Honda_Boy Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Is there a way to set different wallpapers for each monitor? I have 2 monitors and one is Widescreen at 1920x1200 and the other is at 1280x1024 and quite often, a wallpaper works fine for one but not the other due to the size differences. Is there a way to have them use different wallpapers at the same time or at least have them use the same one but handle them differently? The current wallpaper I'm using would work great on both if I could just leave it centered on the big monitor and "stretched" on the smaller one. So is there a way within Windows, the nVidia control panel, or third party software to do this? I see people doing it on Macs so I figured there must be a way to do it in Windows too.Thanks for any help Edited December 4, 2008 by Honda_Boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Ultramon will allow you to do this - I used it when I was using Windows. In addition, you will be able to extend your taskbar to the other monitor and a number of other useful functions.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honda_Boy Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks Jeff. I'm gonna try the Trial but honestly, I don't think I wanna pay $40 for something like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honda_Boy Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well UltraMon had issues so nope on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin_28 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Maybe something like this:http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/Yeah, I was going to suggest displayfusion. Nice little program to use. You don't need to add it to your start up. The wallpaper settings should load anyway. Certainly it lacks all the bells and whistles Ultramon has. The extend taskbar option is a great idea. Edited December 5, 2008 by Kevin_28 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ok, now DisplayFusion is perfect. It's free and the wallpaper thing was all I wanted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
