looking at the picture you send .I have tried to make the larger screen the main screen but I can not move the upper menu bar from one screen to other.be for I remember having to use different plug from section 1-2-3 on the 6 point of plug on the Mac pro terminals after some reseting up of monitor position every thing it will not let me use as menu screen only as secondary.i hope I am clear enough . the bar is on small screen.

I have been using this somewhat more terse explanation after doing some experiments. I think it comes to the same conclusion as yours:


The Dock will be displayed on the specified edge of the Primary (MenuBar) Display EXCEPT when a secondary display extends that edge.


(In which case the dock would be displayed on the specified edge of the Extended Desktop.)

The screen with the menubar on it is the primary screen, as previously mentioned to change the primary screen you drag the menu bar from the picture of one screen to the other.


The rules regarding which screen displays the dock icons is more complex. If you have your dock defined to display on the left hand side of the screen then the left hand side of the left hand most screen is where it will appear regardless of which is the primary screen. Likewise if you define the dock to be displayed on the right of the screen it will be displayed on the right side of the righthand most screen. If you define the dock to be displayed on the bottom of the screen then it will be displayed on the bottom edge of the screen which is arranged to be the lowest of however many screens you have.


In the case of the original post his lowest edge is the left screen and hence with the dock set to be displayed on the bottom it will be displayed on the bottom of the left screen even if he changes which is the primary screen. If however the righthand screen is moved down so its bottom edge is below the lefthand screen then it would be used to display the dock.
