systray for dual-monitors?

Nitro · 01-26-2003, 12:18 AM

here I go again about dual monitors....I finally have 'em working hardware wize, now I need to ask a question about software. The nview software I'm running right now its great, but I want a separate systray for each screen, each one containing all of the tasks currently being run in that monitor screen. Am I asking the impossible, or can this be done?

I am running
win98
Celeron 1ghz
327mb RAM (PC100)
GeForce4 MX 440 64mb PCI
Voodoo Banshee 16mb PCI
TNT2 32mb onboard AGP (disabled)
some cheap-*** onboard sound card

I dont think it can be done, since the programs doesnt run of different monitors, but are just displayed in different monitors.

well, it could be done uyisng screen positions. say the top left corner of the screen is past 1024 pixels, it displays on the systray that is on the second monitor. I figure it CAN be done, but I doubt it HAS been done yet.

It almost certainly COULD be done, but unless you're willing to code your own Systray replacement, I wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon. It would be kinda neat though...

it would be great if you coded your own sys tray app, but would take time
