Hello,
I have an iMac with a secondary screen.
I would like my wallpaper to be stretched across both screens, or for one half to be on the Mac screen and the other half on the secondary screen...
Is there a solution?
Have a good day,

    Hello, have you checked the system preferences under Monitor?

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Yes, I have been there, I find the settings for each monitor good, e.g. the wallpaper for each monitor but I can't find the "extend" option like on Windows.
    Have a nice day,

      Re yves_web, here you are talking about the wallpaper. Maybe by changing the screen resolution? Some tips:
      How can I select additional resolutions on my monitor:

    Thank you for your response.
    In the example mentioned on the Apple website, we can see that the image of the wave is the same on both screens.
    It seems that it is indeed impossible to display a single image stretched across both screens.
    Thank you very much!

      Yet the help page says this: 

      Each screen connected to your Mac can display different windows and applications in full-screen mode. This allows you to organize your work in the best possible way.

      In addition, your mouse cursor can move from one screen to another as if it were a single monitor.

      Hello
      Yes, I’m not disagreeing.
      Well... On one of my old PCs, I don't remember how I did it, but I had created an image myself and used it as my wallpaper.
      What I had drawn on the left side of my image was displayed on the left monitor, and the right side on the right monitor.
      -> You can even put two windows of the same app in each monitor, and when the software allows it, place the tools on one monitor and work on the other (Adobe software, among others).
      Thank you and have a good day,
