I've been an UltraMon user for the last couple of years, and I think it's a fabulous product. One of my favorite features is the Smart Taskbar. It's great to have the taskbar icon for each open application appearing in the monitor where it resides, rather than all in the "main" taskbar.
Windows XP introduced the notion of taskbar icon grouping, so if one application has multiple windows open, it can collapse them into a single icon. Clicking the icon yields a list of the available windows, and you can select the one you want.
Today, while working on a project paper for my masters class, I opened the 22 PDF files I've cited in my paper. If they're open in the main window, I have a single taskbar icon that shows "22 Adobe Acrobat 7.0." Clicking the icon yields a pop-up list of the 22 papers. However, if I move the Adobe Acrobat window to the secondary monitor, where the Smart Taskbar resides, I have 22 taskbar icons that are miniscule, requiring me to hover my mouse pointer over each one to see which paper it is.
Is the taskbar grouping a feature that may make its way into a future UltraMon release? I think it would be a terrific addition to an already solid product.
Best regards,

Thanks for the suggestion, support for task grouping will be considered for UltraMon 3.

I very much agree. Ultramon badly needs taskbar grouping, as many of us multi-monitor users put several Explorer and Messenger (or other IM chat) windows on the secondary, which creates a mess on the Smart Taskbar.
Please consider adding this feature to the final version of Ultramon 3.
