Windows Blinds wallpaper changer NOT working!!!!!

from WinCustomize Forums

I'm using windows vista and have WindowBlinds 5 (5.50 (build 102 x86 - Vista Edition))  I have the wallpaper changer set up to change every hour but it is not working.  Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?  Thanks

Hello someone31988. Sorry to have to say this but it would appear that either something else in messing with or controlling your wallpaper or the wllpaper changer is broke. My only other suggestion is that you contract Stardock support.

We've not had other people join this thread, so either it's working or they don't use the function.


Just because people did not join the thread doesn't mean that it works for them or they do not use the function...could just mean that the people that have this problem, look at the forums for an answer and thats it or if they find a solution, they do not bother to take a lil time, subscribe to the forum and help others out. I just recently started posting and replying to forums.... all the help I've gotten from people taking there time to give a hand it's only fair that I do the same when I can.
Almost like pulling over to help someone on the side of the road, you know you would rather not waste moments of your day stopping, it's an inconvienence, but you do it anyway.

At this point, I'd email [email protected] with a description of the problem, my system config (from the WB app) and a link to this thread.

Before I did that though, I'd upgrade to 5.51 via SDC. (current released version: WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86)))

Interesting Bichur. Someone31988 said that there were no hidden icon on the desktop. Is it possible to have an icon hidden and not no it (I'm not making fun here, serious question)?


I was referring to (and I think Someone31988 was also) to: right click desktop, arrange icons by, uncheck 'show desktop icons' = that 'hides' them = = which seems to affect WB wallchanger, Natural Desktop, I think Aquarium Desktop, and possibly it's why DTX doesn't always change the wall when I load a theme.

you can hide one such as network in the desktop tab - mine's not shown since i'm not on a network but that doesn't seem to affect the changer - seems only all being hid does.

can't remember the hide the desktop icons option in Vista (only played with one on 2 different weekends)

i have a legit windows blinds.... it should really have a button "check for update" in the system info section. I'm gonna d/l the newest build. I only just installed windows blinds couple weeks ago...probably right before the update! Thanks for the update Bichur

naw. then cracked versions might be able to be updated to a legit one

Stardock Central let's me know when an update is available & allows me to make an archive copy of programs for easy rollback or to transfer to a new computer.
