  2. Background + Lockscreen Software w/ Dual Monitor

    Looking for way to have a daily slideshow synced between the lock screen & windows desktop on only monitor one.

    I used a program called Spotlight Desktop to sync my wallpaper with the daily windows spotlight lockscreen. This worked without issue for years on a single monitor setup.

    Now i have 2 monitors. Spotlight Desktop and Dynamic Theme will not change monitor 1&2 wallpapers individually. They use the same image for both backgrounds.

    Basically I want monitor 1 to use the same daily slideshow image for lockscreen and desktop. Monitor 2 can do anything besides mirror the same image as monitor 1, I don't really care if its static or a separate slideshow.

    Any suggestions are much appreciated
