[help] Y'z Shadow with 2 taskbars

Hey, i couldnt find anything with search in regards to my issue so i hope someone may have an answer. I have a dual monitor setup and i use Ultramon to control/assist me with the use of this. One of the features it has is to add 'extend' another taskbar on the 2ndary monitor. This works perfectly however for some reason y'z shadow does not detect this second taskbar as either a taskbar or an application.

My initial thoughts were that i may somehow edit y'z so it realizes the taskbar is extra long but i have no clue how to do that really since i cant find anything within the .ini applicable to that matter.

If all else fails i might have to use that addshadow program i have heard about for winfx but modify it for the second bar.

Anyway thanks anyone for trying to help or even spending your time to read my babble, here is a screenshot of my desktop so you may see the issue at hand.

You could ditch Y'z shadow's taskbar shadow and add your own shadow using Avedesk

That's what I do since that way the shadow doesn't overlap maximized windows, which gets on my nerves

just out of curiosity, what are you settings for the shadow? not that this will fix anything, just curious.

thnx

taijutsushinobi : wow i never knew that you could use ave desk in such a way, however i like it when i have maximized windows as it feels like the taskbar still has top priority; guess its just personal preferance:)

[timmy] : as far as i know they are all defaults with the exception of temporarily turn off drop shadows on moving/resizing.

add this png as a desklet on your desktop then place it underneath your taskbar
