Title: Multiple Monitor support request
Post by: Vitriolic on September 17, 2008, 12:39 AM: Hi there!

Long time samurize user, and I really would love to have this set up and working for me, but sadly, I run my config on my second monitor. I know that this has been talked about here in the past, and I am curious if this is an option that you are still considering? Please? ;D

i just recently added multimonitor support to my docking bars for another of my programs (Launchbar Commander (https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/LaunchBarCommander/index.html)).. so thanks for reminding me that i can now release a multimon version of DesktopCoral in the next week or so.

I use it to reserve space for Onenote sidenotes, mediamonkey, taskblaze and gyroq

this is a great program. Love it !

I am having a problem with the multi monitor support. I have a dual monitor setup with my primary monitor on the right. Everytime the program loads with windows, the bar loads on the left monitor. Also when I click the options , it loads on the left monitor (which is typically off until I use a program that requires both.) Ideally the bar would stretch across both monitors so if i maximize a window in either monitor, it will reserve the space.

Also, unrelated: I think I have a problem (sometimes) when Desktop Coral auto starts with windows .. it doesnt take up the space until i close and reload it. Windows Vista SP1.

Post by: remailednet on February 15, 2009, 09:42 PM: I believe I have the same issue as txbeatz albeit a slightly different configuration.

My monitor 2 is on the left and set as my primary monitor. When Desktop Coral starts, it always starts on my monitor on the right (which is monitor 1, but not my 'primary' monitor). I have to remember to move it to the other monitor after each reboot.

Hopefully that made some sort of sense.

Post by: qlontz on February 26, 2009, 04:26 AM: Thanks Mouser. I really don't think I can live without coral now :P
Title: Re: Multiple Monitor support request
Post by: mouser on February 26, 2009, 04:29 AM: I've also gotten a bug report from someone at Softonic who confirmed the issue with Desktop Coral not properly reserving space on the screen the first time it's run. So that will be fixed as well and a new update is definitely coming in the next couple of days.
