Multimonitor wallpaper

[Chaotic42]

There's a huge lack of good multimonitor wallpaper out there. Right now I'm using this panorama I made (I modified it to make it 5760x1200), but I need more than just one background.

What are you guys using? The only triple monitor backgrounds I can find are all for 2x1280x1024. Got any good sites?

How do you get a wallpaper to pan over both monitors, or set separate backgrounds for each monitor? Something i've wondered but never looked into.

I made my own while screwing around in photoshop. Turned out kinda neat and decided to use it.

www.interfacelift.com has lots of dual monitors, and a few triples

use ultramon software, which is super useful for the "smart taskbar" as well (taskbar icons appear on the monitor on which the program window is"

It's tricky, but the trick is to set it to tile (make sure the wallpaper dimensions match the res of the monitors)

Though if your monitors are in the order:

2 1



The wallpaper will start on the 1st monitor and go to 2, so you need to edit the wallpaper so it works properly.

Ultramon is awesome. I'm trying to get it at work. I don't know why Windows doesn't do all of that by default.

There was a website that was taking ATOT wallpaper submissions. I uploaded 8-ish 3x1280x1024 wallpapers. If you can find that website you can play around w/ those to get the size you want.

And yeah, anyone w/ multiple monitors definitely needs to be running Ultramon
