    Hi,
    I'm using 24" monitor with my mbp. What I would like to know is when I cmd-tab to change app, can I have the row of icons (I don't know what it's called...) show up on all monitors, not just the mbp monitor?

    It's a small annoyance really, but would be great if I could have the icons on the monitor I'm looking at.

    thanks.

    change the main display

    a simple fix might be to switch the main display to your external monitor. open the Display pref pane, and drag the menu bar over to the secondary monitor. then the cmd-tab menu will show up there...

    but i don't think you can get the cmd-tab menu to mirror across both screens.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose that has the same effect more or less.
