Why can't I see the wallpapers that are diplayed when I download a skin?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi All,

I've been dowloading some really awsome skins from your site, but I can never seem to get, or find, the wallpaper that is show in the sample of the skin, which is a main part of the reason why I download the skin in teh first place. Why is this? Is it downloaded into any specific folder, or am I only getting the actual skin when I download? Please help. >

A lot of times the wallpaper isn't included with the skin...usually only when the author says "wallpaper included"...

You could try e-mailing the author of whatever skin you liked and ask them what wallpaper they used in the screenshot.

In most cases you will just be getting the skin. In some cases the author has bundled the wallpaper in the windowblinds folder. In that case you need to extract and apply it yourself. Look at the authors notes for the skin you are trying to use. There should be instructions as to what the author did. Alot of times they will just give a link to where the wall can be downloaded.

Or they will upload the wallpaper to this site too, usually under the same name as the skin. All you gotta do is click WallPapers to the left and do a search

If the wall was included, you need to make sure you have the option checked in Windowblinds configuration, "to apply any wallpaper supplied", or the wall won't load with the windowblind. Or, what everyone else said.
