Problem with wallpaper when unplugging second monitor

[Vincent]

Hi,

I have a weird issue when unplugging my second monitor, here are two screenshots to show you. So here's my normal setup, the black bars are only there because of the different resolutions when taking a screenshot:



Then I unplug the second monitor:



I can actually see the black bar on my screen, the wallpaper is not "centered" correctly. When I plug the second screen back in, everything goes back to normal with both wallpapers centered correctly.

Here's the content of the log file, I can't understand so I don't know if it could help:

Thanks.

Yes, that's a known problem. More of a missing feature, really. If you exit Dexpot and then disconnect the second monitor, the same thing will happen. It's how Windows handles wallpapers.

We'll add an automatic wallpaper update feature in a future version. You could also "fix" it by changing the position of the left monitor in the Windows display settings such that both monitors align at the top.

Thanks for the reply!

I could do that but then my mouse wouldn't block when I try to click on the top left corner of the bigger monitor. I'll just use the same wallpaper and then change it if it gets fixed someday.
