Friday, August 29, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock has partnered with AMD to offer a free MyColors theme inspired by AMD’s gaming website, GAME.AMD.COM.
Powered by MyColors technology from Stardock, the desktop theme features a new visual style created by Mike Bryant for Stardock Design and wallpaper featuring AMD’s digital superstar, Ruby.
With one quick easy download, users get everything needed to transform the look of their PC desktop. The AMD Game MyColors is intended to inspire a whole new group of PC enthusiasts and will be available for download from the web and also included on AMD’s Ruby ROM content disk.
Additionally, AMD will be distributing a specially branded version of Stardock’s electronic software distribution platform, Impulse, with the AMD logo. Impulse provides consumers with access to hundreds of games and PC utilities.
Phil Madis, Stardock’s Director of Business Development recently said “By working with key technology partners such as AMD, Stardock hopes to ensure PC gamers a great experience now and into the future.”

I really like the colors and the graphics. I think its yet another great job from Stardock.
I do agree wiff Chewy in post #5. We now need an Nvidia one ...
I am a big Nvidia girl. I have grabbed all the dreams and wallpapers and blinds for Nvidia from Stardock already 
I do love the ATI one but would greatly appreciate and adore an Nvidia mycolors theme to be added to the gallery
thanks and Great work again

I second that!
I like the AMD/ATI theme. Looks very cool. I have 2 objections, though:
1. No IP theme. A cool Red-ish IconPackager theme would complete the look!
and
2. Like people have been saying, the window borders are a bit too big...

I really don't understand why some people have this outlook.
I can understand that some of the people who have been around awhile have become accustomed to being able to alter any theme to meet their personal preferences and/or to be able to make matching skins to go with a theme.
But wouldn't the better way to look at the whole MyColors encryption thing be that if it weren't for MyColors then 99% of these "Branded" themes wouldn't even exist and therefore you wouldn't have them to edit anyhow?

I read Stardock's Gamers' Bill of Rights.
Why is their philosophy the opposite with people that want to customize Windows? I'll quote you this gem:
- Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers.
Honest people will always pay for a product. Pirates will pirate things no matter what you do, so why punish the paying customers? It seems Stardock realizes this in regard to games, which baffles me when it comes to their Mycolors DRM. This encryption stifles customization. It's the worst thing Stardock could have done.
