i guess plenty demos could be stretched to 2 screens with little effort. especially ones with huge black bars.

a guy here has some planets screensaver running over 2 screens. All you really need is a dualhead gfx card running on spanning mode, and a screensaver that runs at the full resolution. Some demos will run like that but not many, most have an upper limit on screen res for some reason.

problem is when you dont have same aspect ration on your monitors... I mean, i have 3:4 | 4:3 combo.

a 4:3 monitor?? do you have a picture of that?

4:3 monitor = normal monitor. You're probably looking at one.
3:4 btw, is a normal monitor turned 90 degrees (many tft monitors can be turned... its good for wordprocessing and stuff)

that one is 4:3 unless the rest of europe has different conventions to here. Easy way to check... do you have 16:9 tvs or 9:16?

i dont have tv's at all but i guess the answer you were looking for is 16:9

Apple made a MAC monitor that was 3:4 aspect radio, that could be swiveled to be 4:3 as well back in the day.
Charged an outragous price too if I remember correctly :)

psonice: yeap :)

16:9 tvs are quite popular in europe nowadays, but the monitors still are mainly produced in 4:3..

Here's a fresh desktop from me...
