Separate image per monitor

[muffe]

Hey, thanks for bringing this cool tool to windows.

I would like to set different channels on a monitor basis, just like on macOS. Is that already on your roadmap?

Thanks @muffe!

This is definitely high on the list of things I want to support, I just haven't found a good way to do this in Windows yet. The only way I currently know how to do this is to stitch together multiple images and set that as the wallpaper. 😢

Leaving this open in hopes someone else has a better idea.

Googled around and found some nightmare code that shows how to stitch multiple images together (doesn't look fun.)

I came across a new API that appears to be Windows 8 that gives more fine-grain control of setting the wallpaper, including passing the monitor ID: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh706962(v=vs.85).aspx

@dustinsenos Good find! I think this is actually just what we need to support multiple monitors.

Update: I tried this (albeit with a single monitor) and it worked well!

awesome to hear! it looked like a pretty decent API.

Any update on this?
