    Dual Monitor Query?

    Hello People of Hexus....

    I would like to know if it is possible to have a different background image on each monitor when set up with 2 monitors?

    You can use the normal method of background pics for one of the monitors, but for the other one, use Active desktop to set a different backgrond on the 2nd monitor
