DisplayFusion creates a preview window the full size of the monitors and then asks the screen saver to display to that preview window. Unfortunately not all screen savers are able to work that way. If you like, you can pass this KB article on to the devs of the screen saver. It should give them some info on how we call the screen savers and maybe they can add compatibility for DisplayFusion.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#5 Tue, 27 Jun 2017 19:00:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#5 DisplayFusion Keith, to add more, if I have the DisplayFusion setting window up and the screen saver starts, it is only a little larger than on screen, I can stretch it to cover both with a small X in right corner, click the X and screensaver stops. Next time it starts it goes back to the same small size. Just more info as I try to figure out whats up. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#4 Mon, 26 Jun 2017 18:58:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#4 DisplayFusion Hi Keith, aka. the Binary Fortress Dude Ok, Here is what I have, Nvidia GTX 950, everything is defaulted, I have two monitors they are both HP LA2205's. Both monitors are connected to two DP's (Display Ports) that are side by side on the card. When Aerial comes up after the time delay, it comes up as two separate copies of the same screensaver, regaardless of the fact that I have checked Allow Display fusion to manage screensaver, and have checked Span screen saver across all monitors. When I browse for the aerial screen saver and pick the .scr file, it comes up as Screensaver in the drop down window. Under the settings button I have checked Use time of day, and cache videos. (I have Play different aerial on each monitor UNCHECKED, as well as Disable all but main screen on 3+ monitors is UNCHECKED). I am trying the Aerial screen saver from apple, windows version from github, but this happens to a bunch more screensavers. What do you put in for the windows screensaver when you using Displayfusion ? BTW it doesn't matter if I pick the .exe or .scr file it does the same thing.

So, oh Binary Fortress Great one, if that isn't enough info let me know. It has me scratching my head, hope you have better luck. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#3 Mon, 26 Jun 2017 16:57:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#3 DisplayFusion @David: If you click the Settings button for the DisplayFusion Photos Screen Saver, what's the Size Mode option set to?

@Bruce: If you enable the Span checkbox, and also disable the "Use Preview Mode" checkbox, does that make any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#2 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:16:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a#2 DisplayFusion I have the exact same problem, and it doesn't seem to really matter which screensaver "Aerial" for window is what I have tried the most with. Whats funny is if you just click the aerial.exe it does span displays. If you are going to tell Displayfusion to control screensaver, what should you pick in windows for a screensaver? Does it matter? Where do you need to install new screensavers to, the normal windows area ? or into the Displayfusion screensaver directory ?C:\Windows or C:\Program Files x86 or C:\Program Files ? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a Thu, 22 Jun 2017 19:18:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-image-span-across-multiple-monitors-only-shows-on-one/?ID=61dd7b9a-2bdd-4b03-9eca-2ca36612b77a DisplayFusion Using DF 8.1.2.

Set to use the display fusion photos screensaver and the "span screensaver across all monitors" box is checked.

When i preview it only shows in one monitor. The spanning wallpaper that uses the sames images works great. ]]>
