From the screenshots it looks like it fully replaces the default Windows shell, or are you running it as a full screen app with the Windows task bar hidden?

Does it support multiple monitors? If so what is the experience like?

I've only just tried this out with 3 monitors so I could be doing something wrong. 1 monitor has an i3 style task bar at the top showing workspace numbers (one, two, three, ...). It works like i3 in that you can navigate those workspaces and move windows to them. I still have the win10 task bar at the bottom of the screen. I've stopped using this for now because although it works with multiple monitors, it is not obvious to me how to use the workspace navigation without causing windows to go to unintended monitors (in workspace one, I have 2 apps on far left monitor, workspace three they get moved to far right but are not retiled for that monitor's size.

It could be because I am running a mixture of 4k, 2k, and a normal monitor or I am doing something wrong.

There is another app that I used in the past for my dual monitor setup. It called DisplayFusion. However it is a paid app but worth it. I brought the software through Steam and it is updated regularly.

This app works with combination of monitors with different resolutions. I have it not to show the taskbar in my second monitor and automatically place those apps in specific workplace when i start them up. It works very well.
