Windowblinds isn''t a wallpaper changer

Try right-clicking the wallpaper and choose ''Set as desktop background''

Sometimes, skin authors will include a wallpaper in the .wba file, if they do, that wallpaper will be applied at the same time as the skin if the option to "Apply any wallpaper supplied" is checked in the WB configuration window. Most of the time, authors do NOT include the wallpaper because it adds so much to the file size. But, you will often find that authors will upload matching walls to Wincustomize and other art sites, and then give a link to that download so that you can apply the wallpaper yourself.

I hope this clears things up for you.

oh thanks
so you mean that i had bad luck that i chose skins without wallpapers?
and the links that i found i was suppose to apply them by myself?
so please can somebody give me a link to a skin that apply wallpaper at the same time so i could see that it works.

This is one that I made. The wallpaper will be applied with the skin if you have the option checked in basic settings as Boxxi says.

You can also set any skin to autoload any wallpaper. You can assign the option with skin studio.

You don't really need skin studio to do that. Put the bitmap for the wallpaper into the skin's theme folder. Open the [skinname].uis file in a text editor like notepad. scroll down to the end of the [Personality] section. If the wallpaper is named "mywall.bmp", for example, then add this line at the end of the [Personality] section:

Wallpaper=mywall.bmp

Save the changes to the file and you're done.
