I have a couple of problems (only noted in the hope a future release may resolve, not because I need an instant answer):
1) Screensaver only ever activates in primary window (allows me to set up on two, preview and actual never work).
2) Desktop icon save doesn't work - all icons always appear on primary desktop next time.

3) The application windows "remember" which monitor to open in, but the status bar does not (I have to switch the app between monitors and back before the icon appears in the correct status bar)

1) With what screen saver does this happen?
2) This could happen if you shut down the system or UltraMon with only a single monitor enabled. UltraMon will then save the current icon positions and overwrite previously saved positions. To prevent this, go to UltraMon Options > General and uncheck 'preserve position of desktop icons'. You can still save/restore icon positions manually.
3) With what application does this happen?

Christian, my apologies for the delay in replying...
1) I have selected two different, so far: Windows Energy on both and Aurora on one and Windows Energy on the other (always on the primary) and only Windows Energy on the primary worked. I've just swapped to WE on secondary and Aurora on primary and Aurora now shows on both, same happens with Aurora on primary and ribbons on secondary (both show Aurora)
2) It seemed to resolve it-self when I had a 'blue screen of death' trying to add a third monitor to the set up - now the (only two) icons I wanted on the secondary monitor always appear there :-)
3) NewsGator Technologies' Topstyle (Pro Version 3.5.0.9) is the only one I've noticed so far.
Many thanks
Rich

1) you'll need to check the 'preview mode' option for the screen saver on the primary monitor, this is necessary because those screen savers have native multi-monitor support and will otherwise run stretched across all monitors.
3) I've been able to reproduce the issue with TopStyle, when the application opens on a secondary monitor, its task button gets added to the primary monitor. I'll look into this for the next release, but can't guarantee that the issue can be fixed.

Ignore my last comment, I have played about and managed to get it to do what I want (not sure how though) :-)
