Getting the Trinity Desktop task bar to display on both monitors

Hi,
I am using Q4OS on a Dell Latitude 5300 laptop with an xp pen artist 15.6 pro drawing tablet.
The drawing tablet is connected via HDMI and USB.
I was able to get the display fine on the drawing tablet extending the view. However, I cannot find a way to get the task bar to display on both screens individually.

When I go to the settings of Kicker, there is a Xinerama Screen option that I can set to 1, 2 or All Screens.
However, if I set it to All Screens, it won't display a task bar on each screen. It will stretch the task bar to occupy the space of both screens, which isn't what I want.

How could I get a separate task bar on each screen like on Windows ?

Welcome to the forum

With Q4OS’s Trinity desktop - Trinity/kicker, you can’t get such style per-monitor taskbars the way you expect. What you’re seeing is a known limitation of kicker + Xinerama. This is not a bug, it’s Trinity design.
