to change wallpapers go into your control panel and change it...just make sure its a bitmap. :p

actually there are lot's of modules to do that. the best one arond should be lswchanger.dll :) if you can't figure out how to use it just download some PharOe's themes, he uses that module.

btw you need mzscript.dll also

and you have to load lswchanger.dll before mzscript.dll!

there must be something terribly wrong on your system if you can´t change wallpapers with the control panel. ;)

or, moshi, he might be using a theme that uses a module that paints an image onto the desktop so the wallpaper doesn't appear because it's hidden behind it. =)

either a very big image or a very small desktop then, hehe :)

|FaRRoW| : changing via Display Properties doesn't work??? what file format are you using? you can setup !system! Windows wallpaper only if you have BMP-file... if you choose any other file as gif or jpg, you'll be asked about Active Desktop enabling, but of course this feature doesn't work, because it is Explorer's feature... IMO...

if the wallpaper is included in the zip and is ots for the lsts then change the name of tha wallpaper.jpg or edit the .thm file with a text editor and change the wallpaper line so it does not load anything.
