What UltraMon is
UltraMon is a Windows utility for managing systems with multiple monitors and organizing the desktop around them. It adds window buttons for moving windows between screens or maximizing one window across the full desktop. Its Smart Taskbar extends Windows 8 and later’s built-in multi-monitor taskbar, while Windows 7 and earlier can receive taskbars on secondary monitors. Display profiles change settings for one or more monitors and can apply those settings at login. Wallpaper can differ by monitor or stretch across the desktop, and secondary screens can run or blank screen savers. UltraMon can mirror a primary monitor or one application to secondary displays, including displays with different resolutions. The Display Settings applet supports more than 10 monitors. Scripts and the UltraMon SDK support automation and COM-based additions. It requires standard multi-monitor driver mode; span/stretch mode and Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go are unsupported.
