Stretch wallpaper with dual monitors

[maxemo]

I have the HD 2600 Pro video card with the Catalyst software on a desktop running Vista 64. Can anyone tell me if there is some way to stretch the wallpaper to fit across both screens? Haven't found anything on the support page. Thanks

Ugh. Stretching the wallpaper across dual monitors will horribly distort it. I suggest you instead use a wallpaper that was made for the aspect ratio you intend to run your monitors at. There are multiple sites out there that offer widescreen desktop wallpaper images. Just do a Google search for "widescreen wallpapers" and you'll come up with more images than you can shake a stick at.

if you use active desktop, you can put image as part of it .

I didn't know that it would distort it. Just thought it would look better than two pic's of the same thing.
Thanks

There's a free program called DisplayFusion. It allows you to easily setup seperate images for each screen. There's an option to make it span across both screens too and maintain aspect ratios (for example by cutting the upper and lower parts of the image). There are plenty options in it - just google it and try out. I am using it since I found out about it - excellent application 🙂

EDIT: Here's a link to how it looks on my computer.

If you have two monitors that are the same size, just grab an image that is the correct resolution as both monitors together (3200x1200, 3360x1050, 2560x1024, etc...), and then select "tile" in the background settings.

These places have a few dual monitor backgrounds:

I tried the display fusion. I says its running in the back ground but I couldn't get it to launch to adjust the wallpaper. My monitors aren't the same size so I couldn't get the dual monitor backgraounds to work either. Not a big deal, just wanted to play around with it.
Thanks for the posts

You have to set up the desktop to span the two monitors (Horizontal Stretch Mode). Problem with that is, you can't select different resolutions for the two monitors, so one of them won't display the native resolution.

If you use something like Ultramon, you can have a different wallpaper for each display.
