Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Desktop icons

Hi,

I'm new to UltraMon and things are working fine.

Though i just have one issue with it:
I am using 2 monitors (actually 3 but i replace one as it's the TV when i'm watching series), primary at 1920*1080 and a second to the left at 1280*1024.
The thing is that my main screen all the desktop icons are only within a 'small' area of the screen and I cannot mark (e.g. drag and mark several icons) at 1/4 of the bottom of the screen and the same at the right side.

Any solutions?

Thank you in advance

Not sure what might cause this, please post the system information from UltraMon menu > About, that might help with determining what's going wrong.

That looks okay. Did you already try if restarting the system fixes the issue?

If that doesn't help, check if you have any desktop/shell enhancement applications installed which might cause this, it's very unlikely that this issue would be related to UltraMon (you can confirm this by testing if you still have the issue without UltraMon running or installed).

While that is true, I only got this issue when I installed ultramon. Can it perhaps be a conflict with AMD control center?

Actually; It seems now it has resolved itself. I'm unsure what caused it. I did disable smart taskbar and unchecked "preserve position of desktop icons". After that I did restart the system so it could be that.

Thanks for the help though!
