First would like to say, love the product!
I've been having a problem where the smart taskbar background colour on my second monitor is different to the main monitor taskbar. The main monitor taskbar is white text on a dark blue background, but the smart taskbar is white text on a light blue background, making it a bit harder to read.
I've swapped the primary monitors over with no difference, so it isn't a monitor problem.
Strangely the very right hand end of the smart taskbar is the correct dark blue colour, but then there's an immediate gradient into the light blue for all the rest. I've tried changing all the colours in the theme with no luck, and while I could switch back to classic (black text on grey) I was hoping there might be an easier registry solution for ultramon or another known fix?
Here's a link to a pic. The smart taskbar is on the right:

I'm going to look into this for the next release, the only workaround I'm aware of is to use the Aero theme instead.
Glad to hear you like UltraMon!

Thanks Christian. Was avoiding Aero because of some other issues (not related to Ultramon) but might revisit that.

Just tried Aero but it seems to have the same issue :(

What color is the wallpaper you're using? Maybe it's related to that.

Can you post a screenshot showing the problem? I'm not seeing this with Aero on my Windows 7 system.

Thanks for the screenshot, I'm seeing the issue there as well.
I've done some further testing and noticed that the lighter the color of the wallpaper behind the taskbar is the more you notice that there is a difference between the two taskbars, even with the Aero theme. I'll look into this as well for the next release.

Thanks for that. It's not a showstopper or anything, but nice to have if there's an easy fix :)
