First world problems: wallpaper

[helping]

It's not really off-topic but I wasn't sure where to put this since it doesn't clearly fit anywhere

 

 

does anyone know a program that can set different wallpapers across multiple monitors? I'm getting tired of the plain backgrounds I'm being forced to use right now. As of now, Windows handles it rather poorly and Dual Wallpaper from the multi monitor tool suite derps and completely screws everything up when you try to make a triple display wallpaper config. 

 

It looks like the only way I can see to make this work is by manually measuring pixels and stitching three images together one painful canvas at a time. 

 

My setup is vertical 1080, and two 1080's side by side. 

 

I can dump some of my old 3840 papers if anyone wants them since they're useless to me now.

Crop and resize as you need, and set it to Tile. I have a 1920*1200 stitched together with a 1600*900, and the offset the same as how my monitors are aligned. Save with the extended area.

I remember Slick had a vid posted on that.

Definitely Display Fusion. LiunsTechTips has done a video on it presented my Slick as he uses it on his personal rig.

You can get it on Steam or direct from their website.

There is also other ways to get it though...

You can use Display Fusion, but I have my wallpapers on rotate. For whatever reason, each monitor is always on a different wallpaper from the others. 

Not sure why, but it is effectively what you want. Can't help with static wallpapers though.

Ah right, I forgot about display fusion

That still sounds annoying because it would have to be one image made and my third isn't particularly lined up.

Does it still have a slideshow feature? It would be great but if not I guess it's still worth trying out.

• Right click desktop.
• Click Personalize.
• Click Desktop background on the bottom left.
• On the bottom left, change the "Change Picture every:" option to whatever time interval you want.
• At the top, change the picture location to whatever pictures you want as your background. 
• Then select said pictures individually, or just leave it as all of them. 

That is what I did.

No I meant when it's handled through display fusion. I usually group similar themed wallpapers together and Windows changes one monitor at a time when I'd rather it change them all at once. 

 

What I did before was I had two sets like: (trying to give example but imgur is being stupid)

if you see what I mean?

 

and windows would automatically scroll through each set counting it as once giant picture. I'm hopeful that display fusion can do something similar, but if not then oh well.

As long as you have a number for your offset, it'll be fine. For example, since the bottoms of mines are aligned, the second monitor comes in at 1920, 300 offset. Figure out what yours are and you'll be fine.

Yea, you're right. I forgot about the displacement values given in the screen resolution menu. Will do that if display fusion doesn't work how I'd like, which I might not even bother with anyway because I don't really need any of the other features it has.
