Any one know how, if your running multiple monitors, you can get one image to be the bg for both?

I want one large image to span across both screens, not the same image on both screens repeated.

Make a huge image thats the wide of both your screens and divide it with image editing software and use each piece as a bg

On3Fals3Mov3 is right.

That should work. But I dunno how it will look.

Maybe you can try to put 1 big picture and it will suit both screen, need to be experiment (I don't have multiple screen, it's simply a guess...).

I can't figure how to do that out, I find running an extended desktop works best for dual monitors.

I like my setup with my laptop and my desktop connected, that gives you twice the power too.



BUT, if you only have one, very well. What graphics card are you using? Does it come with a application to manage the second screen? (Other than windows)

In my setup I simply make 1 large image the size of both monitors together. Then I right click on the desktop and change the background as normal. If your image is large enough it should span across both screens.

It really depends on your graphics card as to how it handles the second monitor though. Mine is Nvidia. Check your gfx card's documentation.


I would suggest checking out a program called Ultramon.
