Req: Taskbar Extender/Spanner
y0himba:
Well is seems that Microsoft, in it's infinite wisdom, changed the graphics architecture in Vista and Windows 7 so that monitor spanning (one huge desktop out of 2 or more monitors) is no longer available.
I am requesting a small program that will span my windows taskbar over 2 (or more) monitors. It should show the program's taksbar entry on the relevant monitor's taskbar. If i have Firefox open on monitor 1, then it's taskbar entry will be on monitor one's taskbar. Then if I have Explorer open on monitor two, it's taskbar entry will be on monitor two's taskbar.
I am hoping that will be all it does. No wallpaper management or anything else. Just a small resident or non-resident program that can be run at startup then hidden and will only appear in the task manager list.
There are a few programs that do this that are shareware but include a ton of other features I am not even interested in.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think this is within the realm of a coding snack -- too big a task i think.
But, there are some existing tools that may work for you:

maybe you can try ZBar, which is freeware.

So glad you added that lanux -- i couldn't remember the name of that free one.

yes, as y0himba requested i like its minimalistic approach, though it also has wallpaper support.. :)
