Question from a Noob

[RestlessKnight]

I just got the software, and I have a question about it.

Is there a way to save a wallpaper (video) to a flash drive to put on another computer? I want to make a few for some friends in the future.

Also, when I remove a wallpaper from one monitor, the wallpaper on the other monitor gets removed too, and when I try to add it back onto the monitor, it doesn't work. I end up having to clone the wallpaper onto both monitors then pick the monitor I want the wallpaper on. Why does it do this?

Yeah, you could do that, but putting things on USB sticks is kind of retro, simply publish your video to the Steam Workshop and share the link, that's the whole point of Wallpaper Engine. See a tutorial here:

(Keep in mind that Windows 7 only supports Full HD in case some of your friends use Windows 7.)

Sorry, I am unsure what you might be doing wrong. Since this is a relatively popular feature which seems to be working fine for everyone else I am not sure if you may have misconfigured something. In the Wallpaper Engine settings, at the bottom of the "General" tab, there is a reset button, maybe click that to ensure you did not set any weird options. Also, are you sure you have configured Windows so that it is not cloning your display instead of extending?!

I fixed the wallpaper getting remove from both monitors. As for the flashdrive, some of my friends don't have Steam, so yeah. One dosen't even have internet. That's why I want to put it on a flashdrive as a file or something.

Your friends need Wallpaper Engine running in order for them to use the wallpapers, though. You could always log in with your own Steam account and install Wallpaper Engine which will automatically also download all subscribed wallpapers (including ones you created).

Okay.

You can find the files for the wallpapers here (D might not be the correct drive letter for you):
D:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\431960

Okay, thank you.
