When nothing is on the desktop of your computer or PD1560, except the wallpaper, you are in Extend mode where the two displays, the computer monitor and PD1560, run respectively. When in this mode, you should drag the drawing program from computer monitor to PD1560, and icons and the taskbar might be on respective displays. Sometimes there are no any icons on the computer monitor or on PD1560. You may want to show all icons on PD1560 or on the computer monitor. The following steps will help you to make the icons on the display that you want.

2. icons on PD1560 but the taskbar on the computer monitor
3. icons and the taskbar all on PD1560, leaving nothing on the computer monitor
4. icons and the taskbar all on the computer monitor, leaving nothing on PD1560

In macOS:

If you have connected PD1560 to your Mac Notebook before booting your Mac, here taking MacBook Air as an example, once you boot it, you are in the extension mode. In this mode, the dock and the icons will only show on the built-in display, leaving nothing on PD1560, except the wallpaper.

When in this mode, you should drag the drawing program from Mac to PD1560 to draw. For example, when you start the Photoshop, it might open in the built-in display, the Mac. You, however, need to draw on PD1560 and the user interface of Photoshop is not in PD1560. At this time, you should drag Photoshop from Mac into PD1560. The following steps will tell you how to know which display mode you are in and how to change the main display.

• Select ‘System Preferences’ from the Apple menu.

• Type ‘display’ in the search box and press ‘Enter’ key, you’ll be in the window of ‘Built-in Display’

• Click ‘Arrangement’ tab and please check whether ‘Mirror Displays’ has been selected, shown as below. If not, you are in extension mode. When in this mode, if you dragged the white bar from one of the blue boxes to the other, the main desktop will move to the other display.

• If you wanted to show the dock on both displays, the computer monitor, and PD1560, you should select ‘Mirror Displays’ to enter the mirroring mode. This mode will copy the main desktop from the main display to the other display.
