Im running 2x philips 22" lcd's off my asus 9550ge/td 256mb graphics card.

Im using Display fusion so i can have the background across both screens and set the reslution. Both screens are on 1680x1050 pixils.

As you can see in the photo the left screen is the main screen with the toolbar. What im wanting to no is there a way to have the toolbar along the bottom of both screens / long toolbar?

Thanks

627564 2008-01-05 13:29:00 I have got a similar setup as you have. I have got a nvidia card, so under the nvidia control panel, its gives me the option to configure the two screens as one horizontal span (basically what you are asking for), have a look under your display settings, there must be an option to configure your screens in different ways.. ronyville (10611)
627565 2008-01-05 13:34:00 Yeh i have had a look under Display proprties and under the graphics card software and havnt found anything yet. i dled ultramon its ok. Im going to see if can just get it on full horizontal span bluezone (12434)
627566 2008-01-05 13:36:00 Configuring it to behave like a single giant screen is not a good idea - it completely destroys maximising windows when the darn thing suddenly balloons out to fill both screens at once. Especially when the darn thing in question is a web browser.

As far as I'm aware Windows is not capable of displaying the taskbar across multiple screens (although I'm not sure about Vista). KDE certainly can, but I doubt you want to change your OS just to get a dual-screen taskbar :rolleyes:.
