Windowblinds not applying wallpaper
Sunday, January 27, 2008 by Nicoll | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hello, Even though I have selected "Apply the wallpaper included in the skin" and applied changes, Windowblinds refuses to do it, even when I brouse through my skins it no longer shows me the wallpaper in the preview. It worked okay before!
Anyone got any idea what's wrong? I am using Windowblinds 6.02.
Thanks.

Yep, this is a important question; very few WB skins include the wall of those that do very few of them have the wall associated with the skin in SkinStudio when created.

Can you confirm it has an associated wallpaper?

It is not just one skin, it's a few skins and I know they have wallpaper as they use to work fine but now when I go to the wallpaper tab I cannot find the missing ones! I tried reinstalling the skins but still no go. I purched 3 skins yesterday from this site that states they include wallpapers but the same thing with these new ones! I can't look in the file as it's .wba format. Where are the wallpapers going?

Yes included, this does not always mean they are set to apply with skin. Most Stardock skins include several sizes of walls so thus are not set to apply with skin.
WB skin folders and wallpaper folder are found in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds

Same problem here, with the latest update to WB6, no wallpapers included with skins are applying at all. They do however load into the wallpapers section and I can manually apply them from there. A little bug in the latest release I imagine.
