Basicly, macbook and a 17 inch external, side by side. Would it be possible for me to set a very wide picture on my macbook desktop and have it flow over onto the external as the background for it as well? Currently, if I change desktop images, it brings up a dialogue box for each screen, when I just want ot have one cross over onto the other....
Is it possible?

Split the image into two halves with an image editor.

So you can't. You need two images.

Weird, yes? You can stretch that image across three monitors in Photoshop, you can spread a spreadsheet across three monitors, but a desktop picture is one on one.

As an aside, a great site for multi-monitor pics is Mandolux.

WEll, glad I wasn't the only one who though that was a bit screwy... I was very surprised when 2 dialogue boxes opened up when I hit change BG...:S
Hard part is, 13 inch widescreen macbook and a 17inch non-widescreen crt. haha. Makes for slicing the images tricky... 
Thanks for that mandolux site though,a wesome.

Yeah, it's kind of odd that nobody's yet made a little tool for doing this automatically. It'd be easy to let you drop a photo on, look up the screen sizes, let you adjust the rectangles if you wanted, and then spit out the two files.

If I remember correctly there was an App called ScreenSpanning Doctor (only works on PPC, late G4 & G5) OS-X 10.4.5 I'm not sure if it works with 10.4.10, it did cause some prob's for some! Judge_Fire's idea is the best I never tried the app SSD but their were other's I can't recall now.
