Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Mirroring portion of main screen, 2nd monitor black borders

I have successfully used your mirror option in UltraMon to mirror a small portion of the desktop to my 2nd monitor. (The score board of my Pinball game, The Pinball Arcade).

This mirrored image goes directly in the center of the 2nd monitor, which is fine if not ideal... but, everything else on monitor two is completely black. Is there a way to retain the background image for monitor two on the portions of the screen that aren't being mirrored? It would be nice if monitor 2 retained the background image so I could simply use a pinball game wallpaper to make it look really nice.

Is this possible?

Perhaps my specs are important. Please don't laugh too hard. Main monitor is a 23" widescreen monitor in portrait mode, at 1080x1920 resolution, and flipped on its back so it is facing straight up. 2nd monitor is a 19" 4:3 and set at 1280x1024 in landscape, and is physically behind and above the main monitor, acting as my backglass.

Any info appreciated, thanks!

You could do this with the MirrorMon add-on, though you'll have a window caption and border around the mirrored desktop area. Let me know if you have any questions about setting this up.
