As of v8.3 I have found the monitor backgrounds to not get placed properly. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Both native ScreenResolution application and AWM show monitors 1, 2, and 3. However, the backgrounds for monitor 2 and 3 are swapped. To get the background on monitor 3 I have to put it on 2, and vice versa.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the post.

Could you provide us screenshots of "Actual Window Manager -> Multiple Monitors -> Monitors Layout and Settings" and "Actual Window Manager -> Multiple Monitors -> Background" panes and a screenshot of your whole desktop with the background picture?
You could send these screenshots to support@actualtools.com with a link to the post.

Sorry, I've been out of town with work. I won't be able to get a background for a while.

A little more info...

I have 5 monitors. 3 below in Nvidia 2D surround, 2 above. The 3 monitors (primary) are identified as monitor #1, the top left monitor is identified as monitor #2, and the top middle monitor is identified as monitor #3.

Monitor #1 always has the proper background.

The backgrounds for monitors #2 and #3 are swapped.

Any changes I make show the opposite for monitor #2 and #3.

Chris,

Please send us your configuration files (Actual Window Manager -> Tools -> Configuration -> Send to Tech Support) and attach screenshots I requested in my previous reply.

Best regards.
