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.

Just received my email from Stardock, and it showed up through Impulse in My Desktop as a My Color theme that was available to download. Downloaded with no problems.
Thanks very much Stardock.

The BOO animation is great and very surprising
Which is topped by the Skeleton

*Heavy sigh* I think it might be time for me to see what's left in the liquor cabinet. This has not been a good month for me, and cupboards have been going bare. This theme was going to pick me up out of my blues, but alas...the fates persist in oppressing me.

No start menu animation here either, have tried both MyColors and WC subby themes. When open WB in SkinStudio the start animation is there in builder. I have rebooted, applied skin multiple times, applying other skins then back, but alas still no start animation. Even tweaked the frame rate of animation, too see if an edit to skin would make it work, saved and applied, still not there.
Just applied Outer Limits to see if still have start animation with it and I do.
XP SP3
WB version 6.3 (build 67 x86)

That's so scary I peed my kilt.
Seriously, really well done! Everything works like a charm for me so far.
And the smell of warm, wet wool, I mean what more can you ask for anyway?

The start menu animations for XP need an updated version of WindowBlinds. That version is being tested and I will give an update when info is available. We didn't want to hold up the release since Halloween is closing in.
