<div class="IPBDescription">I dont have any, thats why this thread</div> Couple weeks ago I lost 17" of desktop space and now am happy owner of two monitors. But those single screen wallpapapers get boring and theres not much dual monitor wallpapers (big enough to stretch into both monitors).
I am currently (verrry slowly) working on one NS related XXL-size wallpaper and have found only handful of big wallpapers from web (I dont like mixing two different wallpapers into one big).
Thus, I'd like to know have people over here made any wallpapers suitable for two monitors or have found any nice ones?

Best wallpapers fit for two monitors and gain use from them, like big landscape with differing fauna from screen to screen or giant fireball (like I presently have).
edit:(doh, that topic should be "Dont have any NS related")

    Hmm.. an interesting concept for a dual monitor wall paper might be, on one side, you have a bunch of aliens, the other side, a squad of marines advancing.. both heading for the middle... it sounds cool in mah head! With a trashed out space station as the setting for it all. Or som'n. I prolly won't make it though.. I have no skills in wallpaper making.

    And yes, dual screen wallpapers can be awesome. With single monitor one cant make so cool setup as when marine is shooting aliens in/to totally different screen.

    edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot one thing: To set wallpaper to two monitors you must resize it first exactly to right size and then set the wallpaper Position to "Tile".

    Making one's the only way I'd think of getting one... I haven't seen any... evar. Pretty cool idea though.

    Both Coil and I will be very happy to see some good dual-monitor NS wallpapers. Last I saw, Coil was using a particularly long sketch of his spread across both monitors. As for me, I've just gone with blank black background ever since I stopped using my self-made Matrix dual-monitor wallpaper (featured all of the Matrix Reloaded movie poster characters, but overlapping each other enough to fit). A dual-monitor NS wallpaper would be rather nice, and I'd certainly be willing to offer C&C on it.

    The best idea would be to make it.

    But you could ask if you could use the concept art and stuff. It would be very cool to see.

    Coil had a custom Martix backround and ZMatrix (Which might be worth looking into...)

    The second wallpaper is VERY nice.

    <a href='http://zmatrix.sourceforge.net/' target='_blank'>Here's</a> the link to ZMatrix by the way.
