"Quilljar" wrote in message ... You can make wallpaper to span any size providing you have the right graphics card. I guess the card is the key. The dual display ATI's I've used won't do this. |

I presume you have right clicked on your desktop and gone into
Properties/Settings and changed the screen size to double? Yrs Quilly "Siks munfs ugo i cundn evn spel enjunear, now i ar wun." |

You can only activate the second monitor and extend your desktop into it. Well I don't want to be too argumentative, but I do it all the time with three screens and I used to do it with two. Windows allows you to choose all kinds of screen sizes. Then FS9 picks up the video card details and adds the screen size possibilities within the settings section Hardware. If you then match the FS with the desktop you have a nice fast fullscreen across say, 2048 X 768 for example. -- Quilljar see http://client.webshots.com/album/194691959rhDQFi Do not reply personally, all such emails go into my spam filter |

If you then match the FS with the desktop you have a nice fast fullscreen across say, 2048 X 768 for example. No argument here, I just don't think we're on the same wave length, though, so let's keep discussing this. I'm not arguing, just curious, because I'd love to do what your suggesting with Wallpaper. Let's stick to a Desktop wallpaper discussion, not FS9. That's what triggered my initial response. No doubt FS9 will detect the two or three displays and span them. Wallpaper my be a different story. I can right click on my desktop, go into advanced properties. I have two displays attached to my PC. The single video card I have controls them. I can easily adjust the resolution on each display, that's not an issue, easy to do. I can enable or disable the secondary monitor and "extend" my desktop to it, also easy. Now with Wallpaper, if you have two active displays and you set a wallpaper to your desktop. Each display, from what I've observed, will display a single "copy" of the wallpaper within it's own display. The wallpaper won't "span" both displays, automagically. Let's say both displays are side by side, each set to 1024x768.Effective resolution, say 2048 x 768, if I find a wallpaper that size and add it to my background, I won't see it span the displays. Do you agree? If you have a trick to span both displays with say a 2048x768 wallpaper, I'd love to see it. |

Do you agree? If you have a trick to span both displays with say a 2048x768 wallpaper, I'd love to see it. I have my wallpapers which are mostly 3840X1024 as I have them across three screens. I use a single video card the Matrox Parhelia 128. With that I have the choice to spread the wallpaper across all three, or have three wallpapers. Using the MaxiVista software I can also extend to a fourth screen, my laptop but that exhibits the same wallpaper but as a second picture. I will put up (a photo, not a screenshot) for you to see. I thought that any card that would support two monitors would give you those options.

The ATI have doesn't. |
