Feature Request: dual monitor support for start8 on both monitors.

from Stardock Forums

With Windows 8 you can have the task bar on both monitors now and going down the lower right corner on either monitor brings up the Windows 8 start menu.  I'd like to be able to have the start8 button on both taskbars as well so I can launch apps from the secondary monitor when there's a fullscreen app on the first monitor.

 

Thanks.

When?

Update: I see the option now, at `Desktop → Show a start button on secondary taskbars (if any)`

@John_Peterson1 this is already added. Start8's newest version works on both monitors.

Something added to this, and haven't been able to find yet, is control over the charms bar and other Windows 8 interface components for both monitors.  For example, would like to be able to remove the charms bar from the secondary monitor but not the primary.

Something I'd like to see in the multi-monitor support is emulating of the Windows taskbar on secondary monitors, as it is, I love having the Start8 menu on multiple monitors but the pinning of apps can only be done on the primary taskbar. And some kind of desktop-bar for swapping processes/windows between monitors. If my primary or secondary is currently being utilised by another device this desktop bar would come in handy.

Start8 already supports showing the start button (and thus menu) on all your taskbars.
