I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if I could get some help. I’m having the same problem as someone else was having. First, my web tab wasn’t there at all, but I got that fixed. Currently my problem is that the new button on the web tab is grayed out, and I can’t click it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s a cool way of having 2 wallpapers, but the blue icons do annoy me quite a bit. So I found a way around it, and if you have photoshop it is simple after about 2 minutes of trial and error.

I’m running my wacom cintiq to the right of my Samsung 23.6″ syncmaster, and I have my Final Fantasy Dissidia wallpaper on the big one, and the opposed version of the wallpaper on my cintiq. Because they are different display resolutions, take the two images into photoshop to a file that is as wide as both screens butted up against each other. The smaller image will have to be lifted or dropped a little, depends on how you have your setup.

Then when you add it as your desktop wallpaper, set it to Tile and it will spread over both screens quite nicely.

If both screens are the same resolution, of course it’s as easy as putting two images side by side in photoshop without adjusting heights etc.

Hope it helps

Brill!

I was so low, i couldnt figure out how to use nView to position one .HTA on one monitor and one .HTA on tother, but the method you explained at least allowed me to position one .HTA on the primary and a .HTML using this way, SWEET.

nevermind, I got it, Just revert back the changes & de-seletct lock desktop items & kills the explorer/log off/restart. You will get your icons back.

OK, it makes icons transparent, but I want to revert & get my icons back. I had deleted the new location added in “configure desktop”, but I still cannot able to get my icons back. How do I get my original desktop icons back on my desktop? Thanks
