Dual Monitors With Two Different Wallpapers



Two computer monitors are better than one. Much better. I use a dual monitor setup in my office at VDC and I absolutely love it. Having dual monitors makes it so much easier to work. They are fantastic!

Like many of you, I try to change my desktop wallpaper on a regular basis. It's like a change of scenery without leaving office. I wanted to see if there was a way to have a different picture on each monitor, because Windows only allows you to put one image on both screens. Well luckily for me, I came across a program that allowed me to do just that. It is called DisplayFusion and can be downloaded here. It's quick to download and easy to use. I downloaded the free version of the program and I was able to create some magic. See for yourself - the picture above is my actual desktop.

The DisplayFusion program allows you to do some pretty cool things with your desktop. The premium version obviously has alot more features. However, the regular version was just what I was looking for. It allowed me to customize my desktop just the way I wanted it.

Lastly - the pictures on my desktop are from this fantastic new blog I came across a few weeks ago. It's called The Windy Pixel. Their blog posts show some amazing Chicago photography and their contributors are extremely talented. If you like Chicago photography (or just photograpy or Chicago in general) I highly recommend you take a look.
