my computer died last weekend so i ordered a laptop (for portability) and docking station (so i can still use my dual 19" monitors and other goodies).

so, the laptop will have 1680 x 1050 (1:1.6) resolution, and when it's docked it'll have 3200 x 1200 (1:2.6) resolution. those aspect ratios are very different, so any wallpaper i had would either get stretched or cropped. it would be nice to have some program that swapped wallpapers for me when i docked/undocked so i don't have manually do it all the time, cuz that's a pain in the ass. anyone know the answer?

here ya go
basically extract, drag and drop into start>startup folder and it will run as a backround app in you icon tray so when you plug it in the dock station just right click and change resolution. you can also preset 3 fav. resolutions.

the resolution changes by itself when i dock/undock it. i want the wallpaper file to change when the resolution changes.

for example, it might have a screen like this:
