Hello, I just came across UltraMon about a week or two ago and so far I am extremely impressed with it. It has made my newfound dual monitor setup, which is comprised of dual Samsung 19" LCD monitors, much more configurable and easy to use. I've dug around in the settings and haven't found a few options that I would like to have access to, so I might as well go ahead and list them here. I apologize if they've already been listed and/or if I just missed them.

1. The option to have the clock display in the taskbar on monitor 2 instead of monitor 1 would be great.
2. Monitor-specific "Show desktop" quick launch buttons would really help for when I need to minimize everything on, say, monitor 2 but I want to keep my web browser and/or video editing program on monitor 2 open.
3. The only "bug" I've seen on my system that I would like to see resolved is when my screensaver kicks in. When it does, I can see the very top of the taskbar on my second monitor, where the smart taskbar is running. This is obviously a minor quibble but I just thought I'd point it out. And for more information, I'm using two Samsung 191t monitors, both running at 1280x1024, and the video card in question is an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro using Catalyst 4.3 drivers and with DirectX 9.0b installed under WinXP Pro SP1a.

Thanks for your time and keep up the great work on this wonderful program!

Thanks for your suggestions.

A clock on UltraMon taskbars is planned for UltraMon 3, but most likely removing the clock/system tray from the Windows taskbar will not be supported.

Per-monitor Show Desktop is also planned for UltraMon 3.

To fix the screen saver issue, you could either run the screen saver via UltraMon (UltraMon menu > Screen Saver > Configure), or disable the UltraMon taskbar's border (right-click the taskbar, then uncheck 'Show Border When Hidden').
