I had a similar problem so I deleted Drapes and went with Wallpaper Tray and had much better luck.marty510 wrote:It is installed and has been removed and reinstalled, but I get this message when I try to just put it on my panel(add to panel)>>>>

Re: Drapes not working - lost
I'm using mint7 and have never been able to get wallpaper tray to sow up even after reinstalling it several times. I had wallpaper tray in mint6? Drapes looked pretty cool, but it was used(for awhile)as an alternative to wallpaper tray not appearing. I know with mint6 you'd have to restart your box to get it to show up, but no luck here. I'd use either one, definately.
Re: Drapes not working - lost
well, I deleted drapes and reinstalled wallpaper tray AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW...............there's wallpaper tray in "add to panel" ,so I added it to the panel. Different than mint6 where it would just show up in the applications list under "graphics".......after a reboot.
Small problem, just didn't know where to look.
Thanks monkeyboy for the clue

Now I'm at Mint9 and there isn't a "Wallpaper Tray" to be used from the Synaptic package Manager.Tis gone. Same problem as in the quote. Drapes disappears from the panel after I drag and drop as well. Also, when you drag and drop Drapes to the top panel, It doesn't work at all...........no "preferences" menu on a right click. It will work on the bottom panel, for awhile before it's gone.monkeyboy wrote:I had a similar problem so I deleted Drapes and went with Wallpaper Tray and had much better luck.marty510 wrote:It is installed and has been removed and reinstalled, but I get this message when I try to just put it on my panel(add to panel)>>>>

Hi Marty510
I was in the same boat as you so I tried "wally" from the repositories, its much like the other changers once you get it setup.
