Hello everybody,

I've been running my triple monitor in vertical orientation for a while now and I was wondering if there was any way to stretch the menu bar across all three screens instead of either having separate menu bars or just having one on the middle screen, either some kind of defaults write preference or a third-party utility that would achieve the same effect?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

There's nothing that I'm aware of that will allow this anymore. At one time there were hacks that worked, and apps that you could run (SecondBar), but those apps have long since been abandoned and the hacks no longer work.
 
Too bad, I was hoping I could fix this so that I wouldn't have to live with this issue for another year until the new Mac Pro finally comes out. I'm planning to buy a complete new system including some nice 5K screens that should hopefully fix the missing vertical space on my 1080p screens when used in their normal orientation.
