I recently upgraded to zorin 12

I was wondering if it's possible to have the dashbar at the bottom of the screen on multiple monitors? instead of just one?

Have you installed xrandr?

Usually that is the package used for multiple screens. I'll delve some more.

See if this helps - if you need to do the Compiz option you will need to install it.

the second screen is working,
it's just that there isn't a dashbar on the second screen like there is in windows 10, just empty space

is there a way to enable this?

are you referring to creating a custom resolution to stretch across both screens?

I think that is what the link I posted referred to?

while that might work, but I would end up with a bezel in the middle of the 2 monitors, which I'd imagine would become irritating,

do you have any other ideas?

I'm afraid I cannot think of anything else - being a one monitor guy!

If you bought Zorin 12 Ultimate, I recommend that you use your registration number that they gave you in email to contact Zorin customer support on their website. Hoepfully the Zorin team dev's are able to help you with that.
