Add option to select which monitor the Start is displayed on?

October 18, 2013 11:56:18 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Could you add this option please? I have more than one monitor, and I would like to select which monitor Start is displayed on. This seems like it would be a great option to add in Start8.

 

Can we get this done? Or, is there something else that does it?

You can already control which monitor the start button appears on.

Make sure you have set Windows 8 to show a taskbar on each monitor and then open the Start8 configuration and pick the Desktop page and the settings are at the top.

Not the "Start button". The Start screen, which Microsoft now calls "Start". I want to control which monitor the Start screen displays on.

So, what do you think? I know it can be done. But, will you guys do it? It's seriously a crazy good idea.

We can certainly look into it.

Can someone drop me a line when/if it's added? Or, drop me a line if it isn't going to be added?

 

I'd greatly appreciate it.

The Start8-Menu always opens on the screen with the primary taskbar. You can already unlock und move it to the other screen.

But another thing related to this would be great: I'd like to always have the menu open on the screen i'm currently looking at. So, to implement this, my idea would be to add a setting which always opens the menu on the screen where the mouse is currently on.
