Hi there,

I recently upgraded the middle monitor in my 21" triple-1920x1080 setup to a 34 in. Ultra-wide which is pretty awesome so far. I've decided to keep two of the 21" monitors on the sides of the new monitor on mounted arms for additional multitasking.

This unfortunately forces me to do away with my tri-screen wallpaper library in favor of single images that are 3440x1440 (of which I have found some amazing ones), and I'd like to use 3840x1080 images for the two side monitors. These are easy enough to come by, but I'm having trouble spanning them properly in the Desktop Wallpaper Configuration Tool. They are numbered as 2 and 1 with 3 being the new bigger display in the middle.

My goal is to just use the combine feature to span a wallpaper across 2 and 1 as if they were next to each other, but it's not working as i would expect as you can see attached. In the sample image I provided, I would expect the text to stop at the end of 2 then resume on 1, but instead it appears as if it's trying to still go behind 3 even though it has nothing to do with the combined monitors. If I change the sizing options, it just further distorts or doesn't display at all. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for your support!

No Feedback yet, but I did some more testing. It seems that if I position the two monitors next to each other in the display settings, then the wallpaper spans as it's supposed to, but as soon as I put the new ultra-wide monitor in between them, the image distorts around it again.

The center-placed ultra-wide screen should NOT have an impact on how the image is displayed on the other two monitors in my opinion, since the two side monitors are set to combine with each other ONLY, and does not include the ultra-wide, which is set to pull images from another gallery by itself. This appears to be a flaw in the program that needs to be addressed if possible. The program shouldn't care where the two monitors are in relation to each other, only that they're supposed to combine the image across the two monitors as defined, whether it's a double or trip screen configuration. I realize this may cause issues with a triple-screen setup and one image spanning across three monitors, but refinements to the combine feature should be made so this is function is more robust and intelligent (i.e. combining two monitors vs three+ regardless of position).

Also, I've noticed the image on the primary display (Ultra-wide) becomes distorted (positions incorrectly, displays with bars or tiles) if I adjust the position of the two side monitors in the display settings. I've mounted them on arms where the top-halves are higher than the ultra-wide, so I wanted to position them as they are physically so I can move my cursor in a straight line across them, but I have to keep them as pictured so the main image displays correctly. I can live with this, but really want the dual-screen wallpaper to display correctly with this new ultra-wide in between if I have to choose between priorities.

Can anyone else re-create this issue I'm seeing?

Thanks for your time and support!

Awesome - Thanks so much for the reply Keith! It's definitely not the behavior I would expect if the center monitor is not participating in the combine feature. I also don't see any difference in telling 2 to combine with 1 vs telling 1 to combine with 2 (can you confirm this as well?)

Thanks again for the feedback - hopefully it can be resolved soon! Let me know if I can help in any way.

Hi Keith,

Just wanted to check in and see if there was any update on this. Thanks!
