Hey Maniacal, is that a Winamp Skin / Plugin? What's it called?

Here's mine - dual monitor setup

Hey FP,

I just started running dual monitor too, you have got to try out a program called ultramon. It does some really neat things like extend the toolbar all the way across to your other monitor and you can customize it so the second monitors toolbar shows either just the programs open on that monitor or all programs, no more moving to the second monitor or having to use the keyboard to move through programs, easily one of the number one programs I use. I should have the link around here if you want it, it's shareware and should be easily found under ultramon.

GLASS: Already using Ultramon - that's how I get a full wallpaper across both screens.

I found I don't like the extended taskbar. Neither option appeals to me. I don't like having only that monitor's programs displayed on each taskbar, nor do I like the mirrored taskbar.

Besides, the way I use the 2nd monitor for Photoshop, I prefer the extra bit of realestate it would take up.

Cool. Thx. Not crazy about the skin after all, but I like the plugin.

Still like my old Alpine skin the best.

BTW: There's a NEW version 1.0 of the plug-in available from his website: http://go.to/thexagon
