I have been using UltraMon for about 3 years. Love it!
I have a Dual Monitor setup.
I also use remote desktop.
When I use remote desktop Windows Forces my PC to a single monitor mode. UltraMon "knows" that I am now in a single screen mode (indicated by the Icon). When I then re-log in locally, UltraMon is set back to Dual Monitor mode.
Can I have UltraMon execute a script when it is switching? I found that in order to have TaskbarShuffle work properly with the "second" UltraMon taskbar each time I switch back and forth, I need to close and restart TaskbarShuffle after I am in the next configuration state. I would like this to be done automatically (scripted).
It seems like I'm missing something, as UltraMon KNOWS what mode it is in, automatically, so, I think it's possible to have UltraMon execute a script based on that.
If not, I know I can hack something that can poll UltraMon's status, but that seems cheesy, as I'll have an infinite loop of just looking for a change, just to close and reopen taskbarshuffle.exe.
Any incite is appreciated!

That's not supported, currently there is no support for running scripts in response to display configuration changes.
A script which checks the number of enabled monitors periodically would work fine, but I agree that this isn't an ideal solution (would use almost no CPU/memory though). If you want to do this, you can use the System object's NumActiveMonitors property to check how many monitors are enabled. See UltraMon Help > Scripting for more on this.

Done. Is this something I can "give" to the community? Or should I just chalk it up to a "niche" need?
Thanks!

You can send me the script to support@realtimesoft.com, I'll be happy to add it to the scripts page.

ok, so, I've cleaned up the script, I just need to figure out how to cleanup the notification icons, as when you kill taskbar shuffle, it leaves an icon behind.
I think I am on the trail to getting a solution, so When that's ready, I'll re-send to your account for submission.
Thanks!
