Taskbars On All Your Monitors
February 4, 2011 – 6:00 am
I have read some studies that suggest adding a second monitor can improve your productivity by as much as 30%. I use a 21 inch Dell monitor in addition to the monitor on my MacBook when I am at home and the extra screen real estate sure make it much easier to work.
Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks with a dual monitor setup. I don’t like not having a dock on the second screen which is the same problem Windows users experience with their taskbar.
Fortunately, ZBar solves the problem for Windows users. It give them the same Start bar functionality on both screen. You can even customize the taskbar and the desktop background on both screens.
ZBar is FREE (as in beer). Check it out. Mac users are going to have to wait – this is a Windows only application.
