I'm using UltraMon 3.2.0 on Win 7 under Bootcamp on a retina MacBookPro and my second monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster.
The taskbar appears on the second monitor but there are two problems:
1. Google Chrome will not display the Move Window and Maximize to Desktop buttons next to the standard minimize/restore/close buttons.
2. I'm using the Smart Taskbar option in Standard mode but even when I manually drag Chrome windows to the second monitor, the taskbar icon does not move from the first monitor's taskbar.
As an variation on this issue, IntelliJ IDEA does not exhibit the symptoms of problem 1 (it does have the Move Window and Maximize to Desktop buttons) but does have problem 2 (taskbar icon won't move to second monitor, even when moved manually).
I've tried increasing the process priority but found no difference.
I should note that neither of these applications are configured to be treated differently under the Compatibility tab.
Any idea how to get around these issues?

1) This is due to the custom window title bar used by Chrome, currently there is no fix for this. Support for applications with non-standard title bars will be considered for a future release.
What should still work fine with Chrome are the Move Window/Maximize to Desktop hotkeys, you can configure those via UltraMon Options > Hotkeys.
2) I can't reproduce this issue with Chrome, which version are you using? I tested with 21.0.1180.89.

My Chrome version is 21.0.1180.89, same as yours.
And the hotkeys do work for all windows but I find myself using those less and less on Windows 7 in favor of the Win+arrow key shortcuts.
And I just noticed something new: Everything works as expected with Chrome (in terms of the taskbar) when my second monitor is configured to the left of my primary monitor.
When the secondary monitor is to the right, the icon appears on the correct taskbar only if no part of the Chrome window occupies the left half of the screen. So if the window is maximized, no taskbar icon; if it's not maximized on position so that any part of the window uses the left half of the screen, no taskbar icon; if it's positioned so that it only uses the right half of the screen, the taskbar icon appears.
For reference
primary screen: 2880 x 1800
secondary screen: 2048 x 1152
And I should repeat that this is only an issue when the secondary display is on the right of the primary... everything is fine the other way.
And I just upgraded my nvidia GeForce driver from version 296.49 to the latest 306.23 and there was no change.
Hope this information helps to narrow it down.
Thanks,
Rod

Please post the system information from UltraMon menu > About, maybe there's something wrong with the display configuration. I just tested with Chrome and a monitor to the right of the primary but noticed no problems.
