Multiple Monitors windows 7 & newer? - donnell - 05-05-2013

Love my TLB!

(searched but only found 2001 post - this is relevant for 2013)

TLB 6.5 paid, installed on w7 64bit Asus G73 laptop w/ external monitor > "Extend these displays"

I run my TLB w/ AutoHide, docked Right, Always on Top.

with a 2nd monitor set to the Right, the cursor just goes straight over to the 2nd monitor - does NOT popup TLB.

I've tried a bunch of different settings but hasn't made a difference.

Seems like it would need a special setting or fix to "over-rule" a deep system setting such as multiple monitors > extend the desktop?

Any way to fix this & maintain my preferences?
(i.e. - I need to keep BOTH the monitor AND TLB to the Right,
and I still want TLB to AutoHide).

Thx very much for your time to answer ~

True Launch Bar have the special option for your case. Right-click the empty space of the toolbar and open "Toolbar Properties". You have to set the Hot Spot size into something greater then zero (look at attached screenshot).

How to return the toolbar back (if you can't to access it to right-click it):
First exit standalone True Launch Bar: right click eny toolbar and select "Exit". Find the file: %appdata%\Tordex\True Launch Bar\standalone.xml
You can delete this file and recreate toolbar after running Standalone TLB (the toolbar content will be saved). Or open this file with notepad (or any xml editor), find the srting

Code:
hotSpot="0"

and replace it with

Code:
hotSpot="10"

So you have 10 pixels at the right side of the screen to activate toolbar popup.

Thx Yuri - I was actually the one who asked you to explain the code for this severl months back! Smile

but I forgot about this functionality, as I only just started using the multiple monitor.

I Love my TLB! Thanks for clarifying how to use it best.
