Hello,

I use UltraMon 3.0.2 within Windows Vista Ultimate. Everything works perfectly, only have found one small thing.
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1302.1018 doesn't show the 'Move to Other Monitor' icon at the top right. I especially move chat windows a lot since they never are there where I want them to be :)

I have tried some different settings, but nothing helped.

Do the buttons appear if you move or resize the chat window?

The UltraMon buttons work fine for me with Live Messenger, I tested on 32-bit Vista with UltraMon 3.0.2 and the same version of Live Messenger you are using. This was with the Aero theme with the transparent window title bar.

Dear Christian,

I tried it, and then noticed the real problem. The problem is that MSN Messenger uses it's own GUI stuff for some reason. If you press Alt, you see the real titlebar with all icons. See this image:

So it's absolutely not a bug in Ultramon but a useless feature in MSN that's defecting the concept.

But if Ultramon could work around this MSN problem, it would be great :-)

By the way, I use the 64-bit version of both Windows Vista and Ultramon.

Currently I don't see a fix for this due to the custom title bar.

BTW, on my 32-bit Vista system the menu bar is always visible, I'm not sure though how this got enabled.
