Different wallpapers for different monitors

Hello All, I’m coming from a Windblows Environment hoping to make Manjaro my daily drive, I have used Linux before but not Manjaro.
My systems are quite large and share 2 Viewsonic XG-2703-GS IPS 2560x1440 GSync and 1 Alienware AW3423DW 3440x1440 Gsync monitor via a gaming capable KVM.

The Alienware AW3423DW Gsync is a QD OLED display and as such is subject to image persistence and burn in, to mitigate this under Windows I used a program called Display Fusion that allowed me to set wallpaper for each monitor and thus I could have identical wallpaper on the IPS screens and a single black pixel stretched to cover the entire Alienware screen - no image nothing to burn in, I literally keep nothing on this screen its only for AAA gaming.

I have seen there is a program for X11 called Nitrogen and I have installed it but I have not been able to figure how to bring up it’s interface ( or for that mater how to use it ) - can someone help me out please.

** Addendum **
After a bit more fiddling I discovered the answer for this part of things was simpler than I thought - but not what I am used to, usually I would just right click over and image and go select as wallpaper. In Manjaro however you…

  1. Find a blank space on the desktop and right click
  2. Select Configure desktop and wallpaper.
  3. Select the image you want OR select ADD IMAGE and direct it to an image already on your system.
  4. Click on the image to be applied
  5. Select OK and then close the app.

Thanks in advance to those who responded the answer turned out to be much simpler than I thought.

Hi,
This looks a bit convoluted but does what you want:
