FR: Two images side-by-side, e.g. for Ultrawide monitors #20

This is indeed awesome! I've loved setting my wallpaper to full disk satellite images for decades!

Feature Request: I have a new ultrawide monitor, so showing a full disk leaves a lot of black 'space' (see what i did there?! :-D) on each side. Could we have the option to choose two different images to display next to each other? Say GOES West & East, etc... The full disks are square images, so perhaps we could fit their height, but butt the two images together in the middle of the screen... this would leave the black 'space' to the sides, which would allow our collections of icons to be easily visible and to not cover any of the disk, and work out for both Windows and macOS users.

Again, thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion and I'm glad you like the app!

This feature seems like a good fit for a "Custom Views" section of the app which would also allow users to create custom cropped views. When clicking to create a new custom view, It could have an interface for selecting how to join multiple images together or how to crop down bigger views.

At the moment I have two new large changes I need to work on next (improving the distribution of images, and allowing different views [or none] on multiple monitors), but after those I should be able to start on this.
