I have search for the answer to this question in the forum but have not found it.
Is it possible to change the picture on a theme and set it to always be attached to that theme.

So, what I want to do is change the picture in a theme and have it become permanently attached to that theme.

Sorry if this is a beginner question, but that is what I am.

Go to the Themes tab in Preferences and click on the Open Folder button. Look for the wallpaper.jpg or wallpaper.bmp file and replace it with an image of your choice.

When you next change to that theme, it will display your wallpaper.

I must be doing something wrong. I went into the folder and deleted the unwanted jpg.

I then copied and pasted the one I wanted into the folder.

Both disappeared and I am getting the picture from the next theme on the list.

Go figure..

The filename of your wallpaper *MUST* be "wallpaper" (e.g.; wallpaper.jpg or wallpaper.bmp). If you simply copied and pasted your image, chances are it has some other name.

Once that is done, to try it out switch to a different theme then back to the theme you just replaced the wallpaper.

TADA!!! :D Now to see what other adventures lie ahead...

I have been using and loving the program for a few years now.

I teach middle school and they love that I change the themes daily.

The only problem is that with all the time I spend playing with the possibilities, I have less time to drink!
