Overlapping dual monitors

I have dual monitor setup and I was wondering if there's a way to specifiy an overlap between the 2 displays. Ideally, the area where the 2 monitors cross over would be repeated on both monitors (ven diagram-ish). Currently the display settings can only work when they're adjacent. On a side note, is it possible to seperate the monitors so that there's an assumed space between the displays? I'm currently running windows 7.

I don't think it's possible to specify an overlap, other than using cloned displays (in which the entire display is cloned) or zoom (your specific video drivers might support this).

I'm pretty certain there's no way to configure an assumed space between the displays, because if a dialog or window opened up in the assumed space, you would have no way of noticing it or using it.

If all you are looking for is for the background to look right, you could just edit the background picture so that when you apply it, it looks like there is a space there.

I don't know much about this stuff, but I once heard something about 'powerwall' stuff. Apparently it exists, but you need the right kind of graphics card.

Change the resolution and move the entire image. I'm pretty sure you can do that through the NVIDIA control panel. Don't take my word for it.
