 Hi there !!! I own a small gift shop and i am looking for a software solution to use multiple monitors for presentation of products on slide shows/ screen savers .
I download your software and i find couple bugs and that you may improve your features in order to expand your range of customers. Right new i test version 7.0 on Windows XP Professional SP 3 with 2 monitors in need to expand to up to 6 monitors , will be displayed on a wall to show up product pictures.
Issues that i find on your software / Multiple Monitors / Screen Saver / Individual Screen saver on each monitor :
1. When on monitor 1 i sel ected  Google Photos Screen Saver and Monitor 2 My Pictures Slide Show when i click on preview the program is crushing (if i click preview)or the screen saver is not starting at all if there is no desktop activity over 1 min (wait 1 min is set).  
2. If for both monitors i sel ect my pictures slide show on both screens are showed almost closely identical pictures . Shod be able to have different random pictures and not the same.

Stuff that show be improved :
1. Ability to sel ect in / Multiple Monitors / Screen Saver / Individual Screen saver/my pictures  on each monitor different folders (you can set screen saver A,B,C,D etc so one monitor to have one type of products , the other different type and so on.
2. Ability to have programmed screen saver for a certain period that a scrolled message to be displayed on all monitors (same like on Time Square buildings) , programmed messages (welcome to our shop) or just the time or even temperature there are plug ins to various sites . Perfect software for me and other shop owners is: screen saver with products for 10 min than message (screen saver A,B,C,D,E on 5 monitors / message 1 welcome to our shop / screen saver products / message 2 Today promotions are screen saver with different products (screen saver F,G,H,I.J)/ text with local time and temperature / over again from start.
3. Scroll up as screen saver of images fr om left to right or fr om up to down
4. vertical arrangement of monitors  

General opinion :It is a software that may satisfy same users but for me personally it is not enough to make me pay for full version. I try it, i write my remarks as thank you for the software team and i hope that my suggestions will be take  in consideration. Probably there is out there the software that will do my needs so i will keep on searching. If the programmers here will make my suggestions and will promote the right way this software will be a success particularly with small retailers.  

good luck
Cristian fr om Romania

 Hello Cristian.

Thanks for the post.

The first issue described in your post is related to Google Photos Screensaver. It is not a bug, but some incompatibility between our products and Google Photos Screensaver. Unfortunately, we can't fix it.

The second issue is related to the way our products interact with screensavers. It can't be changed too.

With regards to your requests, we'll consider all of it. Most likely it will be implemented as our individual screensaver with it's own settings.

Best regards.

You may want to check John's Background Switcher. I use that program in conjunction with AWM and it works fine, showing different pictures on both monitors. I do not know however how it will work on systems with more than 2 monitors.

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
