Agree, thanks.

Will have to look at that, love the look.

Edit: love the sand art, will have to edit it to go across 1 or both monitors.

Thanks... that's my favorite too!

Edit away!

Yes, initially the width is based on a percentage of the main monitor Work Area Width.
There are 4 rows with 25 meters in each in the display, so you maybe able to re-arrange those to suit your multiple monitors.
Or simply clone the folder, rename, and place that one on monitor 2.

Aside:
I made a minor change to the Diamond.ini version shape that hides the initial partial shapes.
Currently it is the shape of a circle (should be a diamond) . Here is the change, if you want to DIY:

(Bottom of the [Shape] meter, 'Shape5'):
Shape5=Rectangle 0,(#Height#-#OffsetY#*1.5),#SetStrokeWidth#,#SetStrokeWidth# | Stroke Color 32,32,32 | StrokeDashes #DotSize#, #DotGap# | StrokeDashCap #EndCap# | Fill Color 32,32,32

I will probably post an update tomorrow. Updated!

Wasn't happy with the Dot and Diamond versions, so I added pillars to the four corners for a better dimensional effect.
Rear pillars can be hidden, front pillars cover parts of the display that are distorted due to initial placement (better looking with those covered )!

... Forgot to mention you can now scroll up/down to increase/decrease shape amplification.

Hope you like the change
