TaskBarLayout now catches exceptions recording the taskbar location and handles them properly. It will skip any screenss that it cannot access the taskbar information for. The Screen layout generator for NVIDIA, AMD and Windows have all been updated to handle having no taskbar layout information (it just assumes the taskbar is down the bottom of the screen).
Hopefully fixes#114
This was a major error that somehow slipped through previous work. WinLibrary was only partially patching the Windows Display Config when it was being loaded, and that resulted in some parts of the Windows Display Config not working after a windows reboot. This should now be fixed!
Fixes#103
I have been attempting to force Windows to refresh the notification tray using various Win32 API methods by sending messages to those notification tray windows to get them to refresh, but I haven't been able to get the right combination of setings. I am now leaving it for the next littlw while to concentrate on other issues.
Trying to get rid of any left over applications that DIsplayMagician had to kill the process of, so that the system tray is nice and tidy. Having some issues doing so.
Finally managed to get taskbar positioning working perfectly. Also managed to add a 'Profile Tools' button which will allow the user to easily move the windows taskbar around the screen to different places. Please note that Windwows 11 taskbar only works at the top of the screen, or at the bottom. The taskbar will move to the left or right, but only the start button is shown :(. So I've disabled selecting left or right in Windows 11.
Partially through a different refactor to completely change how the taskbar settigns are stored, and the logic behind the application. Should make the taskbar more robust to apply.
We are able to patch the taskbar settings in DisplayProfiles without needing to get the users to remake their display proifiles. This changes the messaging to users.
This changes *should* be the last ones needed to get taskbar setting integrated. Fixes#78 (as much as we can fix it).
Works on Win 10, and partially on Win 11. Win11 won't update the main window until explorer.exe is restarted :(. There is talk that an upcoming Win 11 update will change that behaviour.
Used some of Soroush Falahati's amazing code, and now have the potential for storing the taskbar display layout. This unfortunately requires a display config change, so I will need to engineer some backwards compatibility.
The NVIDIA HDR colour logic was flawed, and wouldn't always apply properly. These logic changes now set the NVIDIA HDR colour back to windows controlled each time so the settings are at a known inital logical state. Then winlibray can set the windows HDR mode, and NVIDIA can set the NVIDIA HDR mode.
This version adds USB device support, and SuperDisplay detection (it is a way to use an Android Tablet as another windows display).
Also fixes cloned displays so that it uses the path priority rather than relying on HDR settings for mapping the cloned display ID to the real Display ID. This corrects some errors which occurred when some earlier screens didn't support HDR or the advanced Windows colour settings. It will now work in those situations.
Now supports multiple display adapters. Has been tested by @matthex with his 7 screens and 2 display adapters and works. Should fix#60 finally.
Also changed the way that cloned display configurations are patched. Was using the HDR structure previously as that contains a direct mapping, but of course it completely breaks if HDR information isn't supported by the monitor, or provided over the connection technology used. So the changes I made now use the display path priority order to figure out which cloned monitor belongs to which item.
Firstly, the UID's are pulled from the physical displays so that we have a list of them. We then go through the paths, and for each target we check if there is a matching physical UID. If there is NOT a matching physical ID, then it is a cloned display target. We store that for later.
Next, we go through the paths again, and we figure out which physical displays are NOT in use as display targets. When we have that list, we then map the left over physical displays to the cloned displays in path priority order.
Finally, we then go through each cloned display target in the paths array, and set it to the configuration that windows needs so it will make a cloned display. We also go through the modes array, and set the physical display id to the corresponding mapped physical UID we calculated earlier.
All of this results in Windows accepting the cloned display configuration as expected.
This corrects some errors with the WinLibrary and how it handles cloned displays.
Also removed the 0.5 second delay between the end of the NVIDIALibrary call, and the start of the WinLibrary one, because they do not appear to be needed based on the NVIDIALibrary testing we've been doing with NVIDIAInfo.
Also corrected some log entries and comments.
This version of WinLibrary improves handling of multiple display adapters to cope with multiple displays across multiple display adapters. Hopefully fixes#60 (but no guarantees yet)
Did a HUGE amount of testing with the amazing help of @domenic as part of #41, and we finally got the right configuration sorted out! This update is a reflection of the changes required.
