Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Task bar and Smart Task bar mixing up aero 'transparancy'

First of all, great product, i've been enjoying it for years now!

A small cosmetic issue which has been present ever since I started using Vista.

Using Windows Vista (64-bit) with aero glass theme.

The wallpaper that is behind the task bar (both original windows and smart task bar) shows through the bars' transparency (which is correct). This all works fine and dandy as long as your 2nd display is configured to the RIGHT side of the primary.
actual bug:
As soon as your secondary display is configured to the LEFT of your primary display, it will actually mix the wallpaper part that is visible through the Windows/Smart Taskbars.
result:
the task bar on the primary display shows part of the wallpaper of the secondary display behind it through transparency, while the secondary display shows the wallpaper of the primary.

It's a small bug, only noticeable when you use 2 very different and graphical wallpapers. I assume this bug is with you guys and not with Windows itself, if I'm wrong, apologies for that :)

It's a Vista issue, has been fixed in Windows 7. I'm not aware of a real workaround for this on Vista.
