Add Dock to second monitor on Mac OS X

Is it at all possible to add a dock to a second monitor on Mac OS X? If so, how?

Solution 1:

No.

At least not native. OS X ties the menu bar and dock to one "main" monitor and uses the second as secondary displays.

Solution 2:

this will not add a second dock to your display, however it will move the dock to the second monitor. How? go to System Pref->Displays->Arrangement then move the second monitor below the main one, so when refreshed your dock appears on your second display ( notably the screen position is bottom ) hope this helps...

Solution 3:

If you are not too picky with the task bar being on the far right, I find setting the "position on screen" to "right" will move the dock to the second screen, WAY over to the right of my workspace. Not a BIG deal for me, some I imagine would get annoyed I would guess. For me I use the dock mostly for monitoring what my Mac is up to and use a mouse button to jump between apps. Is an option. Hope it helps!

Solution 4:

Dock-It gives you a second configurable dock. Not as intuitive as the Mac doc, but once you've added your items via the interface, you have a hiding dock.

Solution 5:

Secondbar for a second menu bar and Yahoo widget engine with WidgDock for a second customizable dock.

I love both apps – they work perfectly and are free.
