Download UltraMon 3.0.3 Beta

Realtime Soft released a new beta release of Ultramon on Monday. This program is made for systems with multiple monitors connected. For example, it is possible to spread the desktop over the different monitors, whereby the other monitors also have a start bar. Furthermore, windows are a lot easier to drag to another monitor and each screen can have its own background or screensaver. Version 3.0 of Ultramon adds, among other things, full support for Windows Vista and improved support for programs such as Office 2007 and programs launched under a different user account. Below you can find all the changes that have been made in version 3.0.3 beta:

New in this release

• New mirroring feature: the mirroring feature is now available on Windows Vista as well, and has several new modes, in addition to mirroring one or more monitors, you can mirror only a single application, part of the desktop, or the area around the mouse pointer.
  Zooming is supported, and mirroring now preserves aspect ratios when mirroring monitors with different resolutions and aspect ratios. You can pause mirroring (freeze the mirror display). Due to no longer using a display mirror driver, compatibility issues with some video card driver versions and installation issues have been fixed.
• New security feature: all binaries are DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) compatible.

• UltraMon icon doesn’t get added to system tray again on Vista if explorer.exe gets restarted

• Keyboard navigation no longer works after adding a hotkey under UltraMon Options > Hotkeys

Known issues

• 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
