How would i get a bmp image to be used in a skin?
Does it have to be done when the skin is created or can it be done at anytime?
Thx

I assume the skin is for windowblinds. Then you need Skin Studio to alter it or create a new part.

Now, since your topic said wallpaper, I assume you want to have a wallpaper loaded with the windowblind skin. Then, you need to go to the personality section of skin studio, and import the image(wallpaper), to the desktop wallpaper section. Make sure you only import bmp files. Then, you need to make sure that you have the option checked to "Apply any wallpaper supplied" checked, in the windowblinds settings(through display properties), and reload the skin. The wallpaper will now automatically load with the skin.

If you don't use skin studio, you could edit the .uis file in notepad, if it's a .uis2 skin. Just add the wallpaper file (e.g. mywall.bmp) to the skin folder, then open the .uis file in notepad. At the end of the [Personality] section, add a new line
Wallpaper=mywall.bmp
Save the file and reload the skin.
Wallpaper=mywall.bmp
Save the file and reload the skin.
