neowin1338 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hello, I am looking into a free taskbar that adapts to the theme of the desktop like aero for a dual screen on the second monitor. tried display fusion and ultramon but its limited to 30 days only. MultiMon Taskbar is free but doesn't look nice on Windows 7 and also does not display the actual screens correctly presenting some ghost screen for some reason. Windows 8 would be optimal but I cant upgrade the machines.

Seahorsepip Veteran Posted January 6, 2015 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2015 What's wrong with displayfusion? It has a free version that should work fine for the basic features.

neowin1338 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 After going on Free the second Taskbar disappears. At least on all the Machines I have seen. Not using it myself due to Windows 8.1. Cant activate it in the settings either: http://www.displayfusion.com/Compare/ Pretty useless Free Version of a multi monitor taskbar, isn't it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1242160-free-taskbar-for-windows-xp-and-7-that-adapts-to-the-desktop-theme-for-dual-screen/#findComment-596707582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't much alternatives since most people aren't that lucky to have multiple monitors Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1242160-free-taskbar-for-windows-xp-and-7-that-adapts-to-the-desktop-theme-for-dual-screen/#findComment-596708172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin1338 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well I would already need 10 licenses right away and they are all Win7 machines. In less than 1 Year I will hope to upgrade them on Windows 10 and have the problem solved by the System Taskbar functionality. btw - Everyone who works with a PC should have 2 monitors. Once you go dual - you never go back Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1242160-free-taskbar-for-windows-xp-and-7-that-adapts-to-the-desktop-theme-for-dual-screen/#findComment-596708460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoken Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Only $35 for unlimited personal computers on Display Fusion.. Not that bad. Haven't seen any free ones that don't, well, suck.
