Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Feature request: "show desktop" that clears specific monitor
Svend   2003-05-29 08:30
I find, that when working with an ocean of windows, I often want to get to stuff, that lies on the desktop of my right hand monitor (my second one), I can't do this, without either minimizing all the windows on that specific screen, or using the "show desktop" windows feature, thereby minimizing everything.

It could be supersweet, if Ultramon could let me clear the desktop on monitor X specificly instead.

How does that sound? :)

Thanks for the suggestion, this is being considered for a future release.

Yes please add this feature! At least should be able to show desktop on the primary display and not effect the others

What about something to keep things minimized when using the Show Desktop icon? When I use that icon in my Quicklaunch, all apps minimize (both on primary and secondary monitors). But when I open up an app after doing that (like getting to the desktop and use an icon to open something up), all of the apps that were minimized by the Show Desktop icon on the secondary monitor come back up (apps on primary monitor stay minimized). Any idea what's going on here?

I've noticed that as well, at least occasionally. Most likely a Windows issue.

UltraMon 3 will have per-monitor Show Desktop as well as a custom Show Full Desktop command, which shouldn't have this problem.
