Screen savers

Most screen savers don't work with multiple monitors: they only run on the primary monitor, leaving the other monitors unprotected.

UltraMon solves this problem by blanking all secondary monitors while the screen saver runs on the primary monitor. The screen saver once again does its job, and your data is protected while you are away from your desk.

But UltraMon can do even more: you can have a different screen saver on each monitor! The following screenshot shows a 3-monitor system with a different screen saver on each monitor:

In addition, UltraMon also enables you to run hardware-accelerated OpenGL screen savers, even if your system has no OpenGL acceleration when secondary monitors are enabled. To enable this feature, go to the Options tab and check 'disable secondary monitors'. You can now select any OpenGL screen saver for the primary monitor. UltraMon will disable secondary monitors before the screen saver starts, and re-enable them when the screen saver stops.

You can easily launch and configure screen savers from the UltraMon menu:

Go to the Add-ons section for a partial list of screen savers that can be used on secondary monitors.
