dual monitors: 2nd dock on 2nd monitor?

Snow Leopard 10.6.8 running on a late 2009 Mac Mini

Well I bought this really nice HP 24" monitor and put my old 22" Acer in
the box....it sat there looking so lonely, and I finally realized I
could use the old 22" for a dual monitor setup. Got the cable, hooked it
up, works like a charm. Did a little reading to see what more I might
need to do.

I found an app that will duplicate the menu bar on the 2nd monitor
(SecondBar) but I have not found any option to have the *dock* also
replicated on the 2nd monitor.
Anybody know of an app to clone the dock on monitor #2? It would be nice
to not have to chase across miles of pixels every time I needed to
access the dock from monitor #2....
OH, and any other useful apps I might like?
TIA

 

you can have as many docks as you want, wherever you want:

Well, DragThing will give you a very nice and useful second dock even
on a single monitor (and has never given me an instant's grief over
several years of use).

I played around once with the Apple dock and DragThing on a laptop
plus monitor setup without Mirroring turned on, just to see what would
-- but I've frankly forgotten now whether I was able assign one dock
to each screen, or not.

 

Well, that clinches it. I've been using the old Drop Drawers for years
and was thinking of upgrading to Dragthing, so it's definitely time!!
Thanks again, you all are always the best!!

 

It has been one of the best and solid features built into Macs
for ages and across lots of OSs. Always brilliant. You could
stack monitors left and right and vertically too!

You might tire or get confused of treating both monitors equally
yet having the lot as a big desktop, but I guess it depends on
how you will use the two screen. I have always run a second
screen to keep disk directory windows on, to offload box menus
(there are millions in PS and Illustrator ...) and to keep the
main screen uncluttered. I sit with the main monitor in front (it
carries the strip menu at top and dock), the supplementary
monitor is to the left.

You would not have to do this if you used your monitors for
different purposes.

No, best to be happy with what you have like me.
