I am working on my MacBook Pro. In the office I have 1 27" Monitor attached to it, at home I tend to work without an second monitor. For that setup I want to change the wallpaper if no 2nd monitor is attached.
Is there a app that helps me do that? Can I do this with applescript without manual activating that script?

I think you might want to take a look at Hyperspaces. Although this is for Multiple SPaces, I don’t remember if it will let you specify a different wallpaper per-screen and this might not be what you’re looking for.

That's not what I need. What I needed was a little app that could detect what monitor setup I am currently use (2 Monitor Setup at Work, 1 Monitor in the subway, 2 different Monitor Setup at home) and sets the Dock and the Wallpaper accordingly.
Hopefully I will release my little cocoa app soon. – bitboxer – 2010-06-10T19:04:24.410
I have googled a bit and if i would build a cocoa app for that i would have to use applicationDidChangeScreenParameters. But i am not as good as i need to be in cocoa development for that.
Hopefully someone already wrote an app for that :) – bitboxer – 2010-05-24T08:50:05.843
Sadly I haven't found anything that fittet my neads. I have written a little Cococa App that does exactly what I needed. Hopefully I will be able to add some final finishing touches and release it as open source. – bitboxer – 2010-06-10T19:02:07.060
