I’m sure others have found great sites that have wallpaper designed especially for dual monitor setups. Does anyone care to share? Thanks in advance!

There’s a lot of cool stuff at [Digital Blasphemy](http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/). They have a section somewhere with a bunch of images in common two-monitor sizes.

Although he offers some very nice work, I do not have the money to pay for wallpaper. It appears as if all the dual/tri monitor wallpapers are pay only. ☹

I do not have two monitor. Frankly, I have doubts about the one I have, I think it is sneaking out and seeing other people. However, I have been to [KatamariDamacy on the web](http://katamaridamacy.jp/contents_e.html), too see what the fuss is about, and saw [this](http://katamaridamacy.jp/download/wp_kffd2/wp_kffd2_l.jpg) , which should be right up your alley.

So odd. I was helping my brother on his computer today, and noticed his desktop was the same on both monitors. “I wonder if anyone has designed any wallpapers specifically for dual monitors?” I wondered.

That was maybe 30 minutes ago.

You are not crazy, just so you know. That above posts really exist.

That being said, [here](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Dual+Monitor+Wallpaper&btnG=Google+Search) is a google search on the topic. I can’t really recomend one over the other, but you may find one you like.

I had the same interest when I used 2 monitors with 1 computer using Windows XP. There were 2 different options: have the same desktop on 2 monitors or have 1 main desktop on monitor A and have a desktop extention on monitor B.

When I had 1 main desktop on monitor A and a desktop extention on monitor B I could move the mouse cursor from monitor A to monitor B seamlessly (left to right.)

If your screen resolution is 1024 X 768 on monitor A and B, your desktop is now 2048 X 764.

You can take two 1024 X 768 pictures and edit them together in the Paint application or find a very wide picture that will be 2048 X 764 (if 1024 X 764 was your beginning resolution.)

It’s fun to make your own!
