i'm unable to get my wall paper to span both monitors i dont know if it is a problem with the nvidia control panel setting s (have tried with it off and on) or ultramon (running version 3.02)
the wallpaper duplicates itself on both monitors no matter what i do. I've tried playing with both nvidia and ultramon settings
help please!@!!

Is the wallpaper spanned correctly across both monitors when you preview it via UltraMon menu > Wallpaper?

yes in the preview inside of ultramon it looks correct - spanned on both monitors.

If you go to Display Properties > Desktop, is the UltraMon wallpaper selected as the active wallpaper, and is Position set to Tile?

yes it is the windows display properties has ultramon wallpaper selected and position is set to tile. in ultramon (the preview looks good) the style is set to stretch. I tried center, tile and stretch inside the windows, desktop display properties. if moves the wallpaper around but it never spans it like it should and this is a dual monitor wallpaper. (i've tried serveral)
thanks

Looks like everything should work fine, do you have any desktop/shell enhancement application installed which might interfere with this?

nothing elses (but fences i don't think that would interfere) installed and i've noticed on boot up it comes up fine then messes up ...i think when nivida start up...tried to disable the desktop enhancements but not having much luck.

Try if disabling the nView Desktop Manager fixes the problem, you can do this via the Nvidia control panel.

Tile needs to be selected under Display Properties > Desktop, but UltraMon will select this automatically when you apply the wallpaper.

i have tile selected under windows (or ultramon did if for me) i right clicked on my nvidia setting icon in tray went to nview desktop manager and chose disable but that didn't seem to help. enabled it played with those setting still didn't get it. going onto nvidia site to see if any info or an upgrade to their drivers...

aha! i've found the cause of the problem. It's fences. Uninstall it, re-select your ultramon wallpaper and hey presto, it's all back as it was.

I am having the same problem but I dont want to give up fences. I have dual monitors running on a dell laptop at work and I like to keep my work ultra organized. Hence trying ultramon to rock the dual task bar and fences to keep my desktop clean.
Has anyone found a workaround for the fences issues. I would like to have DIFFERENT wallpapers on each monitor instead of one wallpaper stretched.
If anyone has any tips for that I would be in your debt.

Updating Fences will fix the issue, the problem was fixed in a recent update (I don't remember the exact version number).
