I've done this (the joining of 4 images to fit my 4 monitors)... but BlackBox is pixellating the image like crazy. I have 3 monitors @ 1600x900 and 1 @ 1920x1080. The image is 6720x1080 pixels (there's a black bar under the 3 monitors that aren't the same height). Works fine in Windows, but in Blackbox it comes up pixellated. Any ideas anyone? 
W8.1 How du you have different wallpapers for multiple monitors?

He means distorted, the picture breaking into visible pixels.

It's more a matter of visible pixeds and distorted picture than colors, but the colors may look bad, too.

It seems bb takes the size of one monitor and draws the image the same size as the one monitor then stretches the image to fit across all.

I'm trying to do a similar thing except I'm just trying to get different wallpapers on multiple different desktops using bbzero 64bit on win7.
My bbstyle config..
bbstyle.position.x: 0 bbstyle.position.y: 0 bbstyle.alwaysOnTop: true bbstyle.snapWindow: true bbstyle.inheritToolbarHeight: false bbstyle.drawBorder: true bbstyle.timerOn: false bbstyle.changeTime: 5 bbstyle.changeOnStart: false bbstyle.stylePath: C:bbZerostyles bbstyle.hideWindow: false bbstyle.noStyleTwice: false bbstyle.useSlit: false bbstyle.rootCommands: true bbstyle.workspace1.rootCommand: bsetbg -full backgroundsunknownhjhj.jpg bbstyle.workspace2.rootCommand: bsetbg -full backgroundswallpaper-672470.jpg
Pretty sure I've got everything set right in this plugin.. but no dice. I'm thinking perhaps a setting in another plugin is causing it not to work? Any help apreiciated.

Ok I'm thinking my problem is related to "Please note that BBStyle automatically saves the current running configuration when you quit or restart Blackbox, overwriting the previous contents of the file. In order to change this file easily restart Blackbox from the menu while holding down the Shift key, which will unload all plugins and display a message box telling you that the restart has been paused. Now make your changes to the file and save, then click OK on the message box to continue the restart. BBStyle will now read your manually edited settings."
Even if I follow that, when I check I seem to end up with that bbstyle.rc file as it started without my added lines.
