RE: Main desktop icons move up when DF launches on 2nd monitor

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:54:53 GMT

This is expected behaviour. When the DisplayFusion taskbar (or any other application that creates a docked window at a screen edge) is loaded, Windows adjusts the desktop work area, which affects the desktop icon grid. Icons that are close the taskbar will bump up when this happens.

Please let us know if you have any further questions at all.

Thanks!

Ok thanks, we'll do some more testing here on this to try and reproduce it.

Main desktop icons move up when DF launches on 2nd monitor

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 04:17:50 GMT

As per the pics, when the DF taskbar appears on the 2nd screen, the icons just above the taskbar on the main screen move up a bit.

Sorry you're 100% correct, it's been a long time since reading the start of the thread and I forgot what the original post was.

I'm running a 5700x3D, but used to run a 5600X which had the same issue.

I installed the latest beta. The problem is still exactly the same.

RE: Systray and clock/date have no setting to adjust rows of icons/lines

For item #2, you could set a custom date format for the taskbar clock in the Settings > Advanced Settings, like the attached image.

Sorry, my bad on that. The original question for this topic was about issues when setting the mouse above 1000 Hz and I was taking over this thread so missed the extra details there. I will re-open this and we'll re-test again. So far we haven't been able to reproduce any framerate issues in Slay the Spire 2 with DisplayFusion running unless the mouse is set to 8000 Hz.

Can you tell me what CPU is in your machine?

We've been able to reproduce this issue here and have added it to our list to fix up. We'll be sure to let you know when we've gotten it all sorted out.

Thanks!

Updates to the API documentation, including adding the docs to the public site

RE: Display Fusion causing major lag in games when moving mouse.

Binary Fortress Software — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 15:26:14 GMT

I am not using a high polling rate, I'm using the standard rate of 1000Hz. Additionally the issue completely vanishes if I close Display Fusion. If I change my mouse to use 4000Hz and close Display Fusion, I have no issues with lag.

Additionally, the article you linked says explicitly

"Mice that poll at 1 kHz are not considered high polling rate here, as they generally did not exhibit performance issues except on CPUs with very slow single-core performance."

While it is true that higher polling rates neccesitate higher CPU usage, I still believe this is some sort of performance bug on Display Fusion's side.

I understand this isn't exactly a simple thing to pin down but I hope it's not being written off as not existing.

Appreciate the help either way.

RE: Custom columns for log files, such as somelog.txt

Binary Fortress Software — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 15:24:20 GMT

You're right, for the date one it should actually be `-{space}` so that it doesn't trigger on the dashes in the date.

Regarding the special characters, `\T` is the only one. `{space}` just shows up like that when you put an actual space character in there so that it's represented in the list, instead of just looking like a blank entry.

RE: slideshow/profile-state bug?

This issue should be fixed up in the latest beta, available here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta. Please let me know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!

RE: Display Fusion causing major lag in games when moving mouse.

Binary Fortress Software — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 15:16:13 GMT

We've done some more extensive testing here, and have found that we can induce framerate issues with high polling mice, even without DisplayFusion running. The short of it is that high polling mice cause Windows to have to handle a ton of mouse move events, and when anything contests for CPU, you start to run into performance issues. So it's not really caused by DisplayFusion, just that running DisplayFusion and a high polling mouse along with a game will end up with a lot of CPU contention.

The good news is that it sounds like at least for Godot engine games (e.g. Slay the Spire 2), they have fixed this issue recently in the Godot engine. See this blog post regarding that: https://godotengine.org/article/fixing-high-polling-rate-mice-on-windows/. The game would have to update to the latest Godot engine as well to get that fix.

Hopefully other game engines will follow-suit on that soon as well.

RE: All hotkeys stopped working

Binary Fortress Software — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 09:43:09 GMT

Biggest news ever for this isue. I can replicate this issue 100% of time time at will, maybe u can try it see if the same and create fix? Simply by running it as admin fromt he compatibility tab checkbox causes the issue to hapen every time. I can close the program, runit again, and the hotkeys fail again. Are the hotkeys tryihg to hook the system while the UAC prompt is still up, and denied before I can hit OK so it stays disabled? If so putting about 1 5 second delay on the hotkey hooks would give users time to hit OK to uac prompt. I am just throwing it out there, not a modern programmer by any means.

RE: Startbutton shows only half size of startmenu

Binary Fortress Software — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 02:16:56 GMT

Same exact problem here. Ive noticed that if I change my 2nd monitor's scaling to anything other than 100%, it goes back to normal. But I wouldnt want to do that.

RE: All hotkeys stopped working

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 10:28:08 GMT

Or maybe if you could put a little fix in advanced settings, recmmendeded that no one use it in description, but I will cick it and it will force the hotkey fuction to turn off and on after software launches, so itr would then again be seamless for me or anyone else having this issue

RE: All hotkeys stopped working

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 10:25:40 GMT

Could u write me a script real quick that will ewffectively uncheck and rechek box the hotkey funtion, so I could use it as a logon script and it then wil auto fix the problem. Powershell scrit maybe, or an autoit script I could use too, I could install autoit scriptwrite engine, or maybe powershell I could use it as auto logon sctipt

Startbutton shows only half size of startmenu

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 06:43:35 GMT

When I click the Start button on the DisplayFusion taskbar, the Start menu only opens halfway. When using the Windows key, it opens on the main screen first but then jumps to the second screen and opens fully.
newest Beta is installed.

RE: Custom columns for log files, such as somelog.txt

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 03:16:46 GMT

Ok, that's interesting. My issue is that the log file is in UTC and I don't want to have to keep doing math or add a UTC clock to my task bar.

I think I get it now, but two questions about your example.

The - as the separator for Date/Time. How does the actual - in the Date/Time string not affect that in your example?

{space} - what other special syntax like that is supported? How would one naturally know to use {space} since it's not documented anywhere? /T for tab is the only one mentioned on the dialog.

RE: CF 6.4 Beta 6 can crash when pasting an image from the History

RE: Custom columns for log files, such as somelog.txt

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:07:31 GMT

Ah ok, sorry about that! I misunderstood your request. You're correct, there isn't a way to have a new datestamp added to lines in LogFusion. What's the use case there if the log line itself already contains the date?

Regarding the column configuration that I showed, it's just to split up the log to make it more readable and sortable, yep. The << and >> don't really matter, as in my example, the space is the separator and the << is just the column name.

The separator is essentially what delimits the end of that column. For example, if your log line is like this:

Error : 2026-09-11 13:53:02 - Computer Is On Fire

, then you could configure 3 columns like this:

Name:
```
Severity
```
Separator:
```
:
```

Name:
```
Date/Time
```
Separator:
```
-
```

Name:
```
Message
```
Separator:
```
{space}
```
