Multiple Monitors?
Sunday, April 21, 2002 by FatherStorm | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Anyone know how to get a theme to save for and work on multiple monitors? I'd like to set it up, but need to place items on at least 3 different moitors. (4 on system)

actually i have some good news for you.
a few days ago on the object bar newsgroup Jeff (the developer) posted that the latest internal builds of OB supported multiple monitors.
i have just tested this using OB 1.04a (from OD) on my 2 monitor system, and it does seem to work.
i have my normal taskbar docked to the bottom of monitor one, and a test bar grabbed from the developer theme docked to the top of my second monitor. saving the theme, exiting OB, and reloading, and both bars are where i put them.
admitadly the developer bar doesnt work very well since i havent imported any of the menus it wants to use, but as a quick and dirty experiment this looks good.
NOTE: OB 1.04a is still listed as a beta release. personally i have no problems with it, but i beleive some people have.

Anyways, a theme for which program? can't say much with that info.
Although I can say that you're probably out of luck. WB is almost the only ODNT program that "supports" multiple monitors. Neither DesktopX or ObjectBar does.
best luck, if you manage to get something to work, please tell me. I'm a multiple monitor user myself.
