Software update: DisplayFusion 9.8

Binary Fortress Software has released version 9.8 of DisplayFusion. This program is intended to manage a multi-monitor 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. Pricing for a license starts at $29. There is also a free version, but of course it has less opportunities. More information about DisplayFusion is on this page. On days when the sun shines, all Binary Fortress products are discounted by fifty percent. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
