  Old  Dual Monitor Setup

Hey Guys,

I am currently running a Dual Monitor setup on my PC, and I believe that it is possible to have a desktop background stretched across both screens, or, have a different background on either screen?

However, When I just set a new background via right click, it uses the same background on both screens. How do I go about doing the above?

Regards,

Craig.

Make a single wallpaper that's the width of both screens combined, but has two different wallpapers on it. Then set that as your desktop. =)

Or you can use two different images if you use a program like UltraMon.
