I have a compatability issue with Virtual Monitor plug-in for TrueSoft True Launch Bar and the SmartTaskbar Feature from Real Time Softs' Ultramon.

I have a 2 monitor set up and smart taskbar enabled to show tasks from each Monitor. I also use the Virtual desktop Plug-in for True Launch Bar.

When I change the Selected desktop with the Virtual desktop Plug-in, the smart task bar stays on the first virtual desktop. Where the smart taskbar should be in the new virtual desktop, there is a blank space. All programs moved to the secondary monitor will go to the first virtual monitor in the taskbar.

In this case, the programs on the right monitor in desktop 3 will go to the smart taskbar in desktop 2.

I'm not sure what can be done about this. I'd hate to have to choose between using ultramon or truelaunchbar. I hope this gets fixed somehow.

The problem is that the virtual desktop manager hides the UltraMon taskbars when it switches desktops.

If your virtual desktop manager supports it, make the UltraMon taskbars visible on all desktops. The name of the executable is UltraMonTaskbar.exe.

Also take a look at the workaround mentioned here, this is a bit more complicated though.
