Forums -> UltraMon™ -> specify single monitor to not span wallpaper or screensaver to

hello,
I use a four monitor setup, I use one 21"er as a primary two 17"er's on the left and right and I have old crappy 13" one that I use for watching TV, visualizations on mp3's,etc.

the setup is as such, the 21"er and the two 17"ers sit like a normal three monitor setup. Then the fourth monitor sits off to the side at the end of my desk away from the others.

problem is that the fourth monitor throws the center off in everything. It would be nice if I could tell ultramon to span, say, the starfield screensaver across only three monitors and the same for wallpapers.

thanks for such a great product though, I don't know what I would do without ultramon!

I guess you would still want to be able to access the 4th monitor with the mouse, but UltraMon should basically treat the 4th monitor as disabled?

I'll consider this for a future release. There are some limits though to what can be done, for example limiting the Starfield screen saver to 3 monitors would most likely not work (but running 3 instances of the Starfield screen saver should work fine).

yeah pretty much, I guess what I should say especially for the wallpaper is that I can span one wallpaper across the first three monitors then give the fourth it's own wallpaper. that way at least the wallpaper isn't off-center and everything is more pleasing to the eye. Would also still let my mouse over there so I can mess with programs on the fourth monitor.

I can get over the screen saver ;p

anyway, thanks for a great product!, this program has been incredibly helpful in spite of my future feature requests.
