Wallpaper transition not working properly with multiple monitors
Hello!

I use Wallpaper Engine in a triple-monitor setup and use the display setting "Clone single Wallpaper" and activated wallpaper transitions in my playlist settings. Unfortunately the transitions only happen on one monitor, precisely only on my primary monitor according to my Windows settings, but not the other two.

I tried to change the display setting to "Wallpaper per display" with different wallpapers and while testing that, the problem does not happen and the transition to the next wallpaper plays on every screen.

I don't know if that is just a bug or if there is a fix but either way please let me know.

Thank you.

Thank you for answering my question! No big deal if it's going to take time, just good to hear that it is going to be fixed in the future (:

Hey, just wanted to say that I am still experiencing this issue. If I use a transition in a playlist, my second monitor plays the transition on all screens.

I wanted to reply that I’m experiencing the same thing as WandererTheWolf. I’m pretty sure that this just recently started to happen so maybe a bug with an update.

Bumping this thread, this bug still happens. Two monitors with different wallpapers transitioning at the same time. When the transition starts, monitor 0 switches to use monitor 1's wallpaper for the transition animation.

I also am having this problem as of today. Setting transition time to 0 doesn't solve this. My setup is:

Screen 1: Playlist with many wallpapers
Screen 2: Single wallpaper

Screen 2 always flashes with whatever it is Screen 1 is changing. I have the WP changing every minute, so every minute, Screen 2 flashes Screen 1's new wallpaper for a split second.

The issue that was described here in this topic from 2021 was long fixed.

What you are now seeing is a different new problem that has also been fixed on the latest beta:

The fix will go live with Wallpaper Engine 2.6 in the next couple of weeks.
