INFORMATION

Windows 8 introduces the ability to have a taskbar on multiple monitors.  Ignite does not currently support this feature.

SYMPTOMS

On the main monitor Ignite will behave in a normal fashion.  If you move Ignite to a secondary monitor and then maximize, it will resize to the display and overlap with the task bar. In some cases this will result in the taskbar covering a portion of Ignite (including the buttons along the bottom).

WORKAROUND

You can work around this issue in a few ways:

• Keep Ignite on the main monitor.
• Do not maximize Ignite on secondary monitors.
• Do not use the feature that enables a taskbar on the secondary monitor.

To disable the multi-monitor taskbar, simply right-click the taskbar and click Properties.  Then go to the Taskbar tab, and uncheck Show taskbar on all displays.
