How to Use Different Wallpaper on Dual Monitor

Problem: I have connected an addition monitor to my laptop and I’m running it on dual monitor configuration (not clone). Since one screen is bigger than the other, both are running at different resolutions. This causes the wallpaper to appear a little messed up.

Solution: Jon Tackabury’s DisplayFusion is a free application that enables you to use different wallpaper on each monitor. Once installed, the application neatly resides in your system tray. Double clicking the tray icon will bring up the configuration menu, where you can set wallpaper for each monitor.

You can either click on each desktop from the configuration menu and choose different wallpaper for each monitor or span the same wallpaper across both the displays (this is better, if you have two monitors of the same size).

DisplayFusion is capable of fetching wallpapers from Flickr, which his kinda cool because you can save some effort of manually searching the picture.

DisplayFusion works on both Windows Vista and XP. If you are looking for alternative approach without any software (for Windows XP), go here.
