I just upgraded to UltraMon 3.0.10 from (I think it was) 2.7-ish.
I have 2 monitors. I had both taskbars (one for each monitor) stacked on the bottom of my primary screen. I have adjusted as many settings as I could think of and tried dragging and anything else I could think of. I cannot seem to get the same configuration with 3.0.10.
Is there a solution to this? It seems like a functional feature was lost in the upgrade.
Thanks for any insight you can offer.

That's no longer supported in version 3, you can only disable the taskbar for a monitor, but placing it on another monitor isn't supported. I'm considering adding support for this again in a later release.

Christian,
Thank you for answering my question. I would like to offer the following logic and encouragement for adding this feature again in the future.
I consistently have many windows open, often with several of the same application. With multiple monitors, especially when they are wide-screen, I find it much more useful to have my taskbar items on my primary screen for easy access but with the ability to distinguish which screen they are on. With them all on one bar, which puts them all on the primary screen, it is more difficult to determine which one I am wanting to activate. I find that multiple taskbars on my primary screen is therefore, much more useful.
Further, I recognize that not everyone has the same preferences and needs. So having the option for functionality in any of the configurations is very desirable.
Thank you.
Sandie

Thanks for the information. Most likely this would be implemented in the form of a third custom mode, where you can configure the number and position of taskbars, and the monitor(s) each taskbar handles.
