Modern Mix taskbar buttons don't seem to respect the option to move the taskbar button to the screen the app is open on. V1.09

No, nothing like that installed. This is on a vanilla Windows 8.1 install with just the Nvidia drivers installed.

I believe this will be addressed in the next update.

The ModernMix 1.11 beta update should resolve this.

Same issue exists in version 1.15, probably due to the fact that the taskbar button is maintained by Windows now.

The application button is only visible on the main screen task bar, even though the app is positioned on a secondary screen.

Yes, the taskbar button is now under the control of the OS now on 8.1 Update 1.

Unfortunately that means any issues with that would need to be resolved by Microsoft.

There is a registry key to switch ModernMix back into providing the buttons, but it has other side effects and we would not recommend the use of that,

Ver. 1.20... When I plug my laptop in my dock, I can open Apps as Windows Modern in Full Screen mode without problem on my laptop screen... but if I do switch the App view for a Desktop Window mode... (even before trying to get it to my second monitor) then the computer slows down completely... and I can only close the app, as it is useless... This is not happening, if the laptop is not docked. Dock: Targus ACP70USZ, on Windows Pro 8.1 Update 1 (with all updates for Windows and the Dock).  Thanks.
