Weird background texture in WB

Tuesday, July 13, 2004 by BlueDev | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

After using the shareware version of WB for a while I recently purchased Object Desktop. I am using WB version 4.38b[a].002. I recently reformatted my computer and then did a clean install of OD. Since then I have noticed this really odd background texture that is gray and looks like sort of bubbles. It is apparent only when using WB, not with XP themes or classic Windows ones. It is also there no matter what skin I am using. It is really starting to bug me and I would love some help in figuring out where it comes from and how to get rid of it. I am including a couple shots so you know what I am talking about.

Shot #2


Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Open your windowblind configuration.  On the left click on *basic settings*   On the right you will see two tabs.  Click on the one called backgrounds.  Uncheck the override button.  That should help.

Thanks for the idea. However when I click on the background tabs the override button is already unchecked. I checked it, applied, then unchecked it just to be sure and it ends up the same.

In the center section, in the section *skin window backgrounds*, is that box checked?

Okay, I will now hang my head in shame. That did the trick goodmorphing. Thanks so much. I am guessing this is one of the things that is disabled in the shareware version. Man, these Stardock programs do so much I am learning something new every day. Thanks again!

You're welcome.  Sometimes, though, skins  have included backgrounds and you won't see them with that box unchecked.  You can always enable it for that particular skin if you want.  If the skin doesn't include a background I guess it applys the defaults.
