I got two features that will make so much sense First : A Hotkey to ** Send Focus to next display which means that if you press that hotkey example : Win+Tab = your focus goes to other display ( latest focused window on that display ) SECOND : the hotkey problem that we can't set Win+Shift only** but we have to add a key :'( Personnaly i wanted to use the Win+Shift = move windows to next monitor. The First proposition is so helpful while gaming so that players can be able to swap send messages and...

First, you do not need to switch to another wallpaper before deleting the existing one. DMT will create a new image for showing as wallpaper as it may need to stretch/truncate the existing image to fit the monitor(s), change the image format and may need to merge multiple images together if you are displaying a different image on each monitor. This means that as soon as the wallpaper is shown, the existing image(s) on disk are no longer needed, so would be safe to delete. As for your suggestion,...
-
Do you get this error message every time the wallpaper changes or just occasionally or whenever something else is happening, like when a monitor resolution is changed or monitors plugged in or removed?

Sergii posted a comment on discussion Improvements
I’d like to suggest a small usability improvement. Please consider adding an additional hotkey that would both change the wallpaper and remove the current image file from disk. Sometimes an image ends up in the wallpaper folder by mistake, or I simply don’t like it and want to delete it. Right now, I have to switch to another wallpaper first, then manually locate the previous file on disk and delete it. This is a bit inconvenient. It would be very helpful to have a dedicated hotkey that performs...

My job is now using Crowdstrike and I think it is stomping the AppData/Roaming/Dual Monitor Tools folder and forcing it to be read only. Is there a way to redirect where DMT saves those tiles?

Sorry, I don't quite follow what the problem is. One thing to be aware of is that user-defined areas include the border around the window, but this would make the window appear smaller, so I guess it is not the problem you are having. Note: You can also use "System Defined Areas" to split your screen into a left and right half using the numeric pad 4 and 6 keys together with a selected modifer key. In this case you can select whether or not to put the border on the inside or outside of the half ...

Hello, I have a single monitor. I set the user-defined area to split the left screen and the right split screen. The software that comes with Windows is normal. Some software will make it larger. I don’t know English and used software to translate it. I don’t know if you understand the problem I’m talking about.

DMT has now been updated ready for the next release with a new hot key to lock the cursor to the current screen. This takes precedence over any sticky/lock that is working on the primary working area and remains in force until the hot key is pressed again. I need to update the terminology at some point to try and avoid any confusion between the 2 different cursor locking mechanisms. When handling the hot keys, I'm not sure if I can determine the difference between the left and right versions of the...

im glad to hear most of the stuff i suggested you have already considered before, im excited for ur upcoming releases. yeah, if we could name each monitor then reorder them to teleport windows in any sequence we want, that would be amazing. imo the current implementation for primary working area is perfectly fine as well. just that it'd be nice to further lock the mouse pointer inside the current screen via a hotkey toggle. furthermore, the hotkeys modifiers, would it be possible to further specify,...

DMT only supports the image formats that are natively supported by .NET 4, namely BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF. A future version may support more image formats, but it won't be in the next release.

Henky posted a comment on discussion Improvements
The program doesn't recognize local and remote AVIF images so there's no support I presume.

I have been thinking about adding the ability to DMT to allow uers to name individual monitors. This was primarily intended so that you could specify which monitors are part of the Primary Working Area, but could also be used to specify the ordering, so this would be very similar to your highlighted suggestion above. Thanks for the donation. Gerald

thanks for ur reply. maybe just do a counter clock for regular layouts, and put a note saying this feature only works if monitors are positioned in a specific layout where rotation is possible. such as, u must have max 2 rows and as many columns as u want, or max 2 columns but as many rows as u want, if this is not achieved it will function as regular top-down instead, or just simply randomize. then u dont have to worry about making logic for irregular configs, chances are those are not the people...

Supporting counter/clockwise ordering could be tricky to support for all possible monitor configurations. Perhaps what is needed is 4 new hotkeys to move the window to the monitor located in co-ordinate space to the left, right, above and below the current monitor. For a regular monitor layout like yours this should be easy, but a few decisions would be needed to be made for irregular layouts. I'll take a look to see if it would be possible to lock the cursor inside the current monitor. There is...

Are you saying that the "Target name" for both monitors is the same in Options->"Dual Monitor Tools"->Monitors? If so, are the other fields different / look correct? This name cannot be edited, or at least not by DMT. DMT by default numbers the monitors in left to right order, so I am guessing that you have your monitor to the left of your laptop? If you go to Options->"Dual Monitor Tools"->"Monitor Order", you can select "DotNet order..." which will use the ordering used by Windows DotNet. Note:...

Newbie here. I installed it on Win11. My laptop has one external monitor, set in Windows to be Extended for now. When I start DMT, both monitors have the same name - the name of the external monitor. Can I rename the monitor for my laptop? I tried clicking, right-cliking, etc, but it did not allow me to edit it. The laptop monitor is correctly recognized as "primary", but it is incorrectly called monitor 2. Can the number be changed to monitor 1? Thank you.

From what I remember, this would require DMT to install a DLL to handle this and I wanted to keep the install process simple, so decided against implementing this or at least until I fond a simpler way to implement it. A quick search found another open source program 'SpecialK' (https://github.com/SpecialKO/SpecialK) which does seem offer this functionality along with lots of other features for gamers. I have not tried this program myself, but it may offer what you want.

Hello, has this been acomplished?

Your idea would work if all of your monitors have different target names, but if you have 2 or more monitors of the same type, then it will not be possible to uniquely identify them.

Sorry, but the only thing that I can think of is that you have something else running that keeps changing the windows settings.

Evening. Great app, but having a windows issue. I don't know if you are able to help out. The program works great.

My issue: - I have 2 vertical monitors and 2 horizontal monitors (which is why I tried your program). - Even while running DMT, and set to cycle every 4 minutes (current settings), Windows 10 will still change the background. - When Win10 does this change, it resets...

Hello! Thank you for this wonderful software, It has solved so many headaches. I was wondering if it would be possible to set the primary working area by the target name. I currently have 4 monitors and with two on a Kvm switch that I also use for work. Currently the primary working area is based on monitor order, and that monitor order changes on my machine after a certain amount of time. If I could set the primary working area by name it would be so helpful. Another idea would be an option to set...

I sometimes use the mouse to move my cursor and sometimes the trackpad / touchpad of my laptop. Depending on what I use I press left control (for mouse) or right control (for trackpad / touchpad - pressing the right control with the ring finger of my right hand). Its just a convience thing tbh.

No. Currently only one key out of left-control, right-control, left-shift and right-shift can be specified, although you can also use a mouse button. Is there any particular reason why you would want to be able to use either control key?

It looks like you may have installed something else that starts before DMT that is using "Ctrl+Shift+L" as a hotkey therby preventing DMT from registering it. I've tried using "Ctrl+Shift+L" as you have with DMT and I found it works with both Windows 10 and 11 including after a reboot, so it doesn't seem to be Windows that is grabbing this hotley.
-
I did a fresh installation of windows and installed DMT. I assigned "Ctrl+Shift+L" on the "lock cursor onto screen" but after a reboot I noticed that the hotkey wasn't working and I checked the settings. it was -DISABLED- and after reassigning the hotkey i get the message on the picture.

Thanks for the reply, I suppose the task scheduler option will be a fine solution. Is there any reason why it's unable to load on its own with privileges? I have other programs that seem to startup just fine on boot.
