Software Update: UltraMon 3.0.8 Beta

Spread the love

Realtime Soft released a new beta release of UltraMon on Monday. This program is intended for systems with multiple monitors connected. For example, it is possible to spread the desktop across the different screens, with all monitors having a taskbar. Furthermore, windows are a lot easier to drag to another monitor and each screen can have its own background or screensaver. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes:

  • For new installations on Windows 7 and later, UltraMon’s drag maximized windows with the mouse feature is disabled by default. This change was made because Windows 7 has built-in support for this. If you prefer how UltraMon handles dragging of maximized windows, go to UltraMon Options > General and check ‘enable moving of maximized windows using the mouse’ to enable the feature.
  • The display settings change confirmation prompt has been changed to work the same way as the prompt used by Windows, clicking the first button keeps the changes, the second one reverts to the previous settings. Previously UltraMon did this the other way around, with the first button reverting to the previous settings.

Fixed issues:

Known issues:

  • Runtime error in Adobe Acrobat when moving maximized window if Acrobat was launched from CCH ProSystem Engagement. As a workaround, go to UltraMon Options > Compatibility, then configure settings for Adobe Acrobat and check the ‘use alternative method to move maximized window’ option
  • WindowBlinds skins which use transparency aren’t fully supported on Windows XP, you’ll get a black background where the taskbar should be transparent. There is no fix for this, it does work fine on Windows Vista though
  • Docking hints from Xceed Docking Windows library don’t work if UltraMon window buttons are enabled for the application
  • Windows 2000: if you don’t have Windows Installer version 3 or later installed, a driver used by UltraMon’s mirroring feature won’t get updated correctly when doing an upgrade install. Repairing the installation will fix the problem
