Vistered Little default wallpaper problem and fix

From a recent email request for help with a Vistered Little default background wallpaper question:
>>
How can I make one of the wallpapers the background for first time visitors instead of white? I still want ’em to be able to click on thumbnails once they figure out they can change wallpapers themselves, but I want that first impression to be a particular wallpaper instead of white.
<<

problem happens when the default wallpaper image in the theme’s /wallpapers/ directory isn’t also present in the theme’s /images/ directory

Easy Fix:
Web browse to your blog home page. Then open up the source for that page. Up toward the top find the CSS entry for the default wallpaper image, #wallpaper0:

#wallpaper0 { background: url(‘…/vistered-little-1/wallpapers/myWallPaper.jpg’) …

copy the image file (in this case myWallPaper.jpg) to the theme’s /images/ directory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A better fix:
Open functions.php in the theme editor.

Scroll down to the function spitOutWallpaperCSS()
(about line 90 in the editor) and find the line:

print “/images/” . $wallpaper . “‘) top center fixed; }\n”;

and replace “/images/” with “/wallpapers/” like this:

print “/wallpapers/” . $wallpaper . “‘) top center fixed; }\n”;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope this helps you Vistered Little fans.
