In an old post I suggested adding a background image to PB, moving it to your second monitor, setting PB to float and going to presentation mode.

Here's another idea. First, if you are unfamiliar with dual monitor setup and wallpaper, here's a good source.

First thing, download a fairly quiet (as in not too much visual noise) multi-screen wallpaper. If the site offers it, grab the single picture version, and the split file (two pictures) version. DigitalBlasphemy offers these, and has some great wallpapers, but I'm sure other sites do also.

Now, use the tips and/or wallpaper managers in the above link to use the single widescreen wallpaper to both monitors (you can also apply the two pic version if you prefer).
Now, set PB to float on one of you screens (I recommend the one you are using as your secondary screen), and set the background to the applicable multi-file picture for that monitor.
Now maximize the plex (double-click the plex background) and activate Presentation mode.
And that's all there is to it. The plex blends perfectly into your desktop, giving you a seamless picture. Enjoy!

Note: If the site doesn't offer a split file version, you can use a picture editor of your choice to split them into two.
