    The topic basically says it. I laptop with an external monitor, and i was wondering if there is a way of having different wallpapers on each screen. The reason why I want to do this is because my laptop is a widescreen whereas my monitor is standard, so i won't get the entire image on my monitor.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks :D

    As long as you set it to extend and not mirror. There are special two-screen wallpapers out there, or you can make your own. Just take two wallpapers and stick them side by side.

    Thanks Lithus, but when i tried that it didnt work. It just centers the image in both screens so i get half of each wallpaper on each screen :(.
    Edit: Found a program that does this --> DisplayFusion
