Hi Christian,
I have come across a neat little open source utility to provide multiple virtual desktops; it is a work in progress like Ultramon - it works on XP and Vista.
See http://www.codeplex.com/vdm - it works very well with UltraMon. Besides providing multiple desktops it enables you to have a different wallpaper on each. If I use UltraMon to set the wallpaper this will not work - they obviously do not interact/co-operate. I have to switch to each desktop then set the wallpaper in the normal way.
However I do like your wallpaper component to create wallpapers for multiple monitors - particularly because it supports different resolutions. However, can I make one suggestion - when you create a profile and name it it just retains settings and save a file named UltraMon Wallpaper.bmp. When you change profiles this file is over written. It would be nice if the files were saved with the name of the profile; therefore you could retain the separate bitmaps.
I could then use then in normal way.
Now if you could make UltraMon co-operate with "Vista & XP Virtual Desktops" then that would be something else!
Thanks for a great little app,
Pete

Thanks for the suggestion, will be considered for a future release.
As a workaround, you could create each wallpaper via UltraMon, apply it, then copy the generated UltraMon Wallpaper.bmp file to the location used by the virtual desktop manager.

Anyway thanks for noting the request.
