a small WB bug...but irritating

Thursday, December 19, 2002 by Lord Vimal | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

i found this WB bug. its a small one but its irritating.
when wallpapers are attached with WB skins, it asks for a confirmation whether you want to apply the wallpaper or not.

firstly:
+you cant close the confirmation window or CANCEL it.
+if you press NO button, still, the wallpaper is applied and i have to go to display properties and apply the wallpaper again...

so STARDOCK, windowblinds should be perfect!
keep up the good work guys.

PS: any easter eggs compiled??

Lord Vimal, right click on the desktop, click on properties, click on appearance, click on windowblinds, click on settings, scroll down to enhance Desktop elements, uncheck the box next to apply any wallpaper supplied. That will fix your problem.

I don't have that bug, it doesn't do that on my system....
I've never once seen the message you describe.
Hmmmm....
Anyone else with the same problem here?

Does the same thing on my system, too. Whether I select YES or NO, the wallpaper gets applied all the time now.

Kind of neat to see the wallpapers that people include, though. In the last build I had it disabled, and never realized that the backgrounds were circulated in the WBA.

This has been my pet peeve for about a year now. Since about ver 3.10 of Windowblinds, it applies the wallpaper, regardless if you choose yes or no, and it will not apply an Iconpackage at all. I always get the error message "there has been an error in applying the Iconpackage, please reinstall it" Because I have an icon set to match every skin, having to change the icons manually is a real annoyance to me. I have complained in the Iconpackager and Windowblinds newsgroups, but no joy.

By manually, I mean loading Iconpackager and applying the icons, not one icon at a time.
