The colour of this square appears to be part of my desktop background picture. I have it on shuffle slideshow.
(as my pictures change, so does the square to resemble my picture)

The square only appears in chrome, I can remove the square by restoring down the window.

The square will appear more often when I move my mouse over links or change tab.

This is Windows 8.1 64bit and I have 2 screens at 60fps 1920x1080.
First time I've seen this ever, no idea what it is, nothing on google.


Thanks,

Danny

I have a GTX 780 and I have the Geforce programs, Geforce Exp says I am up to date. Should I bring this issue to Nvidia ?

You do not need the GeForce program to use the card. As for Nvidia, there has been a long ongoing issue with their drivers failing, and they do not support Linux. Are you just using Windows to run the slideshow or a third party program? What are the models of the monitors you are using?

Are you using Native resolution on both monitors?
