Is tha app named BetterDisplay or BetterDummy under Applications? If you did install BetterDisplay as an update, the app name won't change! :)

I deleted BetterDummy and installed BetterDisplay.

It is named BetterDisplay under Applications

Where exactly do you see BetterDummy? Is this Exposé?

Due to compatibility reasons some of the software identifier strings and the bundle ID is actually BetterDummy still (this is to have the app reach the old BetterDummy settings file on upgrade, avoid the need to re-activate the license upon upgrade and let Sparkle auto-update from BetterDummy to BetterDisplay).

I'll probably move licensing and settings to app group level in an upcoming version and then sometime later I'll fully migrate the app to be BetterDisplay, but there is no rush - the dual nature of the app does not hurt much.

Oh I found it, I had to enable Group windows by application to see the name in Mission Control. It is indeed BetterDummy.

I am afraid won't change until I fully complete the transition with the above mentioned stuff.

This was resolved with v2.x
