Does cFosSpeed appear to meet your needs? --Guy Macon (talk) 14:02, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Free software that allows me to set 2 desktop images for my 2 monitors

[edit]

Normally I use DisplayFusion or UltraMon, but those programs are a bit overkill. At least I can use the free version of DisplayFusion. But I was wondering if there is a program that simply detects the screensize, allows me to pick two images and chose to fill or expand or tile, combines the pictures into one (while taking the relative position of the monitors into account) and creates a new desktopimage (and sets it).

I'm assuming this is on a Windows machine. And this search has a couple promising results right at the top. (minus any ads you might get) Dismas|(talk) 05:00, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, Windows 10. I use Ad Block Plus. Thanks, I'll have a look. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 05:23, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Dismas: Thanks again. This works: "Hold down the Ctrl key and click the different wallpapers you want to use. Once you've selected your wallpapers, right-click on one of the wallpapers and select Set as desktop background.". (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 05:27, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
