In my company some users has a monitor to use as a second screen of your notebook. The screen resolutions of this monitors are different than the notebook resolution and the wallpaper that was set by BGInfo appears deformed.

There is a way to setup different wallpapers for each monitor using BGInfo?

    I am also experiencing similar issues.

    When machine is connecting to Docking station with 1 and more screens, the background is getting crazy with tailing. Changing registry for background fitting does the job, but whenever GPO with BGinfo is applying the issue comes back. Is there any way to set BGinfo to not mess with system background fitting options?

    You can try using an app manifest for BGInfo and set the following attributes.

    <dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2</dpiAwareness>

    But again, BGInfo is quite old; newer versions might be available with multi-monitor support. As a sidebar, you could consider alternative methods of setting up desktop wallpapers.

    Assign unique desktop backgrounds to each screen based on screen resolution or orientation.

    In the days of working from home and hot desking, employees are always on the move. Desktop backgrounds/wallpaper configuration has to change automatically when employees move from one station to another or the display configuration changes.

    Before I proceed, I want to clarify that I am not just a concerned individual but also someone who has spent significant time co-developing a product that addresses the very problem you’re facing. I intend not to make a sales pitch but to offer a potential solution that could help.

    My team and I have developed the Desktop Personalization Packager, which combines the following features into a simple deployment package. Click here to learn more.
