 On monitor 1, it shows the picture that is the Windows setting. The colors display correctly. Same with monitor 2 & 3.

The path doesn't show despite it being picked in AWM, and if I go to the Windows Personalize section, I see the same pictures that are displaying, albeit with the three monitors combined in one "picture".

It still has the AWM background.

 David,

Do you mean you've set solid color background on all monitors WITHOUT additional background settings (ie Background mode:Static, no picture files specified) in AWM and it worked properly, then enabled AWM slideshow for only one of the monitors and then the same Windows standard wallpaper appeared on all your monitors?

Could you send us a screenshot of this settings window?

 No, the other monitors were still the solid color.

When I got to pictures on all of the monitors I realized that the pictures shown were the ones from the Windows display controls and not the ones that AWM should be showing. They were all pictures on my computer and the path was not showing on the pictures.

 David,

First, you set the solid color background on all of your displays – every display have solid color background without any additional pictures.

Second, you enable AWM slideshow for only one of the monitors – what happens then?

 It works fine. It seems that the third screen is when the problems happen. The third screen is always black with no picture and it ignores the background color.

If it helps, the lock screens all work as expected, but the flickr web searches only seen to work on one screen. Also, no path shows on the web search. I think the Google search had the path. A limitation of flickr?

The preview also shows different pictures than what is actually on the screen. For instance, the preview shows a grey background and correct picture, bit the actual display on monitor 3 is black with no picture.

 The problem seems to be trying to use two Flickr screens. When you had Google and Flickr I used one of each and the other was a slideshow. Using two slideshows and one Flickr screen seems to work.

That being said, is there any way to bring back Google? Or some other online photo search? Or just have more than one Flickr setting work.

Thanks.

 Seems that the Flickr search doesn't update like Google did. Is this correct?

Do you mean the problem described in the first quote persists only when you set Flickr slideshow for two monitors? Does it depend on what 2 monitors of 3 you set Flickr slideshow for?

Are you talking about the displaying of picture source on the display? Picture source should be shown if the corresponding option is enabled.

Could you clarify what you're talking about.

 3
1 2

The above is my setup. Screens 1&2 are display ports, screen 3 is DVI.

Screen 1 always works (Photo slideshow). Screen 2 always works (Flickr), but the pictures shown are a very limited set, definitely smaller than what is on Flickr. For instance, the search words abandoned buildings, nature brings up almost 15,000 images in Flickr. In AWM, the search stops after 12, and I will only see those 12 pictures in a rotation. Screen 3 works only after editing the settings, and then for a short time only. It doesn't matter if it is set on slideshow or Flickr, it resets itself to static after running for a short time.

 Screen 3 is still going back to static.

Can I run two different Flickr searches? Does the Flickr searches update, or is what the original search came up with what I'm stuck with?
