If you can do it, How?

[UpsetPeck]

Go to change desktop background and right click on the background you want.

If you can do it, How?

I know you can do this with a program such as Display Fusion, but it's a paid application after 30 days.

Dual monitor tools is free and does what you want

[The Official Czex]

Right click the background when you're in Personalization.

Windows 10 supports this natively, but for older versions of Windows, you have to create one giant image that spans the pixel width of all of your monitors, and then set the image mode ot Tile.

You didn't mention what OS you're running.

Here's how to do it in Windows 10:

Copy the files you want to 'C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows' That's just where Windows itself prefers them.

Hold down CTRL and click to select two images

Let go of the CTRL and right click on one of the images

Pick 'Set as desktop backgound' from the drop-down menu

Voila! You may need to log out and back in for it to take effect.

 

If you wan't to swap the images, here's how:

Open File Explorer and type %appdata% in the address bar.

navigate to %appdata% \Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

You'll find two files named Transcoded_000 and Transcoded_001 with no extensions. Rename the files to swap the numbers. 001 becomes 000 and 000 becomes 001

Note: Since the other filename already exists, you can't rename 000 to 001 directly. Instead you need to make 000 into 002, then 001 into 000 and then 002 into 001.

Awesome, Thanks

And Yeah Windows 10

I know that you can set it up that each monitor has its own background in Ultramon and Displayfusion (which is on sale right now on Steam). I don't know if it's possible within windows though.

Ill have a look

Just wondering, do you know how to get moving backgrounds?

Well, I do know that Windows doesn't support it natively. You'll need a 3rd party program for it.
