O.k., as promised, the feedback:
In general it seems to work fine, but a few things went wrong.
I used a picture which was stretched accross all three monitors, that was o.k.
Then I started playing with the shortcuts and started the TV Style shortcut.
That look was not mine at all, completely oversized unsharp pictures on each of my monitors, so I wanted to get rid of it and switched back to "span file" and the previous picture.
But none was showing up, just a black background. Switching between different pictures didn't help, sometimes I saw the pictures squeezed on each of my monitors, sometimes just black. But never again the stretched picture accross my monitors.
The only chance was to quit wallX and use Windows settings to get the stretched picture again.

Another thing I don't get:
I created a shortcut with a picture, and used "load file" instead of "Span file" by accident.
It seems to be impossible to edit an existing shortcut afterwards?
So I deleted it and recreated it, but I don't think this is a wanted behaviour? Or am I just, again, too stupid to understand the work flow?

The "normal text" option is nice, but what if I don't want the text to be centered?
Any hidden option to position it on the screen?

Might you have accidentally disabled the 'keep' option? Or maybe I accidentally left it out.

I'll upload a newer version tomorrow anyway. Some minor changes. None of your other requests yet, sorry :-)

To replace any existing shortcut inside the program hit the 'replace' button. Shortcuts already on the desktop can only be edited by hand. But maybe I misunderstood your comment...

I can add an option to place text at x,y that's not hard.

O.k., I slowly get used to your tool, and you are right, I missed the "keep" checkbox, and I didn't expect that an Icon "=" is meant to be "replace".
As said, somehow that whole tool feels un-intuitive, at least for me.

No prob, that's what user feedback is for :-)
