Go to:
Setup will upgrade your existing installation and preserve your settings and registration information. You don't need to uninstall your current installation of UltraMon first.
If you are installing the 64-bit version of UltraMon: upgrading the 32-bit version or a beta 64-bit release is not supported, you'll need to uninstall the existing installation first.
• Support for 64-bit Windows x64
UltraMon now has full support for Windows x64, the 64-bit version of Windows for AMD64 and Intel EM64T 64-bit systems. Please note that Intel Itanium systems are not supported.
• Support for deployment via group policy software installation
If your organization uses Active Directory, you can now deploy UltraMon company-wide via group policy software installation.
• Improved support for mirroring 3D applications
UltraMon can now mirror a broader range of 3D applications if 'disable video overlays and 3D acceleration' is checked under mirroring options. Please note that there are still 3D applications which can't be mirrored by UltraMon, and some applications won't work if 3D acceleration is disabled (especially games).
• Set custom height for UltraMon taskbars
You can now override the height of the UltraMon taskbars by setting a fixed height in the registry. This is useful if the default height of the taskbar doesn't match the height of the Windows taskbar.
To set the height override, run regedit.exe, go to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Smart Taskbar', then set the HeightOverride value to the desired height of the taskbar in pixels. If the value doesn't exist, create a new DWORD value named HeightOverride. After restarting the Smart Taskbar, the new height will be used.
To use the default height again, set HeightOverride to zero.
• UltraMon taskbar no longer accessible if a fullscreen application is running on the monitor
In previous releases, the taskbar could be shown even if a fullscreen application was running, by moving the mouse to the screen edge with the taskbar. By default this is no longer possible, due to this feature causing problems with some fullscreen applications, for example games, remote control and virtual machine applications.
To use the old behavior, run regedit.exe, go to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Smart Taskbar' and add a new DWORD value named LegacyFullScreenAppBehavior. This value needs to be set to 1 to use the old fullscreen behavior, to 0 to use the new default behavior.
• Startup delay
Delayed startup can now be configured in the registry, the /delay command-line argument is no longer supported.
To do this, run regedit.exe, go to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon', then set AutoStartDelay to the number of seconds by which startup should be delayed.
• Disabling automatic startup
To disable automatic startup, run regedit.exe, go to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon', then set AutoStart to 0.
Please note that UltraMon no longer creates a shortcut in Start Menu > Programs > Startup, automatic startup is now controlled through this registry setting.
• Mirroring a secondary monitor on the primary is no longer supported
If the primary monitor is configured to mirror a secondary monitor, you'll get an error message when starting mirroring. To fix this, you should either mirror the primary monitor on the secondary monitor instead, or change the primary monitor before starting mirroring.
• Some hotkeys not preserved when doing an upgrade
When doing an upgrade install, hotkeys which launch a file, such as 'Run application or script', 'Launch UltraMon shortcut' and 'Apply display profile', don't get preserved. Workaround: before upgrading, run regedit.exe, right-click the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Hotkeys', select Export from the menu and save the key to a .reg file. Delete the Hotkeys registry key, then install the new version. After setup has finished, close UltraMon and run the .reg file to import your old hotkey settings.
