Advanced Multi-Monitor Utility for Power Users
UltraMon delivers a comprehensive solution for Windows users managing multiple displays. Offering refined control across several monitors, this utility enhances productivity through smart taskbars, window management tools, and deep customization options.
Intuitive Multi-Tasking Features
A core strength of UltraMon lies in its Smart Taskbar feature. Each monitor gains its own taskbar, which displays only the windows active on that specific screen, making it much simpler to keep track of open applications and avoid clutter. This functionality closely matches the aesthetics of modern Windows versions, ensuring the taskbars appear native to your system.
Window management is significantly enhanced by additional window controls. UltraMon adds new buttons to application title bars, allowing users to quickly move windows between monitors or stretch them across multiple screens. Keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys bring further flexibility, with support for using the Windows key as a modifier to speed up workflow.
Customization and Profiles
Customization is another standout element. UltraMon allows for per-application settings using its Compatibility tab, so specific programs can be tuned to behave individually according to user needs. The profile system supports saving different display arrangements and settings, making it convenient to switch setups for different tasks or work environments. Customizable wallpaper and screensaver options per monitor provide additional personalization.
Compatibility and Performance
UltraMon is compatible with a broad range of Windows versions, especially excelling with Windows 7 and newer systems. It uses robust hooks to ensure reliable window button integration and taskbar functionality with various applications, minimizing conflicts.
Security is addressed through support for Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), aligning with modern Windows standards. A settings change confirmation prompt, including a user-configurable timeout, prevents accidental misconfigurations.
Performance impact is minimal even with several monitors in use, and the application runs quietly in the background without interfering with daily activities.
Usability and Support
Installation is straightforward, and the interface is designed for users comfortable navigating system settings. Novices may require some acclimation, but well-written documentation and support resources are available to assist with more advanced features.
UltraMon does not significantly alter any default Windows behaviors, so users can safely try its features without risk of system instability.
