WB4 and Background Windows

April 1, 2003 7:04:04 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
For some reason neither mine nor any one elses windowblinds skins are displaying the ShellStyleLarge(whetever).bmp at all. The Control Panel background is showing properly. If I remove the skin's defined background from the skin, it displays the Windows default bitmaps as nice as you please. This is driving me nuts.

Any ideas?

Is this why WB4 is being held back?

Its annoying because I've almost finished updating my "Compewter" skin for WB$ and I don't know if its the skin or my computer or what.

I can not get the control pannel background to change. Even when running the default XP theme I don't have those little music notes or whatever the background is. Any ideas?

jcg, try saving your ShellStyleLarge(whatever).bmp files as 8bit indexed color bitmaps. That solved the problem for me.
