monitor number designations not matching what the system designates.
after upgrading to windows 10 from windows 7 i have an issue with my three monitors not being designated numbers the same way which the system designates them, which can be annoying as I don't use the far left one much and disable/enable it often, which shifts all of the wallpapers around. Nvidia control panel and the system display control panel seem to agree with eachother but this app no longer agrees with either ( and it did previously when this was a windows 7 system )

here's a screenie :

To reiterate, when I disable the far left monitor it assigns them properly with the center monitor as 1 and the right hand portrait monitor as 2, but for some reason enabling the left hand monitor jumbles everything up.. and i used to use this setup under windows 7 with this program and never had this issue.. not a tremendous problem as i don't often use all three monitors and i am often using the upper left one to watch a fullscreen movie or some such. just thought i'd bring this up.

Try setting the "Monitor identification" option in the Wallpaper Engine settings to "Layout", does that improve the behavior for you?
