Here's my issue: I have wallpaper set for my external monitor and my MBP's monitor (different aspect ratios and different resolutions). When I disconnect my external monitor to take my laptop somewhere, the wallpaper from the external monitor moves to my laptop. On one hand, I can see where the arrangement in settings sees the external monitor as the main monitor when connected and the laptop screen as the main monitor when disconnected, but I don't understand why it can't recognize the fact that they are different monitors.

Anyway, I just want the wallpapers I pick to stay with the monitor for which I set them. Is there something I'm missing, or is this just how it's going to be? I'm just supposed to deal with it and constantly keep changing my wallpaper? :confused:
