    How do I save a theme with a different wallpaper for my second monitor?


    I've entered the settings, set a different wallpaper for my second monitor, and saved it as a theme. When I change to a different theme and change back, the second monitor doesn't update.I checked the theme file and it does reference both images, so I'm not sure why the second one isn't applying.

    :)
     

  2. Different theme wallpapers on two different monitors

    When I select a theme on my computer, it makes the background the same picture on both of my two monitors.

    Before, it would show different backgrounds on the two monitors (two different pictures), but now it just duplicates the image on the second screen, so it's the same picture on both. It would show the different pictures on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

    I'm trying to make it so there is two different backgrounds on my two different monitors, even though it is the same theme, and if you know how to do that, please let me know.

    It doesn't kill me to have it be the way it is right now, but It's just kind of a nuisance to me.

    Thanks for your help.

  3. Multiple wallpapers randomly stop working

    So, I have my laptop step up with two external monitors in addition to the laptop screen, and I have set different wallpapers to each of the monitors as well as a custom color scheme. I have saved this look as my "standard" theme. When resuming from sleep
    or hibernation, however, at least 25% of the time my monitors will not be in the correct wallpaper and a new, unsaved theme will appear in the personalization menu. And when I click on my saved "standard" theme, the monitors will not return to their assigned
    backgrounds. Sometimes just unplugging and replugging the monitors resets the theme, but most times a complete reboot is necessary to get the theme back.

    Are there any suggestions to getting this issue fixed? Or is Windows 10 going back to the old Win98/ WinXP rule of just having to reboot every couple of days?

    Thanks.
