n00b question about wb and separate wallpaper

from WinCustomize Forums
I've noticed some WB's come with the wallpaper separate from the wba file. When this happens, where am I supposed to put/install the wallpaper? Sorry for such a n00b question, but I am trying to learn...WB is completely new to me. Thank you in advanced

You can put the wallpaper(s) in your "My Pictures" folder if you wish and use the Wallpapers feature in the WindowBlinds configuration screen to select them.

Hope this helps you out.

Note: If you wish to select your wallpaper for all blinds make sure to un-check "Apply any wallpaper supplied" in WindowBlinds configuration screen under "Basic Settings" / "Enhance Desktop elements"

The default wallpapers for Windows XP come installed in "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpapers" folder, so you could place them there (this is my personal preference).

You can also place them in the "My Pictures" folder for your account.

Both of the locations above are used by WindowBlinds\Configuration Panel\Wallpapers section as a default on installation, so you can use that function in the WindowBlinds configuration panel.

The "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpapers" sub-directory is the source for wallpapers when using the "Display Properties\Desktop tab\Background list" to select your desktop background. The contents of "My Pictures" usually displays in this dialog after one of two things occur:

1 - you place images in the "My Pictures" folder

2 - you set a picture in the "My Pictures" folder as the background image

Note - it has been a matter of some discussion as to what exactly triggers the displaying of the "My Pictures" folder contents in the Display Properties dialog, and how one goes about disabling the displaying of that folder (due to large lists of images being displayed for users with many pictures in that folder). I have yet to see a real solution to this dilemma.

Hey Corky, using WB5 solves it, config WB not to look in My Pictures, then always set wall from WB.
