Jorge... just a thought. Winstep and Workshelf detect screen res automatically, right?

If so (or if not) could/n't it also detect the res for the wallpaper and stretch/center/fill (whichever) and apply it in the "optimal" mode?

Not trying to make more work for you, but it's just a thought. I know I can do that through Windows, but seems to me a great code writer like you might do it better than MS did.

Also, since I'd like to learn skinning for Winstep is there a target date for the "builder module" you mentioned on WinCustomize? :)

Best regards!
doc

Doc, I had replied to your comment on the DarkTech theme.

Do you mean Xtreme is not automatically stretching the wallpaper for you?

As for the Theme Builder, alas, still vaporware, sorry... I do realize it's importance, however. :D

I saw your reply, Jorge. It might be stretching it but as in your screenie, it should be either centered or resized. If you look closely, the circle is an ellipse with the major axis vertical. It should be a circle, so it's stretched incorrectly... so either sensing/matching or multiple walls to match and apply.

As for the builder, the only reason I'm not skinning is that I'd have to relearn it with a new builder, and why do that twice?

C'mon, my friend... do the builder and you'll have more people skinning than you'll know what to do with!
