XP + Deskscapes 3 + Dual Monitors

Am I asking too much?

Hi, Open Deskscapes 3 and it is locked into one of my monitors, can't drag it to the other one. This is unlike any other app I have.

Only applies a dream to this one monitor.

Those dreams which offer stretch over monitors option have the option greyed out.

When I 'Disable Deskscapes' it does not restore my own dual monitor background image correctly, it puts a copy on each monitor. The correct display option to restore for me would be 'Tiled' not 'stretch'.

The UI cannot move between monitors because it is rendering D3D in the preview and on Windows XP supporting multiple monitors in a window which may span monitors is messy. If we didn't lock it to the primary display the cpu would hit 100% when the window went outside of the primary screen. On more modern OSes this is not a problem and the window can be moved between screens.

Only certain dreams support multiple monitors on XP for a similar reason. The stretch over monitor options are only supported by Vista / 7.

The included snow dream does support multiple monitors as do the dreams on Wincustomize developed by myself.
