dual monitors: different background display possible?

Hello,
I have NVidia video card and 2 monitors.
Both monitors are set to mode:
"Configured indepedently from each other (Dualview)."
Everything is fine, except that both monitors use the same wallpaper.
Is it possible to set up a different background display for each monitor?
How?
Thanks,
Fred

Yes, it's possible, but not natively.

Either UltraMon Taskbar ($40)

Or DisplayFusion (free or $20)

DisplayFusion just does the job.
