Yes! A second menu bar for Mac OS X in dual-screen work environments!

Finally! Something that's been annoying me about working with two monitors on the Mac was the lack of a menubar in the secondary monitor. Until recently, DejaMenu was the only real bit of help with this annoyance but I've recently stumbled upon SecondBar. I'm in the midst of installing it and will update this post over time as I evaluate it.

The same developer also has an application called BetterTouchTool for extending the use of Apple's multi-touch wireless Magic Mouse. You can enable more than 2 finger gestures and increase the tracking speed to make moving the cursor across multiple or large monitors easier.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Wow, I received some comments from "Anonymous" people (not the nice ones, the strange ones) - please leave a name if you wish, but I won't plug spam sites.

ANYWAY, Secondbar is working great still! Highly recommended.

Great blog! I truly love how it’s easy on my eyes and the details are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which ought to do the trick! Have a nice day!

Hey, possibly this post is not on topic but in any event, I have been browsing about your site and it looks really neat. It is easy to see I am creating a new blog and I am struggling to make it look great, and supply excellent subject matter. I have learned a lot here and I look forward to additional updates and will be returning.
