How are you opening the window? It should be fine if you're opening the window with i.e. CreateWindow/CreateWindowEx() and don't change it too much afterwards.

For example, if the parent of the window or the style etc is being changed then it could just detach again, because Wallpaper Engine's changes to the window get reverted.

I just programmed a console apllication. So when i run it, the window opens automatically

Ah, okay, I don't think the console window will work I'm afraid. It needs to be a window created by the application.
