Resource Bar option show the following choices grayed out:
Overlap on Second Monitor
Dock on Second Monitor
What can trigger these options to be grayed out?
Solution
These options are grayed out when the Resource Bar sees that there is another monitor but believes that it cannot use it. It tries to ensure that the other monitor is connected to the left or right edge of the current one. The following might prevent it from using the monitor:
* Having something (like the Windows task bar) docked along the vertical edge between the two monitors
* Not having the monitors arranged side-by-side. Possibly if the monitors have very different resolutions (perhaps if the main monitor is more than twice as high as the secondary monitor for instance) then this might make it fail to accept the second monitor as being suitably placed.
