| No offense Jaffo*, (personally), but after spending as much as I have, for OD and almost all of the premium themes, this being offered to 'Members Only' is offensive to ME |
To give an example, were I to spend half a million dollars buying a Ferrari should I then expect all my petrol to be free?
The freely provided themes, etc are specifically for Subscribers....as a reward/incentive for subscribing.
It is not discriminatory [thus should not be seen as 'offensive'] but simple cause-and-effect.
He who subscribes [directly financially supports the site] reaps the reward.
I spend an inordinate amount of time 'supporting' the site, too...but it is my commercial support [subscription] that allows me access to these skins, nothing else....

Part of being a WC subscriber is to get exclusive content. Most of the people who subscribe to this site also own the software that content is available for on this site. People buy subscriptions to this site to allow distribution for free content to everyone. The exclusive content is basically a "Thank you" gift to the loyal subscribers. If the suite was available to all customers, it would degrade the value of the subscription.
Hopefully, we will be able to have more of these as a continued bonus for subscribers. We (Stardock Design) also plan to provide high quality content for the libraries on WC as well, especially some of the more neglected ones.

It has been up for days. Surely someone could have removed it by now. Disgraceful!!
It's getting too easy to avoid stopping in here these days.

WinCustomize moderators do not interfere with messageboard threads unless circumstances are extreme. Due to the level of offence and continuing offence this avatar is causing, the post has been removed.
I don't usually take this kind of drastic action, I hope people don't mind.

| I keep getting a message that MyColors won't support it. Please Help. Michelle |
I'm guessing that 'MyColors' is the same as say 'AlienGuise' - it will only allow you to run themes based on the OEM (as in other MyColors) - but will not support running other skins that need WB, et al, to be installed separately

Yep, that is it exactly. MyColors is a base install of the programs and will only run the suite that you purchased. The free theme requires the purchased versions of the software to run.

Needless to say, "My Colours" is no longer installed on this system. Of cousre, when I uninstalled My Colours it removed a bunch of my ODNT apps. Grrrr.
Stardock, there needs to be a fix for ODNT users who apply the OEM themes.
Reply #100 Saturday, December 30, 2006 1:23 PM
Maybe they need to be like that for ODNT subscribers?
I do notice I have:
ThemeMgr.exe (ThemeManager 2007) & ThemeMgrO.exe (Theme Manager) in the TM folder
I'm guessing the ThemeMgrO is the OEM...

Joey, a Wincustomize.com subscription is a specific fund-raiser for Wincustomize.com [the site], whereas purchasing Object Desktop, etc is a straight-forward product purchase, where the price paid sustains the product development itself and has no direct bearing on this site...
