windowblinds won't load
Monday, December 22, 2008 by beachbummer | Discussion: MyColors
Good day all
I have just installed and registered My Colors. When I applied the Diamond theme windowblinds wouldn't load - wallpaper and icons etc were ok. Same with other skins. Do I have to uninstall the old Theme Manager? I rebooted and it still wouldn't load. Any suggestions?

I am applying each theme of the queued themes as they finish - they will apply clock & weather widgets, walls & icon packages - but windowblinds has gone to XP theme and doesn't change. I'm using XP home & wb6.

All though MyColors whould install all the skins in the themes you might want to open up WB and see if you find the WB for Diamond. Go to the System Info tab and copy and past it here. Do you have the new Theme Manager 3.0 downloaded?
Trying to remember if there was a compatibality problem with older versions of WB and MyColors. I think there was.

Thanks for the time Philly0381
I just tried to change my blind to Gaiety but it wouldn't change. I then turned pc off/on and Gaiety applied on reboot. I opened MyColors and applied Omega - all systems go! Same for Gloss Burgundy, Quest etc. Tried to apply Diamond - it didn't revert to XP but it didn't change the blind. All others did fine though. Theme Manager is 3.00.057. Windowblinds is 6.30.104.
Firefox won't allow copy & paste (without cahnging some stuff anyway) but it appears to be only Diamond is the problem. Could I uninstall Diamond from MyColors & windowblinds & re-install?

Are you having problems with just Diamond or other MyColor Themes?
No you don't have to uninstall the old Theme Manager.
