and much of our sofware (and games) works fine on Win7
But that's my exact point. All (or at least most) of the skins in the subscriber theme would work, if it wasn't wrapped in MyColors.

I really don't see why it can't also be provided as a theme.

I don't have any problem waiting for this stuff to come out in it's own time, that's the nature of the product. It just seems lame to me that something that would work fine is wrapped in something that doesn't work.

I do realize that it's released as a MyColors theme, but a subscriber perk shouldn't exclude some subscribers, just because it isn't *ready*.

For those who think Object Desktop is a ripoff, know this, Its worth every penny, and if you add the amount of themes you get on a yearly basis it seems like those themes pay for the subscription themselves. Stardock continues to give us quality themes that make our computing lives much funner to live.

Nobody said it's a rip-off. They just want to be able to use the themes without having to install MyColors.

Oh my, Jason. Did a bit of criticism of Stardock make your brain hurt?

I've been a member of this site at least twice as long as you have, and additionally, have been an Object Desktop subscriber since 2001, and have no immediate intention of not subscribing for the forseeable future.

As long as I'm a member of this community, I'm going to feel perfectly free to provide what I believe to be legitimate criticism of the practices that I disagree with.

Stardock is equally free to consider or disregard my criticism, as they see fit. I'm not going to throw them under the bus if they disagree with me, but I have also found that Stardock is generally pretty good at adapting to valid critiques of their practices. I don't always agree with the decisions that they make, but I can generally go along with their reasons (for the most part).

In this particular case, I believe that wrapping an OD subscriber theme in MyColors is unnecessary, since an OD subscriber would already have all of the software required to use the theme, by default, making MyColors redundant, and in this particular instance, part of the problem.

Object Desktop subscribers will be getting access to a .suite file shortly, so they won't have to worry about MyColors.

As long as the theme is not licensed we have been providing a .suite file as well for OD subscribers, just as we intend to do here.

Just so everyone knows- in the future, they will be delivered ONLY as .suite files since MyColors is unnecessary (an a lot of times not wanted) by OD subscribers.

We will also be building up the Premium Suite store again.  Lots of changes for OD 2010!
