Obviously folks have different perspectives, but one thing I HATED about mac's multi-monitor support was having to move to an entirely different screen to access the top-screen menu for a program open on a different screen. You can turn off the each monitor is own space stuff, but then you lose having the menu bar at the top of each screen. (I strongly suspect anyone doing usability testing had things set this way and thought it was just great, and why would anyone want to see the dock all the time anyway. It is rather there when you want it, and hidden otherwise. This might be the 'best' solution, provided you like a hidden dock, as you can then easily access it on any screen, but it is not in the way or annoying you by being seen to 'jump around'. You can hide it, so it won't obscure stuff, but it will still move around whenever mouse is 'bottomed' on a screen for small period of time. If monitors are side by side, you can move it ALL-THE-WAY to the left or right and it will stay there, but that is not as requested (or as many people desire) at the bottom of a single screen. However, few of us arrange this way and those who do would most likely not be asking this question. ![]() If monitors are arranged 'stacked' then the dock will be at bottom of the bottom monitor. (I would be glad to be proven wrong here, but I've looked a bunch and not found a way) Without resorting to a third party app, there is no way to have menu bars in each screen but lock the dock to the bottom of a single screen. For some reason the good folks at apple have conflated the top of screen menu with the dock, and if you get one on any screen, you also get the other. There is to my knowledge no good solution to this issue.
