Cinnamon clone panel on all Screens?

Post by Rhys_ »

Hi, is it possible to clone the Taskbar on all screens?
So on all screens I'd have access to the open and pinned applications without moving the mouse cursor to the main screen.

Which Linux Mint version and which edition? It will differ between Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce and maybe also between versions. If you don't know, check System Info in your menu or type inxi -S on the terminal and share here.

Does anyone have an idea on this issue?

A clone of the task bar is i. e. useful when I have a full screen application on the main screen. So I could still use the task bar.

I do not think that is possible, other than doing it manually, which is how I have solved it. At least I have never seen an option to import/export task bar settings.

I too would love this feature. I've not found any solution to it yet.

There already is: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9889

You could always add a second taskbar to another screen, works for me. Won't do exactly what you are asking but hey, give it a try.
