i had problems with gadgets,and Music didn´t show in WindowsBlinds..etc .....definitely there is no way to install Music theme without MyColors (thats why the name MyColors Music)....after install Music, go to Theme Manager Directory copy-paste the Music file to desktop and then with 7zip extract to Music folder, and then you have all components extra....hope this helps

"no windows 7 support" makes it sound like skins don't work on Win7. They do work on Win7, and I think the only thing you don't get is the 'colour glow' on taskbar buttons and the expanding start panel for searches. Additional parts like jump list and previews are catered for using Vista elements and tooltip colours. I'd call that 'backward compatibility'. About 98% of the total content of a skin is XP and Vista stuff. And Win7 isn't quite out yet. It has to be remembered that skins take some considerable time to make, so some of the skins you are seeing released now may have been been under development before WB had the additional sections which are specific to Win7.
It's a nice skin though! I'm currently running it on my Win7 box, Vista box and virtualised XP!

Z71. This bug has been fixed and an update will be posted in due course.
It's my fault - that's two skins it's happened in... probably caused by my advanced age: it's my 45th Birthday on Sunday 
Hundreds, no, thousands of apologies.

essorant, happy birthday, d00d! oct 4 is a great day in history.
when i said 'windows 7 support', i didn't mean a subskin for windows 7. i was referring to mycolors not installing on windows 7. sorry if it seemed i was crapping on the skin. i wasn't.

It's pretty sad that we have to install 'MyColors' to use this theme.
It's even more sad when, trying to install 'MyColors' on Windows 7, we get the message, 'this program is not compatible with your operating system'.
Wanna make up your mind one way or the other?
Either give us a .theme file that we can use directly, or fix 'MyColors' so that it works on Win 7.
Is that so hard?

BTW, Tim, Happy Birthday, you whippersnapper!
The skin looks cool, too bad I can't actually use it right now.

Ah. Sorry, I didn't realise that MyColors for Win7 wasn't out yet. I still think of skins from a WB perspective.

Hi Tim,
No disrespect intended for your efforts, I've always been a huge fan of your work (as a matter of fact, my current theme is 'Slow Burn', recolored in blue ).
My argument is for Stardock.
I generally really like their products (or I wouldn't be here at all), but they can be amazingly inconsistent at times, especially when it comes to their non-game efforts.
At this time, they're trumpeting a new subscriber suite, but they don't release that suite in a manner that works for all of their subscribers (in this case, they completely ignore anyone who is using Windows 7, I guess we're second class citizens).
Maybe it's too difficult to get 'MyColors' to work with Windows 7. If that's the case, it seems to me that Stardock should offer a option to download the theme, even if 'MyColors' doesn't work.
Basically, we're being told that we get these wonderful subscriber benefits, but it seems that we only get these benefits if we're using the *right* OS.
That's one of my biggest issues with the whole 'MyColors' idea.
We're in the position of having to download (and install) an entirely new program, just to do what could be more easily done with a .theme file.
'MyColors' might be a good solution for those users who don't already have the other, requisite, Stardock programs. I really don't see the benefit to me, an 'Object Desktop Ultimate' customer, to have to install another program, when the programs I have already purchased can do the same job, if Stardock would provide them in the theme format they designed for this very purpose.
I'm a subscriber. One of the purported benefits of being a subscriber are these various perks, such as this theme. *However*, because I have the temerity to be running Windows 7, I'm deliberately excluded from being able to partake in the subscriber benefits.
Nice to know.
Stardock often goes into 'fund raiser' mode, where they're trying to cajole us into buying a subscription. Maybe they only care about our subscription until we've bought it, after which we can be safely ignored.
We're told that we get these 'benefits' by being a subscriber. If we're using Win 7, well, then we don't actually get that benefit.
There is nothing about this suite that *requires* 'MyColors'. All of the individual skins work just fine with the other Stardock programs that they apply to.
If these kind of things *really* are subscriber perks, they should be available for, and work for, *every* subscriber.

Yes..I do,but but you have to use winrar, to obtain them.Go to your theme manager folder that has all your themes,shared folders or users, and right click on the music file and add to music rar.then you drag it out to your desktop,click on it, and you should be able to see all the parts of the theme.

Well lets be honest here, Windows 7 is not generally released. We have plenty of plans for Windows 7, and much of our sofware (and games) works fine on Win7. Patience is key here.
