System Tray and/or Toolbars on multiple monitors

[IZeeLikeEyeZee]

Idk if this is possible with how y'all change up the taskbar and stuff since ik its not possible natively, but it would be awesome if we could have the system tray and toolbars on multiple monitors, since often im gaming or whatever and it makes toolbars and the system tray pretty inaccessible. Changing primary monitors is not an option since then a bunch of games open on my second monitor and can be hard to get to my main monitor. Even if it was possible to just like duplicate the taskbar across all monitors would be great!

+1, it would be nice if there is an option to duplicate taskbar on all monitors (including notification panel)

This sounds like something Microsoft would do.

As someone with 4 monitors its strange to me that I have to choose only one to have the System Tray by default. I know one as to be the "main" taskbar but why can't they all look / function the same? I can have time on all of them (and clicking the time does the same thing on all of them) but not volume? This is exactly the kind of thing ExplorerPatcher is made to solve so big +1 from me.

Try this: https://gearupwindows.com/how-to-show-the-taskbar-on-all-monitor-on-windows-11/

Although it indicates that the system tray will only be shown on your primary monitor. Without code existing that would show the system tray on all monitors, explorer patcher cannot enable such a feature.

All of these features exist because Microsoft disabled the features, but did not remove the code for them.

All those features exist because of the aim to enhance the working environment on Windows.
Also, which version of windows had the option for "opening the start menu on the monitor containing the cursor" again?
Which version of windows literally had the "Simple Window Switcher" which is quote "My own take on implementing this kind of functionality" ?

You have access to the source code. You try adding it.

I'd rather request it. Thanks for your attempt at help. I'm sure you did your best.
