You've linked to the same image for both examples.
Not all WindowBlinds skins include wallpapers.
Most don't include icons, and if they do, you must have IconPackager installed.

This can usually be resolved by clicking on View/Toolbars and de-selecting Bookmarks Toolbar.

It's still an option in 5.49 - first 'wallpaper' option on the left in 'change my wallpaper'

| then in the prior versions(before 5.49) of WB you can select to use the supplied wallpaper or not. |

What I was referring to was you use to be able to select a check box to not use the wallpaper supplied with the skin. I'm assumung he might have the trial version of WB and if the skin came with a wall and that user overide was selected then that would prevent it from loading automatically with the skin. With the new version of WindowBlinds I'm still kicking the tires and taking it for a ride or 2 around the block. The 'wallpaper' option Bichur refers to gives you more options for wallpapers than does the standard windows display setting does, but I haven't found any similar user overide setting.

understood...
OP doesn't say, so I threw in another
I'm still working on the new layout... but working on a publication for school right now, not playing too much...
seems the option in the new layout should apply any wall that comes with a skin, else it stay as the last wall selected = or just select a wall that stays
I'm thinking that's now the application and override
not sure yet, will check a little later

So far there Bichur mine keeps the current wallpaper in place even if there is a wallpaper supplied with the skin. Which is okay I guess. I can still change the wallpaper to match the skin its easy enough. I'm thinking of making a subfolder and putting only skin supplied wallpapers in it for easier reference. That way I will have them separate from downloaded wallpapers. Later.

The link you gave directed me to the Object Dock icons for that WindowBlind. What you are looking for...and need is the IconPackager icons, whick I linked below. That should do the trick. If you have any further problems just post again.
