Start 11 2.5 - Compatibility with Display Fusion

from Stardock Forums

Software I'm using

Start 11 2.5 with DisplayFusion 11.0.6 (Beta 6 due to a bug fix in it I need), Windows 11 current, non-beta. 

Relevant Settings: 

In DisplayFusion, I'm got taskbar control turned off, and my ultra wide monitor split into 3 virtual monitors. 

Start 11 has the taskbar set so the start button is on the left, and programs in the middle. 

Problem: 

Taskbar renders completely across the screen then shrinks to the middle split in bottom mode program windows act as it is, when set to top in Start 11, does, but program windows act as it doesn't. 

If screen is turned off or adjusted by external forces, taskbar will sometimes re-render left aligned, but the size of the middle split. 

Fix desired: 

I'd like to have Start 11 either ignore the splits completely, stretching across the entire screen, or have it re-render to the middle split instead of left aligned. 

Thanks!

Can you try the 2.51 beta released today?

Beta seems to be slightly better at it, but same behavior after a time, except the pushing the taskbar to left is gone.

Is this all new behaviour in start11 v 2.5?  I.e. Did it use to work?

The pushing to the left is what got me to post. That was all new to me. I'm also on a reinstall after my SSD bit it. 

The rest of it is merely a suggestion to cooperate better with DisplayFusion, and is not a bug report so further action on it is not required to be any priority, unless your team decides it's a good idea. 

Thanks!

FYI, the push to the left is back - but only does it when the monitor has been asleep
