Then, check the box near the “Single screen saver over entire desktop” point. Open the Actual Multiple Monitors' configuration window, and select the “Screen Saver” tab under “Multiple Monitors”. To set a single extending desktop screensaver, do the following. How to Span the Screen Saver Across Dual Monitors However, you can solve these problems easily with the Actual Multiple Monitors software. For example, 3D text is displayed only on the primary monitor, while Mystify and Bubbles is spans all monitors. You cannot set different screen savers for dual monitor with the standard tools of Windows 7. How to Set the Individual Screen Saver to Each Monitor on Dual Monitor Setup.How to Span the Screen Saver Across Dual Monitors.However, I did find out how to change the wallpaper on the 'gsettings' family of DEs:, though this does not provide any control over the multi-monitor aspect of the lock screen.How to Set Up Different Screen Savers on Dual Monitors Maybe some optional plug-in feature at best, but probably no support for Windows either. I read that there are some third party tools to change the wallpaper but I'm not too excited. Second bad news is that on Windows 10 the lockscreen wallpaper is for whatever reason stored in a binary file that has no API to edit, and trying to edit it yourself can cause the whole login screen to break. I'm going to have think about it if it's worth the effort to implement it with these sub-par possibilities. So in other words, Superpaper could control the lock screen image that is the one and the same on every monitor but it cannot achieve spanning or multi image wallpapers. spanning a wallpaper across all monitors in the lock screen or alternatively allow setting a separate image for each monitor like KDE, superpaper has no way to extend that.ĭesktop.currentConfigGroup = Array("Greeter", "Wallpaper", "", "General") It is dependent on the lock screen provider to support multiple monitors, i.e. ![]() This will need some work and figuring out the API keys to access the lock screen wallpaper, which specifically I could not now find.Īll other DEs / lock screens that do not work now would need to be reported and researched how their lock screen wallpapers are managed. With some brief googling it sounds a bit like it would be possible to control the lock screen wallpaper in a similar manner as it is done on the desktop. On my Manjaro KDE machine at home both monitors are active in lock screen and a default wallpaper is shown on each monitor, a copy of the same image on each display. On my RHEL 7 Cinnamon 3.6 machine at work the lock screen is using both of my monitors and is showing the spanned wallpaper on them as it does on the desktop so Cinnamon already works as desired. Superpaper would have to monitor lock screen state which would be quite undesirable. And it would be preferable to have the lock screen image be separate from the desktop wallpaper image if this is the solution one would have to implement, since if they're the one and the same, to change the cropped image as the lock screen wallpaper, superpaper would need to change the desktop wallpaper to be the cropped one. If it doesn't, it would be possible crop the primary monitor piece from the wallpaper but this would need new logic since superpaper is currently unaware what is the primary monitor on which the lock screen would be displayed. First step for you with Mate would be to figure out if Mate will handle multiple displays. Implementing this would be Desktop Environment / lock screen provider specific. Thanks, glad to hear it's mostly working well! □ mate 1.22.x (with x in 0,1,2,4 depending on the package).(don't mind the glitch in the bottom-left part of the wallpaper, the file itself is broken) Would it be possible to setup a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen, or make the lockscreen use the config for just the center monitor? It looks really good after tweaking the offsets & bezel sizes, but there is one issue - when showing the lock screen, only one of the monitors is active, and it shows what would be the wallpaper for all 3 monitors (blue-green solid color background added to clearly see the wallpaper boundaries). First of all, congrats for making this awesome package! I was looking for a solution to just properly span the wallpaper over my not-so-simple 3 monitor setup, never expected to find PPI corrections and even including bezels into the calculations! □ ![]()
