Hello,

at first, i'm from germany so please excuse my english.
Second, your program is great! It solves all multi-monitor problems I have!

Now the Problem:
I want to play a game on my Second Screen (32"HC-TV)
but therefore i have to set the TV as Primary, after gaming i have to switch back and restore my icons. So Far so good.
I read something about scripts and fount some very usefull, but i have no ideo where to put them and how to combine them cause at the End i'll try to have it like this: I Start the Game, my Primory Monitor is automaticaly switched to the TV, when I close the game, set the primory back to the notebook and restore icons.

so could you help me or at least tell me if this is possible?

Thanks a lot ^^

PS: please excuse my english ^^ it is horrible

You could do this by configuring custom display settings for the application's shortcut, right-click the shortcut, select Properties from the menu, then configure the settings on the UltraMon - Display tab as desired.

You may still need to restore icon positions manually via UltraMon menu > Desktop Icons.

Well, at first thanks for the help, but i tried that
and when the login screen appears the monitor is switched but after loggin in into the game, the next window opens and everything is back on the first screen.

This could happen if the login application launches a second application, which is the actual game. UltraMon would then notice that the initial application has closed and would restore the original display settings.

I don't see a fix for this, also not via a custom script. You'll probably need to change the primary monitor manually before and after the game.
