  1. Different folders per monitor for background slideshow


    I have 2 monitors and one is set up vertically and one the standard horizontal. Is it possible to have two different folders for the background slideshow? I want vertical oriented photos to cycle through for the vertical monitor and then horizontal oriented ones for the main monitor. However, I only see one folder and it won't let me change the other monitor if it is set to random background.

    :)

  2. Different Slideshow Backgrounds on Multiple Monitors

    Hi,

    I'm using 2 monitors on the "Extend" mode, and I want to set for each screen a different background slideshow, each running independently

    (instead of the same slideshow and each picture divided between the monitors).

    How can it be done?

    Thanks.

  3. slideshow background no longer different on 2 monitors

    The problem is resolved. I switched the background option to "photo" from "slideshow" then, after a few minutes, back to "slideshow" ... and voil it's working again with different photos on each monitor.

    How to display different slideshow wallpapers (backgrounds) on each monitor

    Previously, I could set the background to "Slideshow," choose an album folder, and see a different image from the folder on each screen. The pictures on each screen would then change to something else according to the "Change picture every" timeframe.

    Now, with these same settings, the pictures still rotate but I get the same picture on every monitor. How do I display a different slideshow picture on each individual monitor?
