MyColors Featured on Download.com!

That's some high-profile exposure

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

In case you haven't checked it out yet, you can now grab a copy of MyColors, complete with the Diamond theme from Download.com.

This is pretty cool since MyColors is the featured download on the site today.  This means skinning is getting some very high profile exposure right now, with users downloading and trying out customized UIs for the first time.

MyColors works on both Windows XP and Vista.  It's a great solution for users who want to just press a button and have a complete theme applied without messing with dozens of applications, and hunting down individual skin files.  Plus, it's just what you need if you want to check out any of Stardock Design's premium content such as NBA, NCAA and NHL skins, not to mention a whole pack of original, Inspired themes.

Head on over to Download.com and give it a spin!

no that was after DL from Download.com this is on PC XP. On the lap Vista it wiped quest out of my colours left it showing in WB but crashed the program as soon as selected it so had to remove the Quest folder on the Laptop. On XP the preview shows up as the encrypted images and loads as per screenshot

You can almost bet a nice % of the detractors are and were already Stardock-haters.

Congrats on the feature.

What version of WB are you using?  I have a feeling that it needs to be ugraded.  MyColors will use WB when installed, but it doesn't see if it is older than what MyColors needs (which is something we are building into it).

New Update. uninstall mycolors reboot then re installed via Impluse, closed impluse opened Mycolors and both Quest and Diamond in Mycolors program wanted to update so ran update. Diamond ok Quest WB still no good. Re DL Quest from Stardock site and this time hit yes to uninstall when asked at end of set up uninstall was all it did so ran set up of Quest again and now works fine. Diamond WB still in WindowBlinds and loads ok Wall still there and Icons still in IconPackager and load ok So both load ok, but Diamond not in Mycolors now

Weird. I wonder what exactly is the permutation we need to do to reproduce this.

Thanks RickJP a ton for your help!

After My Colors is re-installed through Impulse you'll have to go back to c|net for Diamond.You can't get it from MC menu, it will not work. Frogboy, I sent a report on what happened to support. MC self-uninstalled,WB's crashed,lost themes,etc.I've got it back to normal now so I'm good,but weird things are happening. referance post:https://forums.wincustomize.com/309649 and my letter. BTW if any of you now have any WB's marked "unknown" trying to load it may crash WB config.
