For years, power users have been customizing their Windows desktop by applying skins, themes, icon packages, wallpapers, widgets, etc.
To the new user, the number of steps in order to achieve a completely new desktop has often discouraged them from getting into it. How do they get their normal desktop back if they want? What programs are free and what programs aren't? Do I have the latest versions of the various programs?
The answer for most users to those questions has been Stardock's popular desktop enhancement utility suite, Object Desktop.
But now, there's an alternative choice for users who want to apply a particular theme they see and like without having to worry about the software at all. It's called MyColors.
MyColors allows users to purchase individual themes. The themes themselves contain information as to what software they need to run and MyColors automatically provides the user with the appropriate versions of the software they need to use it.
To ensure there are enough themes of interest to users, Stardock has teamed up with the NHL, the NCAA, NBA, GM, Ford, and many others to create themes for everything ranging from the Corvette Desktop to the Boston Celtics. In addition, dozens of totally original themes have been created as well and more hundreds more are on the way (there's some big announcements coming up).
Later this year, MyColors is expected to be pre-loaded on several major OEM PCs (though Stardock cannot publicly disclose who they are yet).
To celebrate the official launch of MyColors 2008, Stardock is providing a free theme on the MyColors website so that users can try MyColors for themselves. It is compatible with WindowBlinds and Object Desktop.

We had an issue with it around the time of your posting. It has been re-published, and should be ok now. Please let me know if you have any more issues.

I am using Windowblinds 6 (the paid version). If I download and run My Colors 2008.....just to check it out........will I be able to change back to my Windowblinds theme? I just don't want any conflicts between the two programs. Thank you.

Automotive and some of the NCAA themes are being converted still to the 2008 format.
If you have Object Desktop, MyColors isn't quite as compelling since you have the software. But if you don't, it's a pretty big deal.
