Multiple backgrounds for multiple monitors
If you never used them you might disagree with me, but if you have you'll most certainly agree: multiple monitors are awesome. There are lots of upsides to multiple monitors, but one big downside: you can only set one background for all three monitors (note: this was sort of fixed in windows 8, but my post still applies if you want a custom solution). It is however perfectly possible to have a separate background for each of the monitors. In this post I'll talk about a script I wrote to compose backgrounds across multiple monitors, using Python, imagemagick, and some threading to speed it up a bit.
