Forums -> Multiple monitors -> can ultramon auto-change wallpapers?

It would be nice if ultramon could auto-change the wallpapers on each monitor with seperate resoultions on timer, randomly or in order.

So far I have not found a single application that will change wallpapers on dual or more monitor systems only single.

Any one know?

A wallpaper changer will be considered for UltraMon 3. I'm also not aware of any multi-monitor compatible wallpaper changer.

it's possible to hack one yourself, ultramon stores the wallpapers in a specific folder, just create a proggy that reads in a bunch of bitmaps, copies two and glues those two side by side, then overwrite whatever ultramon created

do that on every boot and you have a changing wallpaper

i have it somewhere, but removed ultramon from my system so i'm not too sure where i put it...

Can't you just create a bunch of different multi-monitor wallpaper sets, that fit your particular configuration, then use any wallpaper auto-switch app to cycle among them? I know it's not as easy as just throwing a bunch of single-monitor images into a folder, but it can be done.
