Download UltraMon 3.2.0

Realtime Soft has released version 3.2.0 of UltraMon. This program is intended for systems to which several monitors are connected. For example, it is possible to spread the desktop across the screens, with all monitors having their own taskbar. Furthermore, applications can be set on which monitor they open. Also windows, among other things, are a lot easier to drag to another monitor and each screen can have its own background or screensaver. Below you can find everything that has changed in this release.

New in this release

• Support for Windows 8 (release preview):
  • window buttons: the buttons now work on Windows 8, and match the look of the native buttons (Aero and Basic visual styles)
  • wallpaper manager: wallpaper gets laid out correctly if you have a monitor to the left of the primary monitor
  • Smart Taskbar: if UltraMon gets installed for the first time on a Windows 8 system, and the multi-monitor taskbar is enabled, the Smart Taskbar is disabled by default (you can still enable it via UltraMon Options > Smart Taskbar)

changes

• Windows 2000 is no longer supported, 3.2.0 requires Windows XP SP2 or later, or Server 2003 SP1 or later.
• If you have configured compatibility settings for 16-bit applications, you’ll need to recreate those settings. This is due to a change in how 16-bit applications are handled. Please note that your settings will apply to all 16-bit applications, this was the case previously as well, but the user interface allowed setting up different settings for different 16-bit applications.
• All binaries (executables and DLL files) are now digitally signed, previously only the setup file was signed.
