Very few WindowBlinds skins include a wallpaper, of the few that do some are in a zip file, as there will be multiple sizes, in the WindowBlinds skin folder after it is installed, those that include only one wall are not always set to apply when the skin was created.

Oui!
Shouldn't that be "véritable anglais"?

Then what is the point of Windowblinds. All the tool bars (etc) look horible without a wallpaper. Wincustomize should indicate which ones have a wallpaper or star dock should refund my money for worthless software!!!

Err..... I see you've totally missed the point about WindowBlinds.
WindowBlinds isn't a wallpaper changer/manager. It's a GUI changer with the possibility for changing wallpaper as well.

It's all up to the creator of each theme wether he/she wants to include a wallpaper, not the software developer (Stardock).

I don't create skins that auto apply a wallpaper. It's impractical considering not everyone has the same screen resolution/aspect ratio. I may include a wallpaper in the package or link to the wall in the skin description.

Even when I download a theme that does contain a wallpaper, Windowsblinds will not apply it.  I can see the wallpaper in my wallpaper section and even when I click "apply the wallpaper included with a skin" in my Windowsblinds settings, it still doesn't work.  I can apply the wallpaper manually but shouldn't it be done automatically?

Thanks for any help.

Post a link to the WB skin in question.

All of these wallpapers worked when I first downloaded the skin but when I changed to a different skin and then changed back, they are not applied automatically.

The wallpapers are available and can be applied manually.

Thanks for your help!
