Multi-Monitor Display Positioning
I know something similar has been posted here before. But this feature NEEDS to be added. You need to be able to adjust vertical positioning of backgrounds separately by each monitor. When you have both a vertical and landscape monitor set up there is a lot of variation in the heights of your main monitor (in relation to the vertical monitor). If you could separately position the backgrounds by monitor you wouldn't be forced to move your monitor up or down to align with the background, instead you can maintain the monitor height you want and the background could move to accommodate the monitors heights.

Hey, I am not sure I fully understood what you mean, so there are multiple things that are at play here. First, Wallpaper Engine will use the monitor positions as instructed from Windows. Make sure you positioned your monitors in the Windows multi-monitor overview (you can drag the screens around there). Secondly, Wallpaper Engine's wallpapers can position using the "position" slider in the wallpaper properties (on the right when you select a wallpaper in the "Installed" tab).

However, if your two monitor's have a different pixel density, the monitors cannot be 100% matched up due to a limitation in Windows itself, as Windows is incapable of taking physical monitor size into account and only knows about pixel count to determine Window sizes. We have further documented this here:

If I totally misunderstood you, please do elaborate on your issue and maybe provide photos / screenshots of what you mean, it's not entirely clear to me.

Hi, I came across this forum because I'm having the same issue as OP. They're referring to when you select "Stretch single wallpaper," with a vertical/horizontal dual setup. The engine loses information on how high the main monitor is raised, assuming the bottoms of both monitors are along the same line
