Hi,

Long time user and fan of Classic Start Menu - without it, Windows 8.1 would be unbearable.

I recently got a second monitor. The task bar is showing up on both monitors, but the clock and system tray only shows up on the primary monitor, not the secondary.

Is there any way to get the clock to show on both monitors? The system tray doesn't bother me either way, but it would be fantastic to have the clock showing up on both. Is this possible? Why or why not?

Thanks for your time.

With classic shell, no:
However http://www.displayfusion.com/
does have this feature, among many many others. It cost around 20$ though

Is there a reason this feature is unavailable in Classic Shell?

Is it possible to make this feature available?

No, Classic Shell does not yet incorporate a taskbar replacement. It's an enormous task to make one and no justification since there are other commercial but affordable products - DisplayFusion and Actual Multiple Monitors which add a taskbar for additional displays.

Many reasons.. From the tremendous amount of effort such a feature would require, to the fact that to get such a feature, requires re-coding the taskbar from scratch (something display fusion only did, because there was 0 taskbar support on multi-monitor setups at the time of its creation)
Also This particular feature isnt in-line with what classic shell is currently working to accomplish.. (Just because it is multi-monitor aware, doesn't make it a multi-monitor solution)
Then theres the added complexity, and bugs that go along with replacing a core windows component...
So possible, not feasible..
(Also what Gaurav said)

Check out T-Clock Redux for this feature: https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock Windows 10 also has it I think but who wants to be stuck in the dreadful Windows 10 update hell?
