Explorer backgrounds

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I am trying to apply some explorer backgournds using the latest beta version of windowblinds, but when I maximize the explorer window the background turns to the default white background. When the window is not maximized the selected background is applied properly.

Is this a normal behaviour? Any ideas how to fix it?

Same problem here on Vista Ultimate x64. This is of course only one of the many problems with WB and Vista.

This is not a bug.

WB disables the background texture when using user overridden textures when you maximize a window as you cannot have transparency when the window is maximized.
