Is there a way to have backgrounds that are non multi-monitored (auto non stretched option selected) center on the main monitor?

If I use the off set buttons, they stay true for multi-monitors and end up moving the image off one of the screens. I would like to have it so the multi-monitor images are stretched across all screens, but when it centers and doesnt stretch smaller images, they would be centered on the main monitor.

To clarify, are you looking to have a folder with a combination of images that are big enough to span all monitors, but also images that are small and for a single monitor, then have DisplayFusion automatically select spanned, or not-spanned based on the image size?

Well yes. The current "do not stretch smaller images" works most of the time. What I am really looking for though is the option to auto align the smaller images to the main monitor.

Right now my middle monitor is my main. When a triple screen wallpaper shows up, it stretches it to the corners (or clips it if I go that option). However the issue here is that when a single monitor, smaller background comes up, it does indeed not stretch it, as the option says. The issue is that it centers it based upon all monitors and their relative resolutions. If my 2nd and 3rd monitor were the same resolution, I doubt I would have this issue. But because the monitor on the left of the main is a smaller resolution, it pushes the single background to center between the main and right monitor. I dont have time to take a screenshot of both right now, so I drew this awesome high quality, exactly measure paint:

When I try to use the offset buttons to adjust it, it work. Except when the next triple screen background appears, it also offsets it incorrectly as well. So I am forced to use one or the other.

I hope this makes sense. Let me know if not :)

Ah ok, makes sense! We have an existing request for "smarter don't resize smaller images" functionality, so I'll add this info to it, and we'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement something that would work in your scenario.

Thanks!

tyvm. awesome products here. I refer you to nearly everyone I work with. I work with 2000 people :)
Good support too.

More control for background sizes would be awesome. Perhaps in the meantime there can be something as simple as a checkbox below the 'dont stretch smaller images' that says 'center smaller images on main monitor' or something of the sort.

Thanks again.

Back on this one again. My 4th portrait monitor is really messing up my backgrounds, because the background wants to stretch to the bottom of the portrait monitor, which then cuts off the bottom of all the landscape monitors.

I know you said you might still be working on a way to change the aspect ratio of a portrait monitors background, to match that of the landscape monitors, but in the mean time, is there any way to disable the wallpaper for just one monitor? I want to disable wallpaper on just the portrait monitor, so the other 3 look correct.

Thanks.

That's not currently possible, but is also on our to-do list. We'll post an update when that's implemented as well :)

Thanks!

We've just released DisplayFusion 6.0 Beta 7, and you can now combine monitors while using the Different Image background mode, so that you can have an image span certain monitors, but not others.

Details on how it works can be found here: http://www.displayfusion.com/KB/WallpaperCombining

Thanks!
