Ultramon Review
Anyone who has multiple monitors on their computer knows what a pain it can be to keep track of all their open applications. nVidia has software with their graphic cards that helps a bit, but it doesn’t do much to help out with keeping track of applications. This is where Ultramon comes in.
Ultramon’s number one feature is multiple taskbars. Each monitor can have it’s own taskbar, and only the applications/windows that are opened on that monitor show up on the taskbar. It makes keeping track of which window is where much easier.
You can also add buttons to the titlebar of the applications and windows to maximize across all screens, or to quickly move it to another monitor.
With Ultramon’s wallpaper program, you can set up a panoramic background across all your screens, or you can set up a different background for each monitor. You can do the same thing with screensavers as well. Having the Lattice screensaver from Really Slick spread across four screens is quite impressive.
Ultramon is pretty stable under Windows XP. However, it has a few more issues with Vista. The title bar buttons don’t show up most of the time, and the separate taskbars get confused a lot. They are working on releasing an update soon that will fix most of the Vista problems, but until then, it can be a bit annoying.
I’d highly recommend trying Ultramon if you have multiple monitors. You can download a trial here
