different backgrounds for wallpaper and screensaver

a specific monitor

Why can't I choose to have the image, etc for ONLY screensaver?  If I choose something else for my wallpaper or background, I lose my Descapes. It seems I need to choose ALL MONITORS for this to work and then this is the ONLY wallpaper for all my backgrounds and themes. Why can't I choose a specific monitor?

I never received any help regarding this.  Is there a simple answer I am missing?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues and sorry for very late reply. Can you list out the steps you did when applying the screensaver in Deskscapes and changing your wallpaper in Deskcapes. Be remind that if you apply/change wallpaper by using Windows setting. Deskscapes will automatically be disable.

Thanks

Just wanted to jump in and say that I totally feel your frustration with the monitor wallpaper struggle. For more precise control, you might want to dive into your graphics card settings. Many GPUs allow you to configure individual monitor wallpapers. Look for options like "Display" or "Multi-Monitor" settings in your graphics control panel. It's often the key to customizing wallpapers per monitor. And hey, speaking of changing wallpapers, I recently found a fantastic resource with HD wallpapers ( https://www.wallpaperbison.com/ ) covering a variety of categories. Now, choosing a new, attractive, and top-quality picture to diversify the backgrounds on my devices has become a breeze.

I've found that Windows settings can be a bit limited in that regard. One workaround could be to use third-party software specifically designed for multi-monitor setups. They often offer more customization options. Also, for fresh wallpaper ideas, you might want to check out these 4K wallpapers here. They're high-quality and might give your screens a new look! Good luck!

I don't have multi monitors, but wanted a different wallpaper for my desktop vs my Screensaver. In any case, after some troubleshooting on my pc, got it to work using desks capes.  Thank you for your responses.  LanBaron, thank you for the Rec.
