It would be very nice if we could have some of the followinf features:
- start button on all monitors (Also if you open a program from the start button of a certain monitor, the program should open on that monitor)
- clock on all task-bars
- when you click on an icon and you go to "send to" -> you should be able to send the icon to a specific desktop (that is either desktop 1, desktop 2, etc...)

Thank you

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll consider them for a future release.

as you know, there are a lot of programs that misbehave when disabling/enabling secondary monitors, like winamp. How about a feature to run a script/program on enable/disable events.

Thanks for the suggestion, will be considered.

You could already do this with a custom script:

Const POS_ALL = &H7
Set sys = CreateObject("UltraMon.System")
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

If sys.NumActiveMonitors > 1 Then
	'disable secondary monitors
	sys.SavePositions POS_ALL
	sys.SecondaryDisable
	
	'run script or application
	shell.Run "%WINDIR%\Notepad.exe"
Else
	'enable secondary monitors
	sys.SecondaryEnable
	sys.RestorePositions POS_ALL
	
	'run script or application
	shell.Run "%WINDIR%\Notepad.exe"
End If

If you want to launch the script from the UltraMon menu, copy it to your shortcuts directory, it will then be listed on the Shortcuts menu. The location of the shortcuts folder can be found in Options > Profiles and Shortcuts.

You could also run the script using a hotkey. To do this, create a new 'Run application or script' hotkey in Options > Hotkeys.
