WindowBlinds and My Colors
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 by FlutePlayer | Discussion: MyColors
Hello,
I was just wondering.....I have the paid version of WindowBlinds.....but I love some of the themes in My Colors. Can I have both WB and My Colors on my pc without one interferring with the other? I would like to run both of them on my pc.....using My Colors on some days and then switch to WindowBlinds on other days. Thank you.

Yeah I have Mycolors and WB most recent addition. I have no issues runnin either 
.
Its kinda hard to choose between free blinds and "not free" mycolors when I see really great themes offered in Mycolors....
LOVE Stardock though and plan to keep up both my Wincustomize and Object Desktop subs

I asked about this over in the forums for WindowBlinds, and haven't gotten a concrete answer: Is there a way to design themes for MyColors (as in, complete overhauls) like there is in WindowBlinds (SkinStudio)?

Yes, you can have both.
I have been running both My Colors and WindowBlinds for about a full month now, without a single problem.
To be more specific, in case you didn't know, My Colors themes are just a suite of various Stardock programs running at the same time. example... WindowBlinds and IconPakager with wallpapers included.
In fact, I have downloaded several My Colors themes and can open up the individual packages in their respective programs.
You can change the color of the My Colors "WindowBlind" in WindowBlinds.
You can change the color of the My Colors icon in IconPackager. etc.
You can take icons from the IconPacker set and use them for ObjectDock Icons.
Experiment a little with your own setup, I am sure you will find the time rewarding.

I do believe the only way to be able to do that would be to get a job working for Stardock
