Halloween Theme is Here!

Free for WinCustomize and Object Desktop Subscribers!

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News

October is the month of ghouls and goblins, and aside from trick or treating or throwing a Halloween party, you can also “dress up”  your desktop for a spooky Halloween look.  Today, Stardock is screaming with joy as we present the MyColors Halloween them, which is free to WinCustomize Subscribers and Object Desktop subscribers. 

This theme includes a creepy visual style to change the look of Windows with spectacular animations in the start menu and "please wait" dialog, along with a gruesome desktop gadget, and a freakishly designed icon pack with 64 unique icons, and wallpapers.  This is just about everything you need to transform your desktop into its own haunted place.

  • Object Desktop subscribers:  The MyColors theme will be added to your account automatically.
  • WinCustomize subscribers:  You can find a .zip file containing all the components in the Subscriber Resources area.

Quick fix:

"Go to registration page, right click on the Halloween Theme, click update registration, delete the text that says [No serial number required], then put a space (since you can't click apply with no text in there), then click apply (it will now say Serial number associated with account), and now you can finally install it."

Understanding that My Colors has a hicup at the moment, if you are both a Objecte Desktop and WinCustomize subscriber does it make a difference where you downoload it from? 

Oh well, just thought about it a minute and the simple answer is if you want to load the theme all at once then use My Colors, when it's fix. DOH

I'm an object desktop subscriber, and I don't even know where the registration page is! I'm about ready to have a stroke over this (I know, it shouldn't be that important, but my OCD is really kicked in over this!). I can't find the package on MyColors or Impulse. I tried checking at the SDCentral webpage...nothing. The suite can't be found, can't be accessed...I'm just ignorant about how to obtain this awesome looking suite (from the preview above). SOMEBODY help me!

Around the upper right hand corner of impulse, you will see a little "key" icon. Click that and it will take you to your registrations page. Also remember that if you are an OD subscriber you can download the zip file from your subscriber resources page available at the link at the top of this thread or from WC's homepage

Wow! I don't usually comment on the MyColors themes, but this one is sick! I love the start menu animation and the icons are perfect. You guys have outdone yourselves this year! (But if we could see a coordinated Dream, that would be the icing on the cake!)

According to Impulse, I'm logged in, but I don't see this suite anywhere, and it's certainly not automatically downloading. Is this a issue with Object Desktop subscribes, and only WinCustomize subscribers can access the suite? Whom should I be addressing my inability to access this to?
