Evening all !

I've recently setup my second monitor (primary being a 1440x900 resolution and secondary being 1280x1024, a bit skew-iff, I konw :p) and I'm over the ruddy moon with it !

My only gripe is I wanted to run them as "seperate" screens, i.e I can run LFS on my primary monitor and have Firefox/something open on the other. I *can* do this. But I also want them to have seperate backgrounds. Yet when I change the background, both monitors use the same ! How on earth do I use seperate backgounds?

Please help!

I had the exact same problem.

Now I use this: http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/

Works a treat :thumb:

Just found UltraMon, its a very good piece of software, but i dont fancy forking out $40 for it (Trying to save for a car, every bit counts ! :p)

That DisplayFusion makes changing the wallpapers VERY simple ! Now I'm just being picky but I wished it had the ability to stretch the taskbar across the two monitors like UltraMon ! :p

Many thanks, nice quick responces ! :)
