Windows 10: dual monitors: want same theme on both

Hi,
When I upgraded to Windows 10, all of a sudden, my NASA Hidden Universe slideshow theme displays different photos on my dual monitors. I prefer having the same picture displayed on both, as it did on Windows 7. Can anyone help?

I'm running Windows 10 Professional.
Thanks,


:)

 

Make both monitors have the same background when using theme

Hi.

I have windows 10, I use 2 monitors and I would like to have the same background on both.

I do NOT want to have a picture extended across both, I want both monitors to have the same background.

I am using a theme and currently both monitors have different backgrounds and when I click next background it doesn't change both at once which is very annoying.

I would like both monitors to have the same background and to change to the same background at the same time.

 

Panoramic Themepack does not launch in Windows 10

Hi,

I have Dell dual-monitors with the same resolution and am running Windows 10. When downloading dual-monitors for Windows 10 themepacks they do not launch (open).

After downloading the theme it just sits in my download folder but does not launch. I've tried selecting multiple applications to launch it but noting happens. I have also tried moving the theme from my downloads folder to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
folder but the theme does not launch either.

Does anybody know what application to select (and where to find it) so the themepack can be launched by Windows?

When downloading themes in the past they have launched automatically and are installed in themes section of my personalization settings but this is not happening when I download DESKTHEMEPACK dual-monitor themes.

I would appreciate any help.

 

Try going to settings>personalization>background and select picture. If you see the picture you want there it will keep it from changing. If not go to themes and select it there.

 

I've done that. Nasa Hidden Universe is not in backgrounds, it is in themes. I've tried selecting something different, and then returning to my slideshow theme. but I get different universes on each monitor. A bit distracting. it used to display the same photo on both, and then when the photo changed, it changed on both to the same next photo displayed on both monitors.

 

The background area allows you to have a picture or the slideshow. Did u try changing anything there? So, if I understand it, changing pictures is ok, you just want the same picture each time it changes. What gpu r u using?

 

I've been trying it out, I don't think it's possible!
What you could try is acquiring or resizing a handful desired images in dual monitor resolution, (your combined resolution), put them in a folder, then run them as a slideshow in 'spanned' mode.

 

I don't think he's after one picture spanning the two monitors, he just want the same picture on both. Perhaps Brink's How to Change your Desktop Background in Windows 10, will help him. Another possible is to go to system>Display>Advanced display settings>Multiple displays and select Duplicate desktop 1 on 2.

 

Thanks for responding, Edwin. Well, it is possible, because my husband also runs two monitors, and it's the same on both of his.
But we can't find any difference in the settings.

Hi KACI,
What that does is displays the exact same content on both monitors. The reason I have two monitors is so I can have one program open on one monitor, and a different open on the second. I'll check out Brink's, thanks. And by the way, I'm a woman, not a man!
Best,
Skye

 

KACI, is Brink's a book, a blog, or what? How do I find it?

Go to tutorials and pick Appearance and Personalization. It's there.

 

I'm sorry, tutorials where? At this site? on my computer? I need a little more information.
Best,
Skye

 

Okay, I found the tutorials on this site, but haven't found the one that you are suggesting. Can you please post a link here to it?

I can't find the original one either. Here's another one that may help.
