Had a go at making a Rainmeter clock to go along with this. I love it.

I accidentelly dropped my iPhone 5C the other day. Luckily just in time for my subscription allowing me to upgrade/get a new one. Immediately found a permanent wallpaper for my new 6S.

I don't do dual monitors side by side like most people just because I don't have a desk wide enough to support that.

Instead, I have the main monitor in front and the second way up back in the corner. Truthfully, I use the second monitor to game on a console more than anything, but today I raised my Mac up 5" to accommodate the new chair's height.

This just means I get to compose another wallpaper that takes into account the staggered heights, the 6 inch gap between screens while maintaining continuity overall:

It's actually challenging composing something decent on each screen (if I were to view them as individual images) while still ensuring the focal point of the original photo isn't lost in the empty spaces.

Did a bunch, but am only content with a select few:



What I did was grabbed those "4K wallpapers" people go nuts over, and crop them out into two parts of one large canvas. The width of 4K images is 3840px and the width of both monitors combined total to about 3600px so provided adequate space to compose images.
