Wallpaper in Gloss Burgandy theme

from Stardock Forums

In all the preview shots of the Gloss Burgandy theme, it is shown with a wallpaper of library shelves, but this does not seem to be included with the theme itself...  Any idea where I can get it from please?

When you apply it with MyColors select one of the 2 wallpapers (but lots of resolutions) a copy is placed in your windows directory.
Otherwise extract the wallpapers from Gloss Burgundy.MyColors file from C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\ThemeManager folder in Vista by renaming the MyColors extension to zip but using a copy of it of course. The wallpapers are in the extracted file in lots of resolutions.
Or bookshelf wallpaper is from vladstudio here in whatever resolution and format but it is pay for high rez, great site to get a lifetime sub for.

That pisses me off, users with regular standard ratio monitors can download without having to pay, but the widescreen users get totally shafted. Load of bull.

The wallpaper is included with the theme, and there are a quite a few resolutions available in the wallpaper manager of MyColors.

Thanks for the quick replies.   I've figured out why I couldnt see it... Although there were all the wallpaper resolutions and thumbnails shown, they were all showing the same image which was for the plainer of the 2 wallpapers.  Not sure why its not displaying properly, but I've got it now, so thanks :D

1920x1200 is my res, it's just the fact that he's unjustly singling out widescreen users that angers me.

I noticed the inclusion of 1680x1050, which is optimal for a number of 22" +/- LCDs on the market (including my own). That res is wonky because it's aspect ratio (16:10, instead of say 4:3 or 16:9) is different than all of the other resolutions normally provided in past desktop theme wallpapers. That was an issue because images were distorted if you didn't resize and/or crop them to retain the aspect ratio. So...thanks!
