I noticed you guys finally make an update. I'm glad to know that UltraMon is still on its feet! I have some feature requests here, so listen up. ;)
I was hoping that I will be able to move my system tray & clock to the right side of my Ultramon taskbar and take it off of the Windows Taskbar. This will save me some Monitor #1 taskbar space as I usually use it more than #2.
I was also hoping that I will be able to place at least one windows toolbar onto the ultramon taskbar--even if it's emulated.
I really want my computer to look like the whole taskbar spans across both screens, but I want to keep the monitor-specific placements that Ultramon gives me. So I want my system tray on the far right of my second monitor, having the start button and my quick launch bar at the left of my first monitor, and also have my secondary quicklaunchbar on the right next to the system, tray.
Please allow me to illustrate this, just for full understanding.
This is what I have now (The 2 pixel-wide red line shows where my screens seperate): http://www.cincypunk.net/misc/current.jpg
This is what I want to happen with the help of Ultramon: http://www.cincypunk.net/misc/wanted.jpg
If these features could be included, I will love you for life!

Thanks for the suggestions.
Toolbar docking and taskbar clock will be in UltraMon 3 (not all toolbars will work with UltraMon though), I'm also looking into support for the system tray but don't know yet if it can be done.

It's got to be possible. I mean, Stardock figured out how to get rid of the whole taskbar.
I think I read up about a trojan horse program (No, I don't use them--I was just interested in finding out what they did..so I looked them up on Symantec..or some other site) that could remove different parts of the taskbar, like the start buttom, clock, and I believe system tray.
Of course, that's a trojan horse program and doesn't have much to do with Ultramon systray support..
If you're able to just get the windows taskbar to omit the system tray, then all you have to do is add a system tray module to Ultramon--running off of the XP hidden icons settings. It could just be emulated, but using the same bitmaps for the current style.
I'm not a programmer, so...yeah

Sorry for the double post, but I just did a search and found this registry tweak that disables the XP system tray. This might work on other systems too:

Want to disable Windows XP notification area, system tray, on the taskbar, you can use the following registry hack:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoTrayItemsDisplay
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
