Superpaper is an advanced wallpaper manager designed particularly for multi-monitor desktops. It can display a different background on each monitor, stretch one image across several displays or apply wallpapers to selected groups of screens.
Its main attraction is the ability to compensate for differences between monitors. Pixel-density correction takes account of displays with different physical sizes and resolutions, while bezel correction makes an image appear continuous across the gaps between screens.
Superpaper also offers perspective correction, allowing wallpapers to be adjusted according to the viewing position. A graphical alignment tool helps fine-tune the results, with manual pixel offsets available for further adjustments.
Besides these specialised features, Superpaper supports slideshows, keyboard shortcuts, a system tray applet and command-line control. It can run scripts after wallpaper changes and provides custom wallpaper-setting commands for desktop environments without built-in integration.
This is free and open source software.
