Explorer Backgrounds

Published on February 17, 2008 By Frankief In WindowBlinds

The newest build of Windowblinds says in the history that an option has been added to change explorer backgrounds. Where can I find that option in WBconfiguration?

This feature only, on vista.
In wb config window top last bar: Exproler backgrounds .

Okay, so why not for XP?

Because explorer backgrounds aren't functional in XP.

Perhaps I am confused. In previous versions of Windowblinds, you could change dialog backgrounds and MDI backgrounds, but the newer version does not have that option. I use a program called Windowpapers Xp to change folder backgrounds like in Win98. So what is "Exlorer Backgrounds"?

Explorer backgrounds are small texture images you can use in Vista to provide a nice backdrop that isnt solid white.. eg: a pinstripe or gradient.

Backdrop for what, folders? If so Windowspaper has that beat cause I can use any image I like.

Not if one doesn't use that

Gosh, don't mean to be stubborn, but again, are we taking about the background in folders or something else? Exactly what are Explorer backgrounds?

Yes.

I dont think it was a Yes/No question

No, it wasn't a yes or no question. So, are explorer backgrounds the same as folder backgrounds? If not, what exactly are explorer backgrounds? The reason for my confusion is that in a previous post it is stated that explorer backgrounds aren't functional in XP.

Sorry, in Vista, the explorer (folder) backgrounds can have an image applied to them through WB.

Which looks like:

You can do it in XP as well.

I stand corrected. You can't set the opacity in XP though.
