Just downloaded rainmeter. I can load skins on top of my computer's default desktop image, but I cannot change the desktop image with rainmeter. I can add a clock, add a calendar, or any kind of add-on to my computer's default desktop image that I've had since I bought this computer. But I cannot change the background image. I have a Microsoft computer and am running Windows as my computer's system.
I've watched youtube videos and read tutorials, but I have no idea why I cannot change the desktop image. Please help. Thank you!
