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.

What tool bar icons? On the website? On the MyColors Theme Manager? On a particular theme? If it's a website, what browser, and what's the url? If it's a theme what theme? What OS are you using?

jpkylegirl goes to disinfect her monitor for putting non-Detroit based themes on it.

Let's talk!
There are premium themes here that were transfered over to Mycolors site so people can purchase them as mycolors themes - People who don't have Stardock softwares installed already. Why can't they do the same for us if we see something we like in the mycolors site. Since we already have all the needed softwares to run the skins, why not make them available on wincustomize store as well at our regular price since I should not pay again for software I already paid for.
I still want MyColors University of Louisville Desktop without it being in Mycolors standard. Who should I contact about this?
Thanks

Elsius Saint, we are in the process of updating all our non-vista themes to be vista ready. So keep a look out for it!

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.
But some of those themes are really sweet. I've purchased Quest and Gyre, but is there anyway to get just the theme without having to use the MyColors software? I'd still be willing to pay.

Whoa... I just noticed that I don't have the toolbar icons section and the animations section. Are they supposed to be there?
