I've recently downloaded the xZero build of BB on Windows 10. Everything was working properly, but when I installed it as a shell, the background changed to black and I couldn't set a custom image anymore. I've tried dragging the photo onto the desktop, changing the background image path in bbStyleMaker, putting a bsetroot line in the config for the style I'm using like this:

but the background stays black.
 
Thanks in advance;

First of all, make sure bsetroot.exe IS in your Blackbox folder. If not, download it from our plugins section.

Second of all, make sure the path is correct. That red.jpg is actually in backgrounds\3colours.

If it still doesn't work, please post your blackbox.rc and plugins.rc files.

I checked and it is. I think i didn't type in the right path in the previous image I posted, but I changed it and it still isn't working. I tried reconfiguring and restarting after I save the style config, but to no avail.
 
Here is my blackbox and plugins rc:

I don't see anything wrong here, provided there IS a style file named Caesium in styles\Ararme.

Try replacing your bsetroot.exe with this one

I installed a different build and it works now. I was starting to think I'm doing something wrong, but it looks like the issue was with that build, or how it behaved on my system anyway. Everything works now, I copied my configs and everything. Thanks for trying to help!

I'm glad. Do you mind saying which build had the issue and which build you finally installed?

bbclean-xzero is the build that didn't work (the background that is, everything else worked),

bbLean-1.17.1(64bit) is the one that works.
