 I have set the taskbar on both monitors to be 2 lines high, with open programs at the top and custom toolbars at the bottom. But every time I restart my PC or Actual Windows Manager, the taskbar on the secundary monitor resets to a single line with the custom toolbars in the middle and open programs on the left.

This is about Actual Window Manager 8.0 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

 Hi again, Plinfut,

Please go to %AppData%\Actual Tools\Actual Window Manager and check if this folder has read only properties. If it has-uncheck it please.

Any questions?Mail to support@actualtools.com!

 Hello Alexander,

Thank you for your advice. I have checked this and this folder has mixed read only properties. When lifting the read only state on this folder, all sub-folders and files, and reopening the properties dialog, it is mixed again. The same goes for all sub-folders individually, but all files are writable. Despite this, the taskbar still resets to its default size. (Though the toolbars are still loaded, so that part is saved. Just the dimension of the taskbar and the positions of the toolbars aren't.)

Hopefully this information inspires for another possible fix.

Kind regards,
Plinfut

 Hi Plinfut,

What do you mean under " it is mixed again"? In which way they are mixed?

 Hello Alexander,

I mean the state looks like this:

None of the files and sub-folders (even the files within sub-folders) are read-only though, so I'm not quite sure why it shows this state.

Kind regards,
Plinfut

 I just tried that, but the result is the same: as soon as I open the dialog again, the state is back to mixed, despite none of the files inside (including inside sub-folders) being read only.

I even disabled the folder option "Hide protected system files" and set the folder to read only and back again, still with the same result.

 Try changing name of the folder from Actual Window Manager to Actual Window Manager1 so that program will forget these settings and restore to defaults(don't forget to turn AWM off). Then make the taskbar as you need it and see if the issue persists

 I have tried closing AWM, renaming the settings folder, starting AWM (a new settings folder was created automatically and everything was back to default indeed), adding toolbars on a second line of the taskbar, closing AWM again and starting it once more. But the problem still persists: the toolbars are loaded correctly, but the taskbar is back to one line and the toolbars are moved to there.  :|

 Hello Plinfut

Does the problem occur if you don't add the custom toolbars on the taskbar?

Best regards.
