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.

Ok, should read everything... I don't need MC, 'cause as a WC and a OD Subscriber I have all the things completed. Am I right?
Btw.... the update of WB 6 doesn't work for me since days

In a way it is a bit of a shame it is replacing Theme Manager for OD Subscribers.

Name
Serial Number (if you are having trouble with the activation)
Product (theme)
The support email is the best way to get your issue resolved as quickly as possible. We will be attending very carefully to them all morning and afternoon. Should you see more people posting troubles they are having in other areas please encourage them to do the same for the fastest response. We will still be assisting the forums of course but our attention will be focused on the email support tickets. The more information we get the quicker we can resolve any troubles.
Thank you very much!

For those trying to validate Canadian NHL Themes, please continue to wait. I'll try to post here when it does become available again. Thanks, and our apologies to you!

What do you mean through the small installer? We only have 1 MyColors installer.
Reply #54 Wednesday, January 23, 2008 2:25 PM
Anyway heres the problem. WBVista somehow gone missing, so reinstalling the app fixed the issue.

Moletai: Do you have WindowBlinds installed?
If so make sure your WB version is 6.02. Older versions will not work correctly.
Also which OS are you on?
Reply #56 Wednesday, January 23, 2008 2:51 PM
That's the installer you should be using when applying MyColors themes.
In response to Neil's post... If you have WB installed, you need to make sure you have the most recent update of WB in order for MyColors 2008 and WB to play nicely with each other.

Will it eventually allow for saving of themes like TM does to build the themes? Or will theme manager still be around for us to make our own themes ?
