ClickToDesktop

sorry to put this here but I couldnt find a better place to put this

I have 2 monitors and DisplayFusion (software that adds additional taskbar for additional monitors)

[primary monitor - real taskbar] [secondary monitor - displayfusion taskbar]

Clicking desktop on primary monitor minimizes all windows on primary monitor/real taskbar - but windows on secondary monitor/displayfusion taskbar are unaffected
also
Clicking desktop on secondary monitor minimizes all windows on primary monitor/real taskbar - but windows on secondary monitor/displayfusion taskbar are unaffected

Clicking the 'show desktop' icon (Vista) hides and unhides all windows (both screens)

The problem seems to be with WinMinimizeAll and WinMinimizeAllUndo (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/WinMinimizeAll.htm)

Oddly Win+D seems to minimize/restore all windows (both screens), but Win+M minimizes (not restore) only windows on the primary monitor.

Therefore a quick hack would be to replace WinMinimizeAll and WinMinimizeAllUndo with the code to insert Win+D into keyboard.

I hope this helps  :)
