MyColors Replacing Premium Suites
One place to get all of your premium content
Friday, April 25, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
As some of you probably have noticed, we've begun moving some of our Premium Suites over to MyColors. And if you've purchased the Pirate or Magic Desktop Premium Suites recently, you'll soon be receiving (if you haven't already) an email explaining that your purchase has been upgraded to the MyColors version of the suite, which have been tested to work in both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
What does this mean for Premium Suites overall? Well, they're being replaced entirely by MyColors Themes. We've begun the process of upgrading older themes such as Omega to MyColors, upgrading the skins and icons to work under Windows Vista.
As older suites are upgraded, if you purchased within a certain time window, you will receive a free upgrade, otherwise there will be a small upgrade fee. In the case of Omega, it's any orders placed since November 30th, 2007 up to the point where the suite was upgraded to MyColors. If you purchased prior to November 30th, you can upgrade for just $4.95. The upgrade price is there because the suite was XP only and has been upgraded for Vista.
Want to keep track of which of our Premium Suites have been upgraded to MyColors? Keep an eye on the Inspired Themes list.
The biggest advantage to users with this switch is now if we upgrade a theme, or fix a bug later on, it can be automatically distributed to all users via the MyColors distribution tool.

On each Theme page there is a link near the buy button for ODNT users to check on available discounts.

Prices vary according to licensing of theme. I think they range from $8.95 to $14.95 for OD subbers.

Took maybe a couple of minutes at most and now I have an updated suite. Upgrade worked fine with no problems for me, hope it works as well for everyone else.
Yes, I do have ObjectDesktop Ultimate and run Impulse on a XP Home 32bit system.
Thanks again folks, another job well done.

MaxVanBlade I had previously purchased the Magic Suite so the upgrade that I got an email for didn't cost me anything. Worked just as it was explained in the OP above by Zoomba.

The only ones that will have an upgrade path are ones that were previously XP only. Vista adds a new substyle and more icons, so that is why there is an upgrade. Pirate and Magic were always Vista, so they are free to anyone who already purchased the Premium suite.

The MyColor market is not the ODNT users. It's the non-skinners who just want ot have their desktop tricked out with their favorite school/team/car/etc
