    Can't set a different wallpaper for second monitor


    Hello,When I set up a second monitor for my system, I wanted for both monitors to have different wallpapers, but when I tried to do so, I couldn't do it. All it shows is "set as desktop background" instead of "set for monitor 1" or "set for monitor 2".I didn't have multiple desktops, but when I added a new desktop, it had a different prompt.If anyone could give me a solution to this, I would be pretty grateful.

    :)

    • Set for monitor 4
    • Set for monitor 4
    • Set for monitor 4
    • Set for monitor 4
