Gnome – multiple monitor taskbar (Ultramon alternative)


If you are using Linux on multiple monitors you are surely going to miss Utramon, but don’t worry. Gnome has the option of Ultramon in built so no extra application needed.

You can get your task-bar on multiple monitors using the following instructions

Instructions:
1.) Right click on anywhere on the launch-bar, click “New Panel”
2.) Drag that to any monitor.
3.) Right click on that panel, and click “Add to Panel”
4.) Select “Window List” under Desktop and Windows
5.) Click Add.
6.) Click Close, and you’re done.

No more having windows from all monitors listed on the primary monitor itself :)

    Very cool. Thanks for the post. The only thing I had to look up was how to drag the new panel over to the other screen.

    “To move a panel to another side of the screen, press and hold ALT and drag the panel to its new location. “

    UltraMon can lock the cursor to the current or primary monitor. Any ideas how I can accomplish that?
