I have a Radeon 9600 video card on XP, running 2 19 in. Sony monitors set at 1280 x 1024 each. I use the Windows XP Powertoy wallpaper changer, which changes my wallpaper at any interval I set. I have several thousand wallpapers in my wallpaper folder, and when the resolution of the wallpaper that is applied by the changer is 1280 x 1024, I see that same image duplicated on each monitor - and this is what i expect. However, when the wallpaper changer puts up a 2560 x 1024 wallpaper, i want it to spread that image across both monitors - a single panoramic image. (I once had this done, and I have a photo of my monitors to remind me, but I have no idea how I did it) In my current setting, it does not; it takes the panoramic image, shrinks it to fit the 1280 x 1024 screen, and shows a copy of it on each monitor.
Is this possible to be done automatically, and have the monitors know what to do when they encounter a different sized image, or am I forced to have only double images, no matter what the resolution? I'm beginning to think I can have a panoramic image or I can have two single monitor images, but in the context of using a wallpaper changer, I can't have both...
I have UltraMon, but it's not currently installed (I haven't reinstalled it since my last reinstallation of Windows) but it didn't do what I wanted anyway, in terms of this wallpaper sizing issue.
Thanks for any help!
