PROS
- Brilliant hotkey support
- Any hotkey can be made into a title button, with a custom image
- Great support for multi-monitor wallpapers
- Supports multiple-monitor screensavers
- Supports changing Windows Login background
CONS
- Free version has no support at all for multi-monitor taskbar
- Few Windows 7 features supported in task-bar
- Windows login-background is only changeable for primary screen
Summary
Overall, DisplayFusion is a brilliant application that favours those who prefer hotkeys. It might not support all Windows 7 taskbar features, but it more than makes up for it with its extensive hotkey and titlebar buttons support.

Related reviews:
DisplayFusion is another solution for those looking to add a task-bar to their secondary monitors. In addition it offers a number of features that make working with multiple monitors much better.
Unlike the previous application we reviewed, Actual Multiple Monitors, DisplayFusion's emulation of the Windows 7 task-bar is not entirely faithful, and you can tell at a glance that it is not the real Windows 7 taskbar. The DisplayFusion taskbar does not show your system tray icons, nor the start menu button. It does not group your icons, there is no jumplist or progress display support either. Instead the DisplayFusion taskbar focuses on providing a functional taskbar that has the basic features you need. The taskbar also blends in well with the Aero theme, and looks, if not functions, similar to the Windows 7 taskbar.
One feature that DisplayFusion adds in its taksbar, which is not present in the Windows 7 taskbar, is changing the action for middle-clicking a taskbar button. You can set this button to move the window to the next / previous monitor, close the application, or the Windows-default of opening a new instance of the application. Another thing that DisplayFusion allows, but the previously-reviewed Actuals Multiple Monitors doesn't, is that you can have your primary Windows taskbar display all applications, while the secondary DisplayFusion taskbar can display only the tasks from the relevant monitor. This mode is quite useful and is one that I personally prefer.
