Seperate Dreamscene on each monitor... possible?
Monday, April 21, 2008 by DuoBlaze | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
I seek to be able to run my favorite Dreamscene DesktopCollage on my primary 16:10 aspect ratio monitor while on my secondary monitor I want to have either a different dreamscene or just a wallpaper.
My secondary monitor is a 4:3 aspect ratio tilted sideways at a 90º angle for viewing web pages. My problem is that the DesktopCollege images are severely distorted on the secondary monitor.
I've spent all afternoon seeking if this was possible. I've tried Ultramon, DisplayFusion, and ATI Hydravision, none of which supported dreamscenes.

The desktopcollage premium dreamscene from stardock design uses less than 1% of one of my CPU cores power ever 30 seconds when a new picture is added to the background picture collage. This across two monitors and a 1080P television.
When I run one of the stock dreamscenes like the orange plasma it uses a steady 3 to 4% of one CPU core.
Being as I am only ever going to strain my processor in a 3d computer game (dreamscene and vista aero is disabled when games run) it doesn't matter.

Weird. Are the monitors in a cloned configuration or a stretched desktop? Stretched desktop should allow different dreams. I'm going to try it right now, brb.

OK, I can't, never mind. But the stupid nVidia control panel says I can!! Weird...
Try this: in the dream selection window, see the icons across the bottom with the flower. Try the far right one.
