Hello - I have multiple monitors and I like having all my Dockers on a separate monitor from the CorelDraw actual application so that I don't lose any working space - and this works except that I have to reposition the dockers every time I start CorelDraw - it doesn't remember their location so it just stacks them all on top of one another on the second monitor and I have to drag them around each time I launch the app - does anyone happen to know if there is a way to get them to remember where they were so that I do not have to do that every time?
I'm attaching an image to explain better - effectively the left half of the (very wide) image is monitor 1 and the right half is monitor 2 - so the Dockers not take up any space in my working space...

Looking at your image it seems you have your 'desktop" set to the RIGHT monitor and I THINK Corel wants to start on the desktop. Try setting your monitors so NO 1 is where the desktop is.You will lose a little work space at the bottom for the taskbar . Set the RIGHT monitor so you don't have the desktop duplicate over to it. That is the way I have my two monitors setup in the Shop and all programs except Anime studio pro return to the layout I have given them. For that one I had to install hot key and use it to make the Dockers be where I wanted them.
Thanks for the quick response - my only problem is my primary monitor is smaller and my 'left' monitor is huge and IPS - so I really prefer working on it and leaving my dockers on the smaller monitor - so it is what it is - but thanks again for the info and the quick reply!
Have you thought about swapping the monitors numerically. Giving the Small one No1 and the Large No2 ? Then physically placing the monitors to the way you want to work.
That an excellent idea... but... I have the monitor I like to do design work on setup to my left because it is most comfortable and it happens to be my largest monitor and it is also IPS, so much nicer for working with things where I need colors just right... but at least I know it is possible to fix this - other than my own little quirks...
I have my system setup so left monitor is main screen #1 and Coreldraw drawings work there and right monitor #2 has all the dockers located there.
I saved the layout workspace and every time CD opens, all the dockers are located where I left them last time or to my saved workspace.
As mentioned above, all you need to do is use windows (rt click desktop, click on screen resolution, and see if your displays are numbered in correct order for #1 to be on left as main screen, click on "identify". if not, change them ...you can still leave the big screen on left side.
I have left screen in landscape mode and right screen in portrait mode.
