Hi

I'm running two 27" monitors in extended mode and i was wondering if there is a way to setup nexus dock to be shown on both monitors at the same time ?

Ideally I would like to have exactly the same dock shown on both monitors... so if i'll remove/add item to one dock its automatically updated on the other one.. Is something like that possible ?

I'm new to Nexus dock and love it from day one ;-)

No, it's not possible. The free version of the Nexus dock only allows a single dock.

If you are running Nexus Ultimate, however (or even Winstep Xtreme), you 'kind of' can do what you want, although it's not an automatic process.

The paid versions of the Winstep applications support multiple docks. They also have extensive dock manipulation features, e.g.; you can 'clone' a dock.

So, with Nexus Ultimate you could set up your main dock just the way you want it, then right click the Nexus control icon and select Dock & Shelf Management -> Duplicate dock.

This would create a second dock which is an exact clone of your first dock. You can then attach this second dock to your secondary monitor. The only issue is that changes made in one dock are not reflected in the other dock - you either must duplicate your changes from then on, or use the dock manipulation features to delete the secondary dock and create a new (updated) clone.
