Burgundy - Free MyColors Theme for Object Desktop Subscribers!

Wooohoooo! Installed, very nice suite.

Man....that sure would look nice with "WindowBlinds!" I'd even pay for it! :NOTSURE:

Lovely, thank you, added bonus, I was all ready to pay for this theme too. 2 little questions: Is it possible to get Docks for MyColors themes? Is it possible to get Vista Sidebar gadgets as well as widgets?

Question- I have yet to download My Colors. On Impulse it shows as 'Free Version Available'. I am not clear on whether as an OD subscriber I get My Colors for free or if I have to pay for it. I believe I have the OD Ultimate package. I don't have a problem if it's extra, I just wanted to know before I downloaded it.

Hi Po' have all the free ones this being the 4th just need to download it and it is all the Mycolors you need to run it. Think I have 8 or 9 Mycolors now I find them good and easy for quick change of desktop Another nice theme by the way Thanks,

Po' Smedley I downloaded it and have OD ultimate also. Works fine and I do believe you get it as part of Ultimate.   

G4E....unless the creator of the MyColors theme creates docks for it....the answer would be no. Can't create docks from encrypted skins. I'd love to be able to but unfortunately it doesn't seem as though that's gonna happen.

Po'....The free version is free as an OD subscriber. I tried it this morning....but wasn't to happy with it. I loaded the "Think Green" theme and got this...even after numerous rebootings.



And somewhere along the line...either before or after uninstalling MyColors...it uninstalled WindowBlinds and I had to reinstall it. It also disabled my cursor and I had to reapply that as well.

Personally, I'm very disappointed that all these great looking themes coming out now are just for MyColors and not WindowBlinds as well. Its also going to put an end to creating docks.

Its Free to anybody Po. Download away.

No Problems Po' Smedly you can just download and install the free one from there it is the same program no matter.

In My Colors WebGizmos you can not change your explorer icons. So you will have to change your settings in WB Config to use the theme or that is default explorer icons which comes with said WB. That should fix your image problem. Sorry about that - but it goes along with the encryption method being used. The themes are those of Stardock and can only be changed by them. As seen in the copyright statements.

Try that and it should be fine.

As for the images you need you need to contact Karma Girl and see what she says about releasing them to you for such.

Thanks Shelby for letting me know. So much for customizing and creating docks. :NOTSURE:
And maybe you can tell me why it uninstalled windowblinds as well.

I updated my post WebGizmos - be patient and contact her she will work things out for you.

Yeah....tried that some time ago.....never heard anything back.

I'm with WG. I don't want to install MyColors because I like WB. And I'm afeared to do it because I don't want it corrupting my WB install, like WG posted about. Oh, well. I'll stick with WB.

With WG And munkeh on this one too. Looks good, just not interested in installing mycolors. Cant you lot be less stubborn and release the WB? Like WG said, ill even pay for it. Did the dane create this? Looks flippin awesome.

very nice suite.

This all very sad. I have installed My Colors with Impulse from a long time now. With all kinds of themes and stuff that is free. Plus what I have paid for too boot.
My Colors is a good program as is Impulse. I have no problems using it and do recommend it for any member or newbie. Sure there may be some problem related to your system. Not the program itself and if you have a problem - please let us know and we will try our best to work things out.
But as I say " There is nothing wrong with the program itself and it will not uninstall wb!"
Webgizmos has a problem with his machine and we hope to get things resolved soon.

I personally just hate the MyColors system, and above all if all MyColors theme (even free) have WindowBlinds encrypted images, whatever quality are the skins, I just don't care because i can't do ports for my own use (and/or for others ...) and Stardock can keep them ...

Two monthes ago i bought Camouflage: Stardock said there will be an un-crypted version of it as a .suite. We're still waiting, and i'm pretty sure we will wait much more longer ...

Though if you add that to how things are turning with Impulse which i may use for a little % of it's possibilities (when it will be working correctly ...) because i just don't care of others, and that on the part i'm interested in, the new software versions are very unsatisfying me, ex:
- IconPackager V4 is perhaps according better with the new UI of Stardock's, but it has less possibilities than the V3 version according to recolor exactly the way i want any package and save it as a new one),
- Soundpackager is breaking all system sounds if you have the bad idea to uninstall it,
- CursorFX format can't be renamed as .zip and be open in way to edit cursors easyly,
- No more able to choose exactly where i want things on my HD (and surely not in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\ folder (for a part of them because Stardock's stuff is everywhere over the disk ...) and so on ...
though i just really wonder if i'll renew my ODNT subscription i get since years and years ...

Yep, i already can see some of you, coming around to tell me things are in evolution and will be fixed (perhaps) a day, but i'm pretty sure quiet a lot of "old" buddy's over here are feeling i bit like i do ...

I actually decided to try out the MyColors themes finally, even though I was hesitant at first, I actually installed and applied all 4 free themes last night without any problems. I found that whether applying them with MyColors or ThemeManager they all seemed to work fine either way. This new Burgundy theme is definitely the best looking of the 4 free ones so far.

There's a bug in the Vista version. If you dock the taskbar to the top of the screen, every time you click the start button it opens the user account control panel applet. I'm starting to think I'm the only person that puts the taskbar at the top anymore

I tend to agree with some of the others in that I don't care to install MyColors. I understand that it probably works very well and there are few problems with it. But, as a long time user of WindowBlinds and the other applications by Stardock I'm more pleased with not having to install yet another 'theme manager' like program.

MyColors is a great way to get new users to easily apply themes and change thier UIs. The encryption is also a useful and effetive way to keep Stardock designs from being pirated. Please, just keep in mind Stardock that not everyone is going to want MyColors and I hope that not everything from 'Stardock Designs' will be coming out for it only. So far it hasn't, lets keep it that way

Hello, I downloaded the new Gloss Burgundy theme. Awesome!! I am somewhat hesitant about downloading Impluse so I downloaded My Colors to get this theme. I am NOT HAPPY that My Colors downloaded all my personal photos from my pictures and put them into the My Colors wallpaper. How can I delete all of my personal photos from the My Colors wallpaper? Is there any way to use the Gloss Burgundy theme WITHOUT My Colors or Impulse? I have theme manager but can't figure out how to add it. Thank you.

... and in same time, it's also a perfect way to keep Stardock's old skinners (i mean those who do ports) far away to do what they used to ...   

If pirates want the designs, they'll get them a way or another, they know how to do, or if they don't know yet, there will be not much time for them to know   

Four years from now when a new windows operating system comes out, these new skins may not look right when applied and I won't be able to update them as I'm doing now with the old XP skins. Having to think about it now, the investment leaves the future dark to me. Those comments make me think about it much deeper. Unless I really and extremely LOVE a suite, I won't buy anymore encrypted suite. But if a nice skin comes from a special skinner I admire, I'd just buy it. I have duplicated Star Wars windowblinds made by the skin factory in the past from scratch, but I won't be doing that anymore.

Very nice. Good work guys. And the icons are for Vista too.
