Changing background on Dual Displays

jabaro · 12-17-04, 06:57 PM

I just set up my second monitor so I have dual Displays. Is there anyway to change the background on one of the displays to be different than the other?

Check out www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon

Ultramon is the absolute best program for dual monitors ever. An absolute must if you run duallies.

I just set up dual monitor also. I don't need all the features that ultramon gives. Just that I'd like to have 2 different wallpapers. Is there a free program that does this?

As far as i know, no it does not.

However, more high end graphics cards (matrox, nVidia) are noctorious for including these features for free in their driver settings check there.

Another quick question. How can I have the background to pan to both monitors? So I'll be using the same picture, but one that's made wide enought so both screens show one picture. Does this make any sense?
