Wallpaper disappears wehn screen saver is running
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 by John Newkirk | Discussion: Object Desktop
I recently ran into a problem that I had not experianceed before. I have Windows Blinds, Deskscapes and cursor FX installed. When I selecta static wallpaper and a screen saver that is supposed to overlay it (in this case, falling leaves) the wallpaper disappears when the screensaver starts. If I unload Windwo Blinds everything is normal. I am sure this is just a setting I am missing. Can anyone help me out?

I am using Deskscapes to apply the wallpaper but I think the problem is Window Blinds. When I unload it, everything works normal, with it loaded the screensaver runs on a black background instead of the static wallpaper. This screensaver just animated falling leaves over the existing wallpaper, it is not a full screen screensaver.

This does sound like there are some compatibility problems. What OS are you running?
Instead of using Deskscapes to apply the wallpaper try using the Windows Personalization function and set your background there since you are using a static wall and screensaver and see if that makes a difference. Worth a try.

Good idea but still no luck. The problem has to be Window Blinds. With it unloaded everything works fine, With it loaded - black screen.

Can we assume you are using DeskScapes to apply your settings?
I don't think DeskScapes controls your screensavers. It is normal for your wallpaper to disappear when the screensaver starts.
If you mean dreams, then that's different.
