Wallpapers set in VD not showing on desktop

Sunday, September 2, 2007 by bussie | Discussion:

Hi there,

After installing the latest WB and OB i have problems with showing the wallpapers set in OB on the destkop.

In every VD of OB i have set a different wallpaper.
When i start up my PC and / or switch to an another VD in OB i don't get the wallpaper that is shown in the VD of OB on my desktop.

I can see in the upper left and right corner of the desktop a little of the wallpaper that is shown in de VD of OB.
So it seems that there is another wallpaper on top of it.

How do i get the correct wallpaper showing on my desktop?

The same thing has happened to me. Since I upgraded to the new version I no longer get customised wallpapers. I knew I should have ignored this upgrade.

bussie, since you say this has happened after installing the latest WB (I'm taking you mean WB6 Beta) I would hit the below link. It's for WB6 Beta feedback. You should get a resonse there.

If you don't get a response at the above link I would contact [email protected].

The problem was introduced with a Virtual Desktops patch, not WB so I wouldn't want to post a potentially confusing bug report on the WB feedback thread.

Also, if these are not official support forums then they absolutely should not be here at all. Is there a "legitimate" support forum we should use instead?

Thanks!

The forums are for users of Stardock's products. The help is provided by end users on a casual basis. Sometimes moderators and/or Stardock employees will post threads for a specific purpose and threads should be kept generally on topic. All official support is provided by Stardock through email. I hope that clears things up a bit.

Hi there, i would like to reply to the replies above.

I think when there are forums that people of Stardock should read and answer questions in these forums.
I'm already a long time user of Stardock products (since OS2 days) and i'm used to getting answers via the forums from Stardock people.

Sending a question to [email protected] doesn't get you always an answer.

The reason that i did post my question in the OB-section was that i did think that the new version OB (which has support for VD's) was causing the problems.

I would like to thank Nick for his response. That did the trick!
After installing the previous version of VD my VD's are working normal again.
