Default dual screen doesn't show task bar hardware or toolbars

Replying to 11/11 Paul

I think it's design intent to not copy the Task Bars exactly.

You may find a third party software to do it though.
It depends on whether the feature request for it
got implemented.

I shot video of the second monitor, as the second monitor
is on a VESA plate and a number of feet from my desk.
That way, I didn't have to keep running over and looking
at stuff.


Thank you for confirming that I wasn't dreaming that the task bar is
different when you have two monitors.

Two things are different in mine (and I think 3 in yours).

Mine and yours don't have the hardware notification block on both monitors.
I didn't see toolbars on your monitors but I assume you tested them.
(Right click in the taskbar & select toolbars & turn one or two on.)

I saw in the thread in the video of "active" icons versus "pinned" icons.

There is a setting for "active" versus "pinned" icons showing up in the
second monitor which is not my problem at all since that setting works.

If you have it set to show all pinned and active icons in both monitors,
that works just swell. If you turn off that setting, then you only get
active icons in the second monitor and no pinned icons. That works swell.

What doesn't happen, ever, is the two taskbars can never be the same, when
that is what I want. I want both to be the same.

They're almost the same.

The difference is that the second monitor has no toolbars or hardware
notification section.

Is that taskbar difference between monitors a bug or a feature?
