I try to figure out what's the problem but since i am very new to OSX-Developement i cannot promise anything.

Cheers

Looks funny, I don't have this problem atm, but I will take a look at it.

I probably have fixed the Issue, can you contact me? So I can send you the Test App. Reach me via mail eun(at)su.am.

I have a similar situation when I disable a 2nd monitor it flicks off then comes back on with just a background and any programs that was running on it are still on that screen instead of switching back over to the screen that is still active and I cannot move my mouse onto that screen either.

Love the app though, Just what I've been searching for but not quite working how I was hoping!

Temporary fix for me was changing the resolution of the monitor containing the remaining wallpaper. Hope it helps.

Ok since this is active again I will release a beta soon where you can test this out.

Sadly doesn't seem like it.

I have to correct myself. After a restart of the computer itself the issue is gone. Thanks for the great work!

I'm also running into the same problem, sometimes it's fine sometimes not. First time after restart is always fine. It also shifted the icons I had on the disabled display to the other one. screen-overlap

I can confirm that this problem occurs for me too with all versions including 1.91. I am running on OS X 10.10.2 my iMac's monitor runs at 1920x1200x32 my second monitor is positioned above my main and runs at 1024x768x32@75. This issue does not occur the first time I use disable monitor to disable the second monitor after restarting. After enabling my second monitor again and using disable monitor again to disable it this issue occurs as described by previous posts above.

Confirming the first time after restart pattern.

Same problem here, even with the "fix-wallpaper-1.91" version. If it helps.. the problem occurs only with "Displays have separate Spaces" enabled in the Mission Control settings. Disabling that option the problem doesn't occur.

Same problem here

If its of any help, this happens for me when my internal monitor is set to a resolution higher than my 2 external monitors and then I disable the internal monitor.

If I set the internal monitor the same resolution as my internal monitor then this problem doesn't occur.

Made a weird observation related to this issue today. I used HiddenMe from the App Store, which is used to hide all Desktop Icons when activated. In my case it also hides the remaining Wallpaper AND also unhides it if you choose to make icons visible.

Hope this helps in some way.

Hello, Thanks for your great app ! I have a problem when I disable a screen. It's seem that the wallpaper of the disabled screen appear in the other screen so there are two wallpaper on the same monitor. My main monitor is 1080p, the second, (which is disabled) is 1440p.

Having the same problem here.. Wallpaper from other monitors comes to my main monitor. Happens every time I disable my Macbook Pro screen.. (Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010, El Capitan 10.11.2 screen shot 2016-01-03 at 15 47 46
