  1. Automatically move taskbar tray to second monitor while gaming?


    I used to keep the taskbar tray on monitor 2 all the time which worked well but with my new setup it makes more sense to keep it on monitor 1. But when I am gaming and the game takes fullscreen, it would be nice to be able to see that stuff on monitor 2. Is it possible to have it move the tray over to monitor 2 when certain apps are running aside from manually moving it myself? Or is there some other creative solution?

    It doubles it, at least in the way he wants, I don't know what you want. The taskbar on the second monitor is seperate from the taskbar on the first. The programs open on the second monitor show up on the second task bar.

    Taskbar on second monitor on Win7

    Anyone know of some good freeware app that will add a taskbar to my second monitor and only show apps on that monitor on its taskbar? I was using Ultramon in XP but wondering if there's something better for Win7. Thanks.
