Dual Monitor Backgrounds: Display Fusion and Mandolux

Recently I purchased an adjustable height stand for my laptop.  This allows me to position the display of my laptop in line my external flat panel monitor.  Operating in extended desktop dual monitor mode, I’ve been adding a few tools to increase the productivity.  This one though is purely for aesthetics.

Display Fusion

My laptop video card didn’t come with any expressive multimonitor software support, so I’m relying on builtin windows functionality.  This would be fine if I wanted the same graphic on each screen and at the same resolution.  However, I don’t.  Enter display fusion, an easy and free way to split up full images or apply individual images to each screen.

Mandolux

Mandolux is a free wallpaper source providing new images multiple times per month.  Not only do they offer cool graphics, but they are provided in two halves and in multiple resolutions.  This works great for my dual resolution setup with a 22″ flat panel at 1680 x 1050 and a 15.1″ laptop at 1280 x 800.
