to simply put: it doesn't work. i've tried a lot, but ultramon has encountered an error etc.
the vista\buttonrenderer.cpp on line 119 gives the error.

You'll get this if the stream bitmap of the theme isn't the same size as the one from the Aero theme.
Unfortunately there's no fix for this except using a different theme or disabling the window buttons, but as long as the theme is the same internally as the standard Aero theme it should work fine with UltraMon.

thanks for the reply! unfortunately my themes are so different than the aero original, that by disabling the custom buttons, and selecting any theme, the ultramon.exe immediately kicks the bucket.
sorry for double posting, i saw you resolved that. :)

What's the error message you get with the window buttons disabled?

Sounds like the buttons are still enabled, to verify this run regedit.exe, then go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\<version>\Window Buttons and check the Maximize to Desktop Button and Move Window Button values. If the values are set to 1 the buttons are enabled, to disable them set the two values to zero.

the latter was on, but the other taskbar is bonked. double the height, and black buttons on black background.
leave it, it's not worth the deal. :(

If you're using WindowBlinds, you could try disabling skinning for UltraMonTaskbar.exe, that should fix the problem, won't look great though.

using custom themes with a patched uxtheme.dll, so no.
on a different problem, can you add the middle mouse click -> move to other display hotkey? or the feature to add mouse buttons to hotkeys.

Will be considered for a future release, but you could already do this with the WheelMoveWnd add-on.
