Ultramon utility for multiple monitor users

Post #111,791 by altmann 7/28/03 8:20:38 PM Reply	Ultramon utility for multiple monitor users Creates task bars for each monitor. Puts "move to other monitor" and "maximize across all monitors" buttons on title bars and on window/task bar system menus. Lets you drag maximized windows to other desktops. Also does some other stuff I haven't tried yet. I like it so far, especially the multiple task bar thing.

Initially had some troubles with the screensaver-per-monitor, but it seems to be working now. None of the GL ones work though. I have SETI on the main and starfield on the two side monitors. The move-to-other monitor is nice. The maximize across monitors is useless for me, the monitors are different sizes and resolutions(center 19" 1280x1024 and the sides are 17" @ 1024x768).

I believe some special-purpose hardware can get around this issue. And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see/With every prison blown to dust, my enemies walk free/Though all the kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea/ I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

Specifically, Windows can't handle Different timing from different busses at the same time. BUt, if you had all PCI Video Cards, I do believe it theoretically do that. Also Theoretically you could enable OpenGL/Direct3D on the other monitors ... but the interface for it is removed... I am sure the Registry still has the entries for it. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] Onerous congratulations on your conceptual development of obliteration concerning telephones, lobsters and fish!
