Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Vanishing Icons and Forcing Windows to One Display

Hi. I'm testing Ultramon (the latest beta) for the first time on Vista 32/Nvidia dual VGA/DVI.

I immediately noticed that whenever I disable
the secondary monitor (and it does disable), the icons and window tabs all vanish from the taskbar on the primary monitor (an "empty" taskbar is present).

The only way to get them back is to go to display properties and drag the monitor images (1 and 2) to exchange their positions (somehow they're always reversed positionally at this point) back to my actual left-right configuration. Then the
taskbar icons and window tabs reappear (on the primary monitor, where they should be). Any clues?

Also, is there any way in ultramon to force all windows back to the primary monitor quickly without disabling the secondary monitor or manipulating windows on the secondary monitor (e.g. if the secondary monitor is powered down). Thanks!

I'm not sure what would cause this, so far I haven't been able to reproduce this issue, I tested with UltraMon 3.0.2 on 32-bit Vista SP1.

Does the problem go away if you close UltraMon and disable the monitor manually via Control Panel > Personalization > Display Settings?

Currently there is no feature to move all windows to a specific monitor, support for this will be considered for a future release.
