Forums -> UltraMon™ -> 3.09 w/ Win7 Smart Taskbar Positioning Flaw.

Alright, this isn't really a flaw, but to me it is. It seems a feature was changed, but has made Smart Taskbar less usable.

I drag my Main Taskbar to the top of my second monitor, then Smart Taskbar automatically snaps to the main monitor. I cannot position both taskbars where I like and select myself which monitor it manages.

I like to run both my taskbars on the Second monitor. With the 1st Mon Mainbar and the Top and the 2nd Mon Smartbar at the bottom, This way I can manage tasks on the main monitor when something is running fullscreen. Often cause an MSN window or program warning may pop up on the main monitor underneath in the background. Some games don't minimize on the main monitor when tasking out so the window gets stuck under them. I see it show up on my main taskbar then I can task out the game and use "move to other monitor" to free it.

Is there a setting I'm overlooking . . .
If so, I'm an ass.

Great work there, so far its working great in Win7.

Thanks for making this "can't do without" utility.

Version 3 no longer supports this, but I'll consider adding support for manual configuration again in a later release.

I'm somewhat curious as to why you'd take a feature like that out ? I thought it was wonderful.

I give you credit though, the fact that you've heard me out so fast is admirable.

This was done when moving to automatic configuration for the Smart Taskbar, I didn't think the manual configuration feature would be missed. But I've heard from several users who would like to have this feature back.
