When windows keep landing on the wrong screen, saved layouts and monitor-specific controls can make a multi-display desktop easier to manage. DisplayFusion adds taskbars, wallpaper controls, monitor profiles, and automation for arranging windows and responding to desktop events.
Taskbars, wallpaper, and monitor layouts
DisplayFusion can put a taskbar on each monitor, giving windows on secondary screens their own taskbar area. Wallpaper settings let you use images from your collection or choose from online sources. Monitor profiles save configuration settings so you can load a preferred setup when your display arrangement changes.
Monitor splitting divides one physical display into virtual monitors, each with its own taskbar, wallpaper, and screen saver. Padding settings account for the bezels between displays when arranging content across a multi-monitor surface.
How can it arrange windows and react to events?
Window Position Profiles save the size and placement of open windows. Loading a profile restores that arrangement, which is handy for returning to a familiar layout after moving windows around.
For quicker moves and resizing, use built-in window functions or create custom ones. Hotkeys and title-bar buttons can trigger those functions. Triggers respond to events such as a window opening or gaining focus, the desktop unlocking, or the system becoming idle; an event can run a preset command or a custom script.
Focus and remote controls
Monitor Fading dims inactive monitors or windows to draw attention to the active work area. The feature can also dim all monitors or leave the active window undimmed while fading the rest.
DisplayFusion’s remote-control feature lets a phone or tablet change wallpaper, toggle monitors, and access other controls. Windows-specific tweaks are available too, including options to hide the lock screen and adjust desktop menus.
