UltraMon 3.0.3 Pro
Description:
For those of us that have two monitors connected
to a single computer, this program is for you.
Realtime Soft's UltraMon software offers a lot of
neat functions to organize your two desktops, and
move windows between monitors with ease.
Ultramon is a program developed by Realtime Soft.
It works on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows
Vista. The release notes say that it can support
up to 10 monitors! However, with my setup I was
only able to use it with 2 monitors.
Ultramon is great! It allows you to have two
start bars on both monitors. Without Ultramon, you
probably find your start bar cluttered with lots
of programs. If you want to navigate through them
fast, you probably open up the wrong program or
window many times before you find the right one.
Ultramon fixes the problem by spanning the start
bar to both monitors. If a program is displayed on
the left screen, it will be in the left start bar.
If it's on the right screen, it'll be on the right
start bar. So it's easy to figure out which window
you want to use.
It also adds two buttons to the top of each
window by the minimize, restore, and close icons.
These two buttons are:
Maxiimze to Desktop - spans the current window to
cover both monitors
Move - moves the current window to the other
monitor (i.e. if on the right monitor, clicking
the button will move the window to the left
monitor).
Aside from the spanning window bars and quick
buttons. It also allows you customize your
desktop. With this program you can put a different
wallpaper on each monitor. You can even apply
different screen savers. With each setting you
change, you can even save them to a profile, which
you can change at any time. Another great feature
is that you can disable your secondary monitor
very quickly.
The program is not without faults though. First,
the program seems to have a bit of a problem with
the Windows Vista Aero Theme. The Extra two
buttons on the top right of your windows will not
appear. If you switch to the default theme, the
icons will appear. With the Aero theme, the
buttons work fine, but are invisible. So as long
as you know where to aim, you can use it properly.
Second, when you right click the program in the
start bar, it changes the bottom of the list to
Maximize to Desktop. Normally, this spot would be
reserved for the Close function. So, if you're
used to Closing using this, it is a bit annoying.
However, you can change a setting in the program
to remove or reposition these under Options >
Window Menu.
Pros:
Great way to manage two monitors
Uses very little resources
Doubles the size of your start bar
Quick buttons to switch programs from monitor to
monitor
Configure your Wallpapers and Screen Savers for
each monitor manually
Cons:
Small problem with Windows Vista Aero Theme
Annoying placement of move and maximize in the
right click menu (but can be repositioned)
Install Notes:
1. Install using setup file
2. Use the serial.txt for registration
That All
Have fun
