I just downloaded SD's two recent Vista themes, frost and midnight. Everything seems fine except that I don't see the patterns in the backgrounds of open windows (e.g. the horizontal pinstripes in midnight, or the subtle texture in frost) in either skin. However, if I apply the older "Leo" skin, those pinstripes show up fine. I fiddled around in the WB configuration menus and made sure that the "I want skins to be able to apply textures to the back of explorer windows" box is checked. It is. Is there something else I should be looking for?

I would recommend updating to the latest WB version.
I just tested Frost and Midnight on Vista, both backgrounds appear to be working correctly on this end.
Still not working with CAMOUFLAGE WindowBlinds (XP version)
I'd love to update WB. Unfortunately, I've spent the last 15 minutes searching in vain on the Stardock website looking for an update link. Does anyone know where they hide it?
there's a very good link in Impulse
Thanks. I don't have Impulse, but I guess I'd better get it, eh?
actually, it is still listed at Stardock Central. I didn't attempt to update but it is listed.
I got it and the WB update did the trick.
