Hi. First off, here is how my setup looks:

whole view

Now the problem, I have nview set up and I went to the section where it says "Allow different Wallpapers per monitor" and checked it. On this first picture, look at the display properties, that's how I would like to have it set up obviously because that is how my monitors are actually set up, but when I set it this way the wallpaper for the second monitor gets messed up as you can see:
click


Now when I set it up this way the second wallpaper is fine, but this is not how I would like to have it setup since the secondary monitor should be on the left:

click

Is there something I am missing in order to have it work properly with the setup on the top picture (monitor 2 on the left)? TIA.

there's a few things you can do..

you can use a basic image editor and put the two wallpapers into one picture.. then set your wallpaper as tile...

or on the desktop tab on the display properties where you choose your wallpaper(this is only for xp i think), goto the customize desktop button, then goto the web tab, and click new.. and you can put a new wallpaper on your desktop
