As workaround you could use the "replace the primary taskbar" option (Actual Window Manager -> Multiple Monitors -> Taskbar)

I can't, because on AWMs taskbars [Start] menu there's no contextual right click menu available.

Also, the taskbars seem to be "buggy": I had the AWMs taskbars replacing the primary taskbar, configured autohide, position on top of screen. I ran Cubase maximized on the primary screen. Hitting [Win] key with the mouse on the primary screen "unhides" the taskbar, brings up the [start] menu, and have the taskbar autohide automatically again...

On reactivating the primary taskbar again, the icon graphics of pinned applications were wrong (internet explorer icon for the windows explorer, AWM icon for the internet explorer etc...)

Also, bringing up an auto-hidden AWM taskbar by moving the mouse to the top border of the screen, moving the mouse over a taskbar icon, having the apps preview thumbnails showing, auto-hides the taskbar again.


It seems that AWM's taskbars don't get "focused", when they are unhidden from auto-hide, having them auto-hide again immediately?

- We'll consider adding items of the primary taskbar context menu to the multi-monitor taskbar context menu.

- Do you have this problem with Cubase only? What version of Cubase do you use?

- Could you give me a step-by-step description of how can I reproduce this problem?

- The problem has been confirmed. We'll try to fix it.

Best regards.

Cubase 6.0.5 x64

I tried replacing the primary taskbar and noticed this behaviour of the AWM taskbars, so I had to reactivate the primary taskbar immediately again. I only noticed this with Cubase 6.0.5... I might check with other apps, too...

What I did was replacing the primary taskbar, and then reactivating it again... I have only three apps pinned to the taskbar: iexplorer, explorer and a tool for dragging data to from cubase and to other apps...

I'll see wether I am able to provide a step by step reproducable description...
