So i have 2 profiles i switch between frequently
On one profile i want the taskbar to be on the right side of monitor 3
On the other profile i want the taskbar on the left side of monitor 1

I asked about this maybe 2 years ago and i was wondering if it was ever explored to be possible or not or maybe it's still on the list.

Or if there may be a workaround with functions and whatnot

thanks

I've found 2 registry settings that affect the taskbar but I'm not sure what to do with them

The first one is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3
The Settings Data show on what screen the taskbar is on, what edge the taskbar is on, and it's size.

The second one is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
The TaskbarSizeMove Data control whether the taskbar is locked or unlocked from what i can tell

Whenever i change any of these registry settings though i have to restart explorer for them to take effect though, and i'm not sure if there is a way to make it more seamless

For both profiles, is it only the Windows taskbar that you want to change the position for?

Yes

Ok, interesting! Killing/restarting explorer isn't really ideal for a supported feature, but I will put this on our list to see if there's another way that it can be done.

This is the exact thing I desire, has there been any traction on a way to do this? I keep 2 different monitors, a 144hz 16:9 and an ultradwide 21:9 and prefer to keep my taskbar on the opposite monitor of my default as I swap them with a hotkey (the sole reason I purchased DF) so while gaming or streaming in borderless windowed I can access the normal functions of my computer through my taskbar.

We haven't had a chance to try implementing something like this, but I will add your vote to the open feature request list.

Thanks!

hey keith, any updates on this feature yet?
I believe it's the last gripe i have with this software, everything else is working smoothly :)

Actually yes! We inadvertently implemented this when troubleshooting something else, and must have just missed the feature request for it!

You can do this now:

BFS.DisplayFusion.EnableTaskbarOnSide(1, "L");


or

BFS.DisplayFusion.EnableTaskbarOnSide(1, "R");


Hope that helps!

Is this only for the displayfusion taskbar? doesn't seem to work with the windows taskbar at all

assuming the above is the case, how do i set up the displayfusion taskbar to act as a single windows taskbar? i.e all items show in the same taskbar

Ah nuts, sorry. I misread that ticket and missed that it was for the Windows taskbar, not the DF taskbar. Sorry! Unfortunately I can't offer an ETA on if/when we'd be able to add scripting functions for moving the Windows taskbar, sorry.

Two years later and I jumped into function editing like a kid at christmas and JUST as I verify the function and test it, gmail indicated I had a new box of coal from DisplayFusion, We can't be the only 2 people who want this function.

For me persomally, if i could just switch out the windows taskbar for the dp taskbar i would be happy, but from what i can tell from the settings it only works as a multi-monitor taskbar? which doesnt suit my usecase

got it setup as best as i could but it was very inconsistent in its performance, i'm gonna stick with the default windows taskbar and hopefully we can get this problem fixed in the future =/
