The Wallpaper is not included in most WindowBlinds. (unless author adds it to the files, you are looking at just a screenshot)

If you are wanting the whole package, try Suites section in the Library.

its in that skins folder. try looking in c:\program files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\name of skin

or in other words it in the folder in the windowblinds folder that has the same name as the skin you want to get the wall from.

Sometimes you have to look in the skin folder in the WindowBlind directory to find the wallpaper and then apply it yourself manually. Don't know why, but I've found that in my experience. Whereas sometimes WB will apply the wallpaper when you load up the skin. edited: I was too slow to post. Anyway, that should work.

If you go to display properties and the appearance tab for windowblinds, and then click the windowblinds button, the windowblinds configuration will appear. Click on basic settings, and you will see a box that says, "apply any wallpaper supplied". Check that box. This is the default setting to apply the wallpaper, if it is supplied.

You can also force skin studio to choose the wallpaper that you want to load with the skin. But, it must be in .bmp form. Then, whenever you apply the skin, the wallpaper too will be applied.(XP Only)
