Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Weird issue with transparent taskbar + multiple wallpapers

This is really more in the realm of annoyance than problem, but I'm noticing that when I have my main taskbar on monitor 2 in Vista, the transparency makes it look like it's taken a slice out of the wp on monitor 1. To give a concrete example, I have it set up to display a mostly red wp on monitor 1, and a mostly yellow wp on monitor 2, but the taskbar is showing translucent red, not yellow.

OS: Windows Vista Business final retail
GFX: XFX GeForce 8600GT
Ultramon version: 3.0.0 beta 1

oh, forgot to mention, GFX drivers are Forceware 158.45 Beta

I've seen that as well, seems to be a Vista issue.

Currently I'm not aware of a workaround/fix for this.

Just to mention that I noticed this issue too in Vista.

Except I'm using a single wallpaper that spans both monitors. The section from the other monitor shows through the taskbar.

Don't know if it's to do with the fact that my monitor 2 is on the left of monitor 1.

Nath, happens if you have a monitor to the left of the primary. There's no fix for this, but the issue has been fixed in Windows 7.
