Multiple monitor setup

By default Mac OS X does not copy the menubar and dock to a new screen if you have additional monitors. One workaround is to allocate "spaces", ie set the second monitor to be a "space". They should then follow you when you work on that space. However if you want the menubar displayed and the dock displayed on both at the same time, OSX can't do it. Unless: 1. Install uBar . This lets you get a dock-like thing (actually a copy of Windows Tray). https://ubarapp.com/ ..advantage to this one is it gives you an app launcher menu plus clock and battery status. 2. Install MultiDock . This is the closest I've found to what I want plus it runs on older OSes. https://noteifyapp.com/multidock/  3. Install SecondBar . This duplicates the menubar (albeit not that well - doesn't show battery status, wifi etc... just the menu items - File, Edit, View etc.). https://secondbar.apponic.com/mac/ The combination above is ok.
