Download DisplayFusion 6.0.0

Binary Fortress Software has released version 6.0 of DisplayFusion. With this program it is possible to manage a multimonitor setup. For example, a separate background or screensaver can be set per screen and programs can be opened on a screen to be determined by the user. A license costs $25 and is temporarily half the price. There is also a free version, but of course it has less possibilities. More information about DisplayFusion is on this page.
