Dual Monitor Support?

July 3, 2005 8:44:18 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I just recently downloaded the free version of ObjectDock to try it out. I have used Macs at home for the last couple of years, but use a Windows Machine for work. My problem is, I can't stand the Windows GUI, in either XP or 200 look. I run a dual monitor display, and would like to get ObjectDock on the 2nd monitor (the one that "extends" your desktop). Whenever I open ObjectDock, it defaults to the main monitor. I realize you can place it (top, bottom, etc), but all options only change it on main monitor. Is there any way to drag it, move it, or get it to default to loading on the other monitor?

I never really used the free version, but I'm guessing it doesn't support dual moniotrs. I can however affirm that OD+ supports dual monitors.

Thanks for the reply, Wizop. It's good to know OD+ supports dual monitors. I plan on using the free version for the time being. I use some software (Unigraphics), that is very picky about certain things. I need to make sure it's stable before I buy.

I just create the docks and drag and drop them to where I want on the monitors. Never had a problem, just make sure you save them as a theme afterwards so you can restore the postions easily if they get moved about by mistake (e.g. resolution change when gaming).

Maybe it's not as simple though depending what you use to manage the dual display, I just use nview set to horizontal span.

That works fine for tabbed docks, but you can't drag standard/zooming docks. Open the Dock Properties dialog for the dock > Positioning > Monitor > here you can select the second monitor in the drop down list.
