MyColors and WindowBlinds conflict

Thursday, July 10, 2008 by DorkCoffeez | Discussion: Stardock Support General


The new update to MyColors caused a conflict with current installs of WindowBlinds. We are working on a fix right now for this problem and will post it right away.

In the mean time here is the current work around if you have updated MyColors and are now unable to skin (would only apply if you had WindowBlinds installed as well).

-Uninstall WindowBlinds
-Updated MyColors (settings tab > update)
-Reboot your computer
-Reinstall WindowBlinds
-Reboot your machine again

This will clear the issue for you. In the mean time the developers are working hard to fix the update for MyColors overwriting certain WindowBlinds files. Sorry for the trouble in this matter and thank you for your patience.

Uninstalling and reinstalling can take a long time when there are many themes to backup. I wanted to ask if I can uninstall wb and not loose wb themes in shared documents folder (winXP)? Then it would be much more easier.


Yes you can retain your themes. However as a person of caution I always recommend back ups. Even when it works its always best to back up.

OK, EVERYTHING works fine now EXCEPT "Think Green". It will not apply thru MC or WB. RAD


There are some developers looking at the TG theme right now. Sorry I don't have more info at this time.

uninstall both WindowBlinds and MyColors. After a restart reinstall MyColors first then WindowBlinds.

Did that still Think Green WB not applying.

Edit just seen above post, thanks for update

If you did not update last nights build then you should be ok.


Thank you for your reply.Since I'm not the brightest crayon in the box,to be safe I think I will delete it rather than mess something up.
