WB Config and Explorer Background images.
Can we add more ?
Thursday, December 11, 2008 by HG_Eliminator | Discussion: Object Desktop
Is it possible for WB Config window to recognize explorer backgrounds added to the folder? and if so what are the peramiters for the Images? I have tried TGA. BMP,Jpeg to no avail.

Quite possibly John, Typically WB config has had a browser function to add or pick other Images for certain items or looks in a specific folder for the default images given * which you can normally add to*, but this section neither seemd to work. I was hoping that there was a way some could be added.
I realize for us with SKS skills it is a simple task. But I was asked by another who is not a skinner who would like to choose a explorer BG other than the supplied ones..

You have to add the background texture to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Vista Images\Textures and then edit the backgrounds.uis file in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Vista Images and add a new entry for your texture.

Littleboy, that isn't working. I can't find that path on my computer. 
I have no users folder in C. I have to go: my computer/shared documents/stardock/windowblinds/vista images/ textures; to get to texture folder. I also can't find the uis file in vista images. I use WB to open the texture folders, and get a "There appears to be no uis file in this skin, are you sure it's a it's a windowblnds skin?" error.
I have one image of my own that loaded, and is applied to explorer backgrounds when selected, but when I try to open this file, and substitue the image for a new one, I get the same missing skin data error. What am I doing wrong??
I'm using WB 7 and windows XP sp3.

I'm not sure but I would assume that any added image would have to be linked via code somewhere also.
Easy enough to replace them per skin tho.
