3 - monitors wallpaper problem when i disable one

Hello, I need your help because I have no idea how to solve this. I have 2 monitors and TV connected to the computer (so basically 3 monitors) but i often turn the TV off. On monitors I have dual monitor wallpaper (3840*1080) and on the TV I have solid black color because it is plasma and I do not want any image there. The problem is that when I have the TV turned on its ID is 1 and monitors are 2 and 3, but when I turn off the TV, monitor IDs change 2->1 and 3->2 so my wallpaper is completly messed up and I have solid black from TV on one monitor and wallpaper from that monitor is on second one. Is there any way to solve this? Thanks for reply in advance

The best way to solve that would be to setup two separate Monitor Profiles and two Wallpaper Profiles, then link them together. Here are the steps:

When the TV is off, setup your wallpapers and save it as a Wallpaper Profile. Also open the Monitor Configuration window and save that layout as a Monitor Profile
Repeat step 1 for when the TV is on.
Open the Monitor Configuration window, click "Manage Monitor Profiles" and assign the Wallpaper Profiles to their respective Monitor Profiles.

Now when each monitor layout is detected, DisplayFusion will automatically load the correct wallpaper settings for that layout.

Hope that helps!
