I haven't had any luck turning up any dual-monitor enabled dreams and it looks like a few other people might be interested as well. Anybody know of any?
(None of the demo's that came with DeskScapes for XP run on both monitors for me - should they?)
Thanks.
Try the ones by Neil Banfield......I have the snow one and it works great on XP Pro SP3 (Nvidia Quadro Fx 4500, 512 mb)
Almost all are Master skins.
This one by Neil is supposed to and it's free. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=383&libid=50
In Vista, if your running 2 monitors out of 1 video card I believe they all work but the dream is the same on both monitors, 2 identical pictures not one dream stretched across the two.
I think Muckyman's ?string? worked across 2 monitors rather than being the same on the 2 monitors.
Thanks guys. Neil's Ovals ran on both monitors for me. Couldn't get Muckyman's Fractal Strings to go on both monitors - could be my old bucket of bolts machine here, even the single monitor wmv's hit me pretty hard.
Feeling like a cheapskate right now and don't want to cough up for a premium (yet), but at least it looks like it would be an option. I wasn't sure this thing would even pull one at all - there's only so much you can do with duct tape and velcro 
It's a video dream so it looks good on more than one monitor just because the left edge matches the right edge. It's still the same video playing on both monitors at the same time.
It's still a great dream, but not what the OP is talking about though. 
here's a few of mine that work well on two monitors...
Not exactly what the OP was asking for but these do work very well.
Wiggle - 3 Pack (Red, Green, Blue)
[left this open too long (again)] Thanks CarGuy I'll have a look at the list...
Thanks CarGuy, now I've got a some more nice dreams . But no, not the XP dual monitor solution I was shooting for but I can see where they might have an extra edge on Vista.
I think Lantec read me right and you as well in your first reply. After going back through some postings to get the verbage right I guess what I'm really asking about is "Dynamic Dreams specifically written with dual monitor support" like Shirley referred to in Reply #2 here:

Otherwise at least on XP in extended mode they only run on the primary monitor and leave the secondary monitor blank. (What I do, and it works pretty well, is start the dream - which leaves the secondary monitor blank, pause the dream - which puts a still-shot on both the primary and secondary, then re-start the dream - which leaves the still-shot on the secondary.)
Not a huge deal. I'd just seen it pop up a couple of times and was wondering about any dual-enabled dreams myself so I thought I'd ask about it, wasn't having much luck strolling through the gallery.
