I have a 5 monitor system. 2 1600x1200, 2 768x1024 (portrait) and an ugly little 800x600 lcd. Before adding no. 5 (the 800x600) I had UltraMon span wallpaper across the four monitors and look perfect. With the addition of number 5, it stretches most of my wallpapers too much, creating a distortion. In Display properties, this monitor is located under the four and to the right, like this:
1 3 4 2
5
So, the wallpaper spans to fit onto 5, making the image twice the size it should be. Is there any way to tell UltraMon's wallpaper feature to stretch/center on the first four and display a seperate (or no) wallpaper on 5. So far, the only way I have seen this able to be done is by creating seperate wallpaper for all of them, or disabling 5.
TIA forum guys.

UltraMon currently doesn't support stretching an image across certain monitors only, support for this will be considered for UltraMon 3.

Ultramon doesn't have a release date he's working on it.
Although there is nothing stopping you from doing what you want yourself. It just takes a little bit more work.
When using multiple monitors windows just takes one wall paper. When a wall paper is diaplyed which spans monitors all it is, is one really big image. In otherwords if you have two 800x600 displays positioned side by side. You could span a normal image across them by simply applying a 1600x600 image as your background and setting it to tile(It won't actually tile it since the image takes up the whole space, setting it to tile just stops it from trying to make it fit on a single screen.
So if you understand how that works, in effect what you could do is disable monitor 5. Set it up the way you want it. Take a screen shot go into an image editing program (MS paint will work fine) and paste the screen shot. Then simply add 800 pixels to the bottom of the image. Or if you'd like a diffrent image on the bottom monitor put an image in those 800 blank pixels you just added and it will appear on the lower monitor. Once you're done in the art program. Just save it and go apply it as a normal background and set it to tile.
