STPhastPhaser Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 The way I've always done it is to open up your favorite graphics editor, create an image with the height of your current resolution and a width that is double your current resolution. Then slap the two images you want as your wallpapers side by side, with their joining edge being directly in the middle of the image. Then save the image and set it as the wallpaper with the position set to tile. There may be a better way, but like I said, that's how I do it.

BluePhlame1337 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 It's a program called ultramon. It's a lot easier than doing photo editing. Plus, you can set different screen savers for each monitor, have a separate taskbar on your second monitor, and change between wallpapers for each monitor on the fly. ultramon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomis_nehc Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 ultramon is a must for dual mon users. it has useful options and after using it, you'll wonder how you could've ever done without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveUK Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 been using ultramon a while...didnt notice u cud have screensaver running on both monitors :D is there any way to get a screensaver to span the whole 2 monitors though, instead of a different screensaver on each monitor or just 2 of the same?

nomis_nehc Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 it depends on the screen saver as far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
