Wallpaper Problems

Cannot Get WindowBlinds to Use Skin Wallpapers AnyMore!

Wednesday, December 13, 2006 by The-Reaper-Man | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I am having problems getting WindowBlinds 5 (Beta) to load my skins wallpaper anymore. I was checking out the Change Wallpaper section in the WB Config app and double-clicked one of the other wallpapers and WindowBlinds applied it. The problem is now and forever after that it will only use that wallpaper for each and every WB theme, completely ignoring the line about "Wallpaper=ThemeFolder\Wallpaper.jpg" in the UIS file. Now I went back and clicked on the first thumbnail where it says "Use Skin Wallpaper" but still it only loads that same wallpaper I originally mistakenly double-clicked the first time!

Does anyone know a way I can solve this?! Also I am using the ObjectDesktop 2007 version of all my Stardock apps, so it's the purchased version of WindowBlinds in other words. If anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

IN the WB config, go to the wallpaper section, drag the horizontal scroll all the way to the left. You should see "Use Skin Wallpaper"

Select and apply

Well, that was yesterday. Today, however, (don't ask me how) the problem seems to have fixed itself. Weird, eh? Perhaps it required a reboot for it to re-assert itself? Either way, I am grateful. Would have hated to have to manually apply the wallpaper for each and every theme!

I think it might - had to reboot for the change every hour to take effect

I'm having a similar problem, "Use Skin Wallpaper" is selected but the same wallpaper is always displayed no matter what skin I use.
Help, please. T.I.A

Not all skins come with a wallpaper.

The wall is usually mentioned on the skins description page if it comes with it - or might have a link to it if it doesn't.
