PeanuckleJive Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) You're running dual monitors right? I don't get the question. Ultramon. Edited July 19, 2010 by PeanuckleJive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu trials Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 You're running dual monitors right? I don't get the question. Ultramon. no not dual monitors, just the one monitor, but i have seen some people have like more than one image as their desktop background on a single screen. it is possible to do it in paint but as i said in the post, they dont seem to fit the desktop properl, meaning i end up with a block of black either side of the screen .

LukasMcNeal Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Get a decent program e.g paint shop pro or even photo shop just get something where you can make the canvas size the same as your screen resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I've seen that, But only once on my mates computer running windows 7. Might be a standard feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 You're still not making it very clear. You can: 1) Have a photo slideshow type background, there's a feature on Win 7 and probably Vista, but for XP you'll need to download a program - sorry, I don't know any. 2) If you want multiple pictures in one, ie photos of mates chopped up into one big photo for your desktop, download Photoshop and make a new file that is the same resolution as your desktop - no more black lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 What to do - Make a screenshot of your current desktop. Paste that in paint. Hopefully then it will resize the document size to be your desktop size. Cover the screenshot in your collage of pictures. Save it. Set it to background.

crashbanggg Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Iv done this for mine, I made a PowerPoint slide and then saved it as a JPEG and set it as my background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Could try doing it with this. It's like a basic version of Photoshop, but it's online and it's free. One thing I can't work out with it though is how you resize layers. Other than that it's a pretty epically useful little tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Socks Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi, I use GIMP ( Link to Home Page ). It is a full blown photo editing program and with it being Open source, ( FREE ) it is regularly updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Gimp is a good bit of software. I use it at work as they won't pay for Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
