I noticed threads where people were complaining that downloaded wallpapers were showing up as plain grey textures in their game. I was pleased to find this snippet of information, which explains the phenomenon- in a post by *Laure*:
Only wall textures sized at the default 256x512 will work. Any other dimensions ---- even a single pixel smaller or larger will be rendered as a grey wall in the mac game.
There really isn't any way to fix the files on a mac unless you have virtual pc and can run simPE.
So the message to creators of wall textures is- please make sure your custom wallpapers are sized at exactly 256X512 pixels (or multiples of these; the ratio must be the same) in order for them to work for Mac users.
