support multi-monitor desktop wallpapers and screen savers
mirror your main monitor to secondary monitors for a presentation

Features

Window management
Quickly move windows between monitors or maximize a window to the desktop.

Smart Taskbar
Add an additional taskbar for each secondary monitor and each taskbar only shows tasks from the monitor it is on. This simplies the management of multiple applications.

Application Positioning
Use the tabs added to a shortcut's properties to set an application's position or use custom display settings when the application is running.

Display Profiles
With display profiles, you can quickly change the settings of one or more monitors. You can also create a display profile that gets applied when logging in, especially useful when the computer is used by more than one person, and not everyone wants to use the same display settings.

Desktop Wallpaper
The Wallpaper Manager adds the ability to use a different picture on each monitor, or stretch a single picture across the desktop.

Screen savers
Most screen savers only run on the primary monitor. Blank the secondary monitors when the screen saver is running or run additional screen savers on secondary monitors.

Mirroring
Mirror the primary monitor on one or more secondary monitors, especially useful for presentations. Another unique feature is support for different resolutions. The primary monitor can run at a higher resolution for example. Mirroring is only available on Windows 2000 and XP.
