When I try to apply a new wallpaper, nothing happens. The wallpaper is stuck as the default Windows 7 one.
So far from what I have read, Windows 7 Starter will not let you change your background at all, but I had done this previously using My Colors.
I don't believe MyColors will apply wallpapers on Win7 Starter Edition because the ability to change the wallpaper has been deliberately removed by Microsoft in order to make this version more affordable. If you are able to change the wallpapers using MyColors, more power to you, but to my knowledge, this will not work.

The wallpaper changed on our Acer netbook only after first applying the green theme. We could not change wallpaper only...
Hi i have just changed my wallpaper on windows 7 starter,, i downloaded the diamond theme first and then it let me change the wallpaper!! thankgod now i can look at my babies!!!!
Windows 7 Starter on HP Mini - NHL Leafs theme - it installed in full in admin account, incuding the wallpaper, but on a regular user account, wallpaper and some other images, such as the recycle bin, did not get set up. Any fixes???
Im happy this thread came up here. I just got a eMachines em250 netbook from Walmart today and got all the proggies needed. Well I installed all my purchased My Colors themes and it works perfectly although, some areas appear black like around the start menu (probably for lack of transparency reasons)
But other then this everyone works rightv with Windows 7 Starter! 
We installed "Diamond" theme and were able to change the wallpaper picture. The only issue we had was that it stretched our picture to fit the screen. This really looks funny when you start with a "portriat" picture...
The way I worked around it was to create a blank black picture the resoultion of our screen (1024x600 on the Dell Inspiron Mini 10V) and pasted in a copy of the portriat photo. This way you get the picture not distorted and black sides...
We did run into a problem trying to use the original Windows 7 Starter without the Diamond theme. In that case, it does not allow you to change the background using the original Windows 7 settings. Only when the Diamond theme was active.
i have been able to change just the wallpaper with the green theme the only problem i run into is all my wallpaper pictures become stretched to fit the screen....how can i fix this, keep in mind i am very new to computers and would need a step by step break down to fix it myslef
There is a solution to this.
Go here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/cf67c2ad-fd07-465a-9173-5f6771c334b6 and scroll down to maybe the 3rd entry. It requires a bit of registry tweaking, but it works.
Only problem I see is that the Windows task/start bar is not transparent as on other versions of Windows. But it works.
I still can't get the wallpaper to change on the Toronto Maple Leafs theme for a non-admin windows account... any fixes for this? I am using Windows starter.
MyColors will require admin access to fully apply the theme. Try running the app as admin under the limited account.
Well ok
Here is the solution for the distorted image when you put in 10 inch background wall paper
standard picture photograph are square in shape and your netbok is rectengular in shape
sosososso easy, just use paint" programme to open the picture and CUT it to rectangular shape and click copy,
then open new file in paint" and click paste it then save it under different file name
TADDAAAAA setle now no more distorted image in background wall paper... SOOO EASY

Maybe he wanted us to watch Sex and the City 2 because of the Vivienne Tam netbook with a custom theme from Stardock that makes an appearance...
