Multiple Display Device Taskbars
First Claim
1. A system comprising at least one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules operable to configure a display environment of a computing device to display to support:
- a first taskbar for display on a first display device of the display environment, the first taskbar configured to include a representation of a plurality of applications that are executed by the computing device; and
a second taskbar for display on a second display device of the display environment, the second taskbar configured to include a representation of at least one said application that corresponds to a user interface configured for output on the second display device and does not include a representation of another said application that corresponds to a user interface configured for output on the first display device.

Abstract
Multiple display device taskbars are described. A system is described that includes at least one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware. The one or more modules are operable to configure a display environment of a computing device to display a first taskbar for display on a first display device of the display environment, the first taskbar configured to include a representation of a plurality of applications that are executed by the computing device. The one or more modules are also operable to configure a second taskbar for display on a second display device of the display environment, the second taskbar configured to include a representation of at least one application that corresponds to a user interface configured for output on the second display device and does not include a representation of another application that corresponds to a user interface configured for output on the first display device.

8. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
-
displaying a first taskbar on a first display device of the computing device, the first taskbar including a representation of a first application that is executed on the computing device that corresponds to a first user interface that is to be positioned for display on the first display device; and displaying a second taskbar on a second display device of the computing device, the second taskbar including a representation of the first application and a representation of a second application that is executed on the computing device that corresponds to a second user interface that is to be positioned for display on the second display device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more computer readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computing device, causes the computing device to configure a display environment of an operating system executed by the computing device to include:
-
a primary taskbar for display on a primary display device of the display environment, the primary taskbar configured to include a representation of each application that is being executed by the computing device; and a secondary taskbar for display on a secondary display device of the display environment, the secondary taskbar configured to include a representation for each said application that is executed on the computing device having a corresponding window that is positioned for display on the secondary display device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
