Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Show desktop and multiple system trays
Mark   2003-07-30 04:01
I am new to Ultramon and I must say I have been happy so far with what it can do. It was exactly what I was looking for. There are two features I would like to see added, or if anyone knows how to do this already in the software please let me know. I am sorry if this was already posted somewhere, but I can’t seem to find a search function on these boards

1. I would like to have a separate show desktop button on each of my monitors’ smart task bars. Currently the default Windows show desktop button will minimize all screens on each monitor. There are many, many times that I want to go to the desktop on my main screen but not touch any of the screens on different monitors. Can this been done in the current software? If not can it be considered as an enhancement request for a future version?

2. The smart task bars that show only the screens on the current monitors is perfect. One thing I would like to see is the system tray to be duplicated on each of these bars or at least an option to do so. I run a lot of apps out of my system tray and I hate to have to go back to the primary display to get to these. Also I have message dialogs pop out of a system tray icon and I have to change my view to the primary display to read it instead of looking at the current monitor. At least make this an optional feature. And if it IS added you should have a complete duplicate of the system tray in each task bar. Not like a smart one that has only apps on this screen or individual instances.

Thanks and keep up the good work. This is a great piece of software IMO.

These features currently aren't available, but per-monitor Show Desktop is planned for one of the next releases.

The system tray on UltraMon taskbars is being considered for a future release. This would be an optional feature.
