September 9th, 2010 6:18 amTry selecting “tile” rather than “stretch” when you set the background.

December 10th, 2008 11:59 pmYeap, someone totally needs to put a link here how to stretch wallpapers across two monitors … I feel so amateur.
Great selection though. Would be cool to have some more snow related ones. I like really ambient backgrounds because I grafitti my desktops in shortcut icons, so snowy mountains, clouds and oceans make great backgrounds for me ;)
t-rev
January 20th, 2010 2:10 pmJust put what you want as the background (has to be big enough) then put the background on “tile” setting:)

December 11th, 2008 3:42 amTo stretch a single image across 2 or more monitors, try this Lifehacker article http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/make-the-most-of-your-dual-monitors-317479.php (and google throws up some other good info too: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+strech+image+across+dual+monitor&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

December 11th, 2008 3:49 amHello there, nice post thanx !
For the guys who search how to use it on windows dual screen, I found it !
In fact, you have to open photoshop (or similar) and merge the two wallpaper. And then, go to the screen parameter , choose your big wallpaper and choose Mosaic ! It works on my screens.
Sorry, I’m french, and not so good in english ^^
Have fun,

December 11th, 2008 4:07 amTo have your image go across both monitors in XP:
First off you’ll need the background to be one big image. I’ve got 2 1280×1024 monitors, so I needed a 2560×1024 image.
Next right-click on your desktop -> Properties -> Desktop -> [ Browse ] for the new image, choose Tile in the position dropdown (important!)
As if by magic, windows will split your image across both screens.
Only problem is if your primary window (the one with the start button) is to the right, you’ll have to cut the image in half and put it back together as one big file with the halves the wrong way round. What, you expected Windows to do something completely properly?!

Again, a nice list.
Ivan
December 11th, 2008 6:46 amVery nice wallpapers! Is it okay if I will try to use them with one wide screen?
Ray
December 11th, 2008 7:15 amLove em’! But I tried some of them – and they do not work, even after I slapped the setting to “tile” – simply too small for i.e. like the Venice shot. :(
Well, not off that bat at least – maybe some Photoshop is required, not just the “Set as Background” option :D
Carlos
December 11th, 2008 7:49 amExcellent collection!!!

December 11th, 2008 8:17 amNice collection. If only I could keep all these applications (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Outlook, etc.) minimized so I could enjoy them.

Okibi
December 11th, 2008 3:28 pmI appreciate the work gone into compiling this collection but I don’t get it, these are dual screen but almost all your thumbnails are 16:9, they should be 32:9. At least give a proper representation of the design. There’s a few designs here where the main focus is right in the middle (so split between both monitors) ..that’s NOT good design.
Vitaly Friedman & Sven Lennartz
December 11th, 2008 3:53 pm@Okibi (#47): the problem was that if the thumbnails were 32:9, it would be really hard to recognize anything on the image. Therefore we decided to present some parts of the wallpapers instead of the whole image.

December 11th, 2008 6:50 pmI was wondering the same thing Okibi. At least on some of them you can take away that they could be dual screen. In any case, smashing mag comes thru again. some pretty sweet dual screen wallpapers. i dig all the abstract stuff. Wallpapers.com doesn’t have any dual screen wallpaper (yet?) but is finallly adding some decent static wallpaper too.

Andrew
December 12th, 2008 3:50 amJust what I was looking for. I’ve got to agree with some of the other comments; it’s a real pain getting these on to dual screens. I use that NVidia Display nonsense at work, which is unbelievably frustrating to use.
madeofsquares
December 12th, 2008 6:01 amSome beautiful images here, but I personally prefer to exploit the fact there are two monitors. I have dual monitors at work and use two different (but related) images on each monitor. Generally, dark images on the left and light images on the right. Just my two pence..!

Ben
January 26th, 2009 2:47 amThere are a few good wallpapers here – but most of them are not.
Lots of these images are resized and up-scaled – making them blurry. TRUE dual-screen wallpaper should be HIGH resolution, IMHO. Some of these wallpapers are not even very wide (only 1024px wide) – that is NOT dualscreen.
Also just linking to a personal flickr group is not helpful – it would be be more useful to link to the actual image.
Thanks!
