elementary-osmulti-monitorpantheonwallpaper
I have a dual monitor setup and I'd like to have a different wallpaper for each monitor. I found two programs in this post: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/ubuntu-multi-monitor-tweaks-full-screen.html
Neither of them work for elementary OS. Does anyone know of program or settings to change to make this possible?
I have no idea why the configuration option is not available in the gnome control panel but you can set this using dconf-editor.
Run dconf-editor from a terminal, navigate to org.gnome.desktop.background -> picture options and set it to spanned:
The default dwm behaviour is to open applications, with a rule or not, on the monitor/screen that has focus.
To open Surf on the third tag of the currently focussed monitor, the rule would be:
{ "Surf", NULL, NULL, 1 << 2, True, -1 },To open VLC on the second tag of the primary monitor, irrespective of where the focus is, the rule would be:
{ "VLC", NULL, NULL, 1 << 1, True, 1 },If your rules are not conforming to this behaviour, then there is likely something else wrong with the way you have configured dwm. Pasting your entire config.h might help.
