You should now have the end result you’re after: a Dock on your Mac that spans dual displays / two external monitors consistently that serves as a complete replacement for the built-in Mac OS Dock app. If you use the Theme outlined in my configuration settings above then the Screen Edge Margins bottom value can be set to 44 for a perfect alignment with nothing overlapping the uBar. I do this myself, and it’s one of the main reasons I needed/wanted a Dock that spanned both monitors. If you use the SizeUp app to affix applications to portions of your display, you can use the Margins feature to offset your windows so that they don’t overlap the uBar. Once you’d done this for all of the apps you want in your bar, you’re done! The process may seem long and tedious, but trust me that once you finish it you’ll have exactly what you’re after: an awesome replacement for the Mac Dock that spans multiple external display monitors.

Out of the box, uBar may not seem like an ideal solution but with the right configuration it’s a 100% replacement for the Mac’s built-in Dock app. It is a lifetime license though, and in my opinion it’s a worth the cost for the productivity gains. This is mandatory, and unfortunately a license will cost you $30. This is a third-party app that will replaced the native Mac OS dock. I’ve tried all of the suggested approaches mentioned on the Apple stackexchange and Apple support forms, and this is by far the best scenario I’ve chosen to use as part of my everyday work flow. You can get it setup so that it’s available on both, but what most people are after (myself included) is a seamless dock that spans two external display monitors reliably.
