When I load a desktop theme the wallpaper doesn' show, only the objects show and I don't know how to make them show up as a unit.I like very much the LCARS theme of Rmart and this is what I tried to install. It didn't work with the other Lcars themes by other authors neither.......same thing...the wallpaper dosn't show. There is something I am doing wrong for sure . Can anybody please help me out? Thanx.

LCARS+ theme uses a ".bmp" file for the wall, so it should work.

You might try the following:

- Restore the default Windows theme, including all icons (IconPackager > Tools > Restore all Icon > Yes > OK.

Note - use right-click desktop > Properties > Theme tab > select Windows XP in Themes list > click Apply - if you are running Windows XP.

- Unload all programs

- Clear the DesktopX cache by deleting the DesktopX folder found in "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder - for a tutorial on clearing the cache, you can go here Link

- Download a copy of the theme you want to use by following this tutorial Link


After a successful download, simply double-click the downloaded theme file, and it should load itself including the wall.

Post again if this fails, and someone is bound to have a suggestion.

you type fast Corky O.

If you have access to builder mode (right click system tray icon) then in that mode right click the builder icon, choose configure, desktop, wallpaper, and make sure background image is checked.
