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.
APPLIES TO
Ignite 7.0
