 Using 7.4.2:

Is there any way to remove the System Tray on the primary monitor and only have it, the System Tray, displayed on the secondary monitor? If I deactivate the System Tray on the primary monitor it is also removed on the secondary monitor. Based on my workflow, hardware, and other environmental conditions I desperately need the "extra" screen real estate on the primary monitor Toolbar. This seems like it would be a standard, one check box, selection, but I can figure how to accomplish.

Thank you for you feedback.

Sincerely,
Lars

 Hello Zardoz2293

How did you manage to remove the notification area? Did you remove it from the system taskbar or from the AWM taskbar?

Actually, AWM duplicates the notification area from the one on the system taskbar, so if you want to have it on the secondary only you have to enable it on the system, enable the "Replace the primary taskbar" option in AWM and uncheck the "Show the notification area" in the primary monitor AWM taskbar context menu.

Best regards.

 Bogdan,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm using Tordex's True Launch Bar with AWM. Do you know of any way to get the desired results (notifications only on the secondary monitor)? True Launch Bar is a fantastic product and when coupled with AWM makes for a very powerful working environment. Using your above process I get strange behavior. It's best if you install TLB yourself with it docked on the Windows Toolbar on the primary monitor and AWM on the secondary monitor.

Thank you for any suggestions and recommendations for a solutions.

Sincerely,
Lars

 Zardoz2293

Do you mean you disable the notification area via True Launch Bar?

How you do that?

What strange behavior are you talking about? Could you describe it more detailed?

Best regards.

 Bogdan,

I'm following up on this in AWM 8.2 - Final.

There's the Windows SysTray/Notification Area (herein STNA) and then there is AWM STNA. My concern is two fold:

#1) Is there anyway to disable the Windows STNA while keeping the AWM STNA? Including having the ability to perform the opposite (as in AWM STNA disabled and Windows STNA enabled)? I realize why would I want or need both of these capability and it is very simple. Having one configuration and working with it for a while and then changing the environment and finding which combination provides for the highest productivity.

#2) Currently I have both Windows STNA and AWM STNA displayed. In short it is ridiculous because both STNA display the program icons in a different order. I'm looking for consistency. If ordered then the behavior should always maintain that order which the end-user specified.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Lars

Sincerely,
Lars

 Dear Lars,

the thought is to try to implement the STNA which would have the icons in the same order. Would it suit your needs?

Best regards.

Yes, having the STNA in the same order would be great! The question then is what happens when one reorders or moves via DND at either STNA?

Sincerely,
Lars

 Thank you for your reply, Lars!

What does DND stand for?

 Well, obviously it would be the best if Actual Window Manager taskbar was retaining the icons order after a user has made changes to it on the native Windows taskbar and if it was changing the order of tray icons on the native windows taskbar along with the changes a user made on it it. We're not sure if it can be implemented that way, but we are ready to consider that request. What are your thoughts?

Best regards.
