2 Monitors 2 Wallpapers

[TweaK]

I'm running dual monitors, and I want to know if it's possible to run 2 different wallpapers, one on each. I'm running extend current desktop, so when I try to set 1 wallpaper it changes both to the one I just set.

So, Is there? (winxppro)

i dont think there is a way, sorry tweak.

Yes there is...
1) create an image in PS the size of your two screens:
e.g. if you're using 1024X768, the image size would be 2048x768 pixels.
2) copy and paste the two different wall papers you want right next to each other
3) Save the image and set it as your new wallpaper with the option "tile" selected (as opposed to stretch and center).

voila, you're done.

I feel stupid for not thinking of that. *runs of giggling*

Edit: What about 1024x768 and 1152x864.

edit2: Nah, didnt work. Distorted the wallpaper and copied it to the second one, distorted as well.

Why would it work...all it is doing is displaying the same thing twice.

distortion: try different file formats and different resolutions.
...there shouldnt be any distortion

overlay: your screens MUST be set at the same size for this to work properly.

and as to the size of your wallpaper...just multiply the number of horizontal pixels by 2.


seldae: it works. I've been running a computer with 2 screens for like a year.
