TJ's Place: July 2010

This code will allow you to set a different image per monitor for any combination of monitors. Monitors don't have to be the same size, or setup to be square on for it to work. You can have your third monitor straddling the other two, and the wallpaper will be built to accommodate it.

You can now specify per-monitor directory lists if you want.

There are blending and resizing options available too, see the comments.

I've added a setup.py to make a .exe so that the dos window doesn't pop-up.
