  1. screen saver sizing on monitor


    hello everyone

    I‘m using the fliqlo screen saver on my laptop. When I hook up the external monitor the screensaver on the monitor is weirdly sized. I can only see the top right corner of the screen saver. The clock on the laptop is sited correctly. Does anyone know how to solve this ‚problem‘

    thanks in advance

    Screen saver for dual monitors

    Well, problem solved - sort off! I have got it working via the Google Photos Screensaver. Different images appearing on the two monitors. The difficulty now is that the image is the correct size on the main monitor (3840 x 2160) but oversized on the secondary monitor (1920 x 1200). While images scale properly when displayed as desktop backgrounds, they don't on the smaller screen in screen saver mode.
    But that's a problem for another thread I think!

    In the meantime I'l have a look at your suggestion Barman.

    Thank you both
