  How to change which is the primary monitor?

  Posted by David Dubois on April 4, 2006 at 8:07 am

  HI

  I’ve just purchased a shiney new adc-dvi convertor so that I can add a 19″ IBM flat panel to my system.
  I already have a 23″ Cinema display running from an X800XT.

  I plugged the 19″ in and it’s taken over as the primary monitor. It now contains the Dock, Menu bar and Most of my beautifully laid out icons.
  I wish to keep the monitors in the same physical configuration but wish for the menu bar to appear on the 23″ monitor where it belongs.

  Can anyone help me with what shoukd be an oh so simple request (that i can’t find the answer to in the system preferences)

  Thanks in advance

  Dave

  A friend just told me how to do it.
  For those that are interested, you goto the display preferences, then into arrangement and then (even though is does not hightlight) you can drag the menu bar from window to window inside the arrangements preference box.

  Hope that help someone other than me! and thanks to anyone who was goign to reply.
