Hi
For the record I am using Ubuntu Studio 22.04 with a KDE desktop (Plasma version 3.0).
Unless I am missing something major, I don't see a way that KDE Plasma allows for expansion of a desktop graphic across two screens. Graphic dimensions I have in mind are something like: 3840 x 1080. When I load the graphic for the desktop in the settings, I just get the graphic on one screen. If I select the jpg from the file manager (Dolphin) to set as wallpaper, I get duplicate graphics on each monitor, rather than the same graphic spanning both monitors, which is what I want.
If anyone can be of help I would appreciate it.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this built into kde.
There is a 3rd party solution at: https://github.com/hhannine/superpaper
Probably not what you were looking for, but maybe better than installing an unknown third party piece of software: you can probably use a photo editor to slice your image into two pieces and use half as the background on one screen and half as the background on the other screen. (I'm not on a KDE machine right now - can't confirm it can do this, but I'd assume it can display different backgrounds on different monitors.) -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
