without requiring the use of the keyboard, as I often use my computer with only the mouse.

I suppose I should note as well that I'm *not* using nvidia surround at all. I just have four monitors attached, *not* in surround.

Okay, here's my troubleshooting info.

Actually, now that you mention it, it's just happening with Google Chrome. Latest version.

I swear it was doing it with explorer earlier, but I just tested and it's not now. Just chrome.
