Ultramon: Double vision
Ciaran Moore - November 24, 2006Nowadays most video cards support dual monitors and the prices of LCD displays have come down considerably so more people are using dual monitors than before. Some people find them useful if they do a lot of graphic or design work, as it allows more workspace without having to constantly maximise and minimise windows,etc. Ultramon is software to help you get the most out of a multi-monitor set-up.
It adds additional window buttons, so you can quickly move windows or stretch a window across the desktop.
It also uses a “Smart Taskbar” to manage more applications, so that you have a taskbar on each monitor and each taskbar only showing the tasks from the monitor it’s on.
Shortcut extensions make it easy to position applications on the desired monitor. The UltraMon screen saver and wallpaper manager make it possible to use a different wallpaper and screen saver on each monitor too. It also includes a flexible mirroring feature with support for mirroring one or more monitors, and use different resolutions for each monitor.Its also pretty cool to be able to move windows from one screen to the other!

I was using this with my old CRT’s back in the day. Now I use CineMastery on my new quad screen array from CineMassive Displays CineMastery appears to be some sort of more modern upgraded variant of the older Ultramon I knew and loved. Wonderful stuff. Works beautifully.

Dear Multi-Monitor Coven,
I only have a two screen array but also use CineMastery from CineMassive Displays. It works so well and I cannot imagine going back to a single monitor ever again. The pleasure of not having to open and close windows all day is immense. I work faster, smarter and enjoy myself much much more with this setup.
