Hi. Great site, great program.
Yes, I know Ultramon is only for adding a second taskbar to a second monitor. Could you guys consider including support for using Ultramon on single montior to create a second taskbar? Or consider creating another version of Ultramon specifically meant for people who want a second taskbar on their (single) monitor.
Thank you for your consideration.

How about resizing your existing taskbar?
Makes no sense at all...?

Obviously you've never used Ubuntu (which is very productive). http://news.softpedia.com/images/news2/Ubuntu-9-10-Alpha-1-Screenshot-Tour-2.jpg
I am running Windows 7, so I have the nice new superbar. Now I have a 16:9 monitor. Obviously it makes more sense to maximize your viewing space by putting the taskbar on the side of the screen. Resizing the taskbar on the side of the screen only stretches the taskbar.

As you can see I removed the start button to make more space for running applications. What I would like to have is:
* One taskbar on the left with only running and pinned applications.
* A second taskbar on the right with the start menu / systray area / clock / and application shortcuts (quicklaunch links).

I'm considering adding support for such configurations again in a future release, if this gets implemented you should be able to do what you want. There wouldn't be a special version for single monitor systems though.

That would be absolutely amazing! Can I join a mailing list or is there some way I can be notified when it's released?
Thank you.

I subscribed. I have a couple questions I hope you can answer.
What's the probability that you will include this in a future version?
If you do include it in a future version: Approximately, how long will it be until that version is released?
Thank you.

I don't know yet, certainly not before 3.0 final though.

Here is a screenshot of what I have accomplished with Rainmeter and RocketDock.
This is just what I've done to hold me over until a proper tool for a second taskbar on a single monitor is released. What I have is lacking the Windows taskbar functionality that I want. Another problem is that I want to have the notification area on the second taskbar.
Anyways, here's what I have for now:
