Download UltraMon 3.0.5 Beta

Realtime Soft released a new beta release of UltraMon on Wednesday. This program is made 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. Version 3.0 has been in development for two years now and this fifth beta release includes the following changes and improvements:

Fixed issues:

• Window buttons get added to application which has no regular title bar
• After changing the key combination for a hotkey, the original key combination still works on Windows Vista
