Pic-a-POD Icon

Working with multiple monitors.

Using Pic-a-POD if you have more than one screen:

  1. By default, Pic-a-POD will set the desktop picture for whatever screen is displaying Pic-a-POD itself.

  2. In the Options menu, select "Set all Screens to same desktop" to have Pic-a-POD set all screens whenever it sets the desktop.

Alternatively, you can set up rotating desktop pictures for a second monitor:

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Desktop & Screen Saver (or click the link below to open System Prefs for you).

  2. If you have a second monitor attached, you will see a "Secondary Desktop" window on the second screen. (I have dragged it in to the main screen for the screen shot below.)

  3. Click the + button at the bottom of the list of screen savers.

  4. Navigate to your Pictures folder, find the Pic-a-POD folder inside your Pictures folder and click Choose.

  5. Check the 2 checkboxes and select a time interval for the desktop change.

  6. Un-check "Set all Screens to same desktop" in the Pic-a-POD Options menu or it will over-write these settings. If you want information about another screen's desktop, move Pic-a-POD to that screen and it will change to showing you the information for that desktop picture.
