Frustrating wallpaper problem

Monday, January 1, 2007 by ackland | Discussion: OS Customization

I have created a desktop theme, complete with a wallpaper I downloaded. My problem is, that whenever I switch to Desktop Client, the wallpaper disappears and is replaced with a solid grey/black colour.
I am also running a windowsblinds theme with the same wallpaper selected. However...every time I reboot, the wallpaper is replaced by the same flat grey colour.
I have tried clearing the cache...I have the same wallpaper selected in Control Panel.Display, as well.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance.

BTW In DesktopX Builder I open the wallpaper option & choose my wallpaper, I get a message saying the file has been copied to my current theme, but when I hit "Apply" nothing happens...still that drab grey colour!

OK...I seem to have solved the problem for now, by choosing "none" in the wallpaper option of DesktopX. (Can't figure that one out!)
The only problem now is an annoying nag screen that tells me "this theme was created for a different resolution & may not display properly."
It is displaying just fine....does anyone know how to stop this message showing up?

Many thanks.

EDIT: Sorry for the duplicate post above.
