Because it doesn't look like you have there.
code:

                        <Windows>
                            <Definitions>
                                <Definition Id="947"><File>81947 Definition.txt</File></Definition>

RE: [?] WLM 8.1 Background
also just out of curiosity have you hidden the overlaying blue image that goes over the main background?

I can't remember the exact resource number but if you check consolidate windows you may be able to find it.

If it's 20056, then I just did it and removed the ugly border :P If it's 20057, then nothing really changed. If it's neither of these, then I dont know which one.

RE: [?] WLM 8.1 Background
ok well the last thing you can do is wrap an element around the whole window.

If you open an element after the 3rd line in the 947 definition in this way:

<element layout=filllayout() background=rcbkd(yourimage)>

and then close it before the 2nd last line it should work. I used that technique back in 8.1 to get a layering system happening so it should work for you.

920 is the conversation window file, not 947

that may explain why :P

947 is the logon window, which you added a background to in your smile a mile skin......so you can just copy that code if you want to add a background to it.

Yay it worked, by replacing

code:
<Element Layoutpos=auto Layout=FillLayout() ID=Atom(ai105)>
with
code:
<Element  Layout=FillLayout() background=rcbkd(59001)>
But how do I get it to resize to fit the window?

Though be careful because from memory in 8.1 it was just a static color. You can assign a background to it though if it is.

that's why i was answering stuff to do with logon window :P
