Dual Monitors w/ Different Wallpaper

[jack0233]

Invariably someone will say I have the wrong group or asking the wrong
questions in the wrong place. I hope someone will be gracious and
just help if they have the knowledge. I have found easily how to
place a different wallpaper on each monitor. Here's my gripe. On my
primary monitor where all my icons reside I also have selected the
choice that makes the text of the icons transparent and with a drop
shadow. All is well when both monitors have the same wallpaper. When
I select a different wallpaper for the 2nd monitor all the text of the
icons on the primary monitor now have the default color background of
the primary monitor making the icon text jump out on colored blocks.
Messy to me, and yes I am anal about such things. Anyone know how to
get rid of these text blocks on the primary and make the text appear
transparent again when the 2nd monitor has been selected to have a
different wallpaper? Thank you so much for your help and not
reporting me to the forum police. jack

Use DisplayFusion to set different wallpapers..

I'm sorry Mike. I know my message was lengthy and maybe unclear. I
"can" get 2 different wallpapers on the 2 monitors already with ease.
What bugs me is that when I do have 2 different wallpapers my icons'
descriptive texts lose their transparency and look like colored blocks
on my nice wallpaper.

disappear
