I enjoy the suites I have with MyColors. I just don't think with all there terminology you should have to re-boot windows to change a skin. And if I never had system restore I would be Pi$$ed right now! I mean look I lost all my skins! Boot skins Icons And windowblinds if you have this on your PC back up before you uninstall!!!! It even took mt defauld Windows XP theme. I was left with only the grey windows. Like I was looking back at Windows98.

Never did give a link to the new version of MyColors,you said was updated. Talk is cheap. You buy the product and support is nill to non.
dwax: There have been a lot of updates to MyColors. My suggestion would be to redownload the MyColors you have which has an updated ThemeManager. I might also ask why my problem has been ignored?!? I have sent you...Frogboy 3 messages asking for help.I have filled out 3 help tickets to support. And numerous posts on the forum. I don't have the plague,I am a paying customer with Stardock. But can't get no help.
Just out of curiosity I uninstalled MyColors. Guess what happened?!? It took all my windowBlinds folder all my Iconpackager folder. This is a big problem!!
Well re-downloading one of my MyColors suite, and tried it on a PC that WindowsBlinds worked perfect. Guess what!!! Now this one wont change skins unless you re- boot!!! You need to get this problem fixed!!! It's not just my problem I now have two PC's that way!!!
Frogboy said dwax: There have been a lot of updates to MyColors. My suggestion would be to redownload the MyColors you have which has an updated ThemeManager. Where is the link?? I have looked every where and can't find it.
But I would be carefull in buying it!!! If it has not been fixed..... Like I have been asking for the last year, with "NO" responce! You could be in the same situation I am! Any time I want to change a skin I have to re-boot windows. And you can't uninstall MyColors. if you doo, it takes every thing! Icon packager windowblinds All your themes and skins are gone! Been waiting for a fix for ever with no response!
Major Geeks say thats version 5.551 Build 97. Thats newer then I have. And I have OD!
Since I have to re-boot my PC every time I change skins I do it once a week. If they would "FIX" MyColors, or give us the new version ( like they promised ) I wouldn't have this problem.
Whats up with the update on MyColors??!! I try'd to email Treetog= no answer.Said there was going to be an update. Never happened. Talk about being left in the dark!!!
Anyone hear when My Colors is going to be updated to resolve these problems? I seen on the news on WC front page awhile back that it was being updated,but no news since. Still having the same old problems. I would hate to uninstall My Colors,since I have 7 suites that I like and would loose.Maybe Frogboy could give us an update? "Please" <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/BigSmile.gif" borde

Frogboy said: It does work okay if you have Object Desktop and THEN install MyColors. We've gotten that far on it (as you noted, early on, the two didn't get along well at all That don't work for me, I have a real conflict with MyColors and Windowblinds. I hope the new version will address the not loading WB skins without restarting the PC. If you don't restart.... Windowblinds only skins half of what it should.
These are some nice themes. how do you figgure out if you have the latest version of the program MyColors? and there seems to be a problem with compatibility with MyColors and Windowblinds. Since I have had MyColors when you change skins in Windowblinds it wont change until I restart my PC! And then I read that if you uninstall MyColors it will also uninstall Icon Packager, and windowBlinds! <img src="http://image
Ya thats the problem. now I'm in a pickle I have 3 different suites in My Colors and it's corrupting WB
I think I found out what is causing this to happen. I have several skins I bought and are run through Stardock MyColors when I use MyColors it skins every thing and don't have to reboot. I wonder if it is giving Windowblinds a problem. Maybe not compatible??
which skin is that? Fade to Blue
I wouldn't expect receiving much support with an attitude like that. Like that would be the first time that would happen,I have asked here and many times sent a email to support. It's always hurry give us your money, but wait support stand in line.
dWax I would look into upgrading the graphics card a bit more to atleast a x1300 and configuring the wb's you use via wb configuration window instead of display propeties... SGT LOL the Saphire X800 will walk all over the x1300 it will even out do the x1600 and x16
here another good look, nothing better then a good skinning. I thought WB 5.5 was out of beta stage????
My System is Windows XP Build 2600.xpsp_sp2 WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins. (ViewSonic VA1912w SERIES) 1 is attached to RADEON X800 Series Wblind.dll 2007/02/21 16:06:20 Wbsrv.dll 2007/02/07 18:31:19 Wbconfig.exe 2007/02/15 14:35:52 Wbload.exe 2006/03/13 18:54:14 Wbhelp.dll
Look at the top of the forum, it says... Home Stardock Support Object Desktop WindowBlinds. But most it says Support... OH wait...Whats that???
I noticed it is not completely skinning Internet explorer either. did not notice this earlier, since I use FireFox Wish you people woul fix this. I don't want to uninstall and go back to an earlier version! [URL=http://imageshack.us] [/URL]
I don't have to restart.. try going to display properties, then settings, then advanced, and then under general choose apply new display settings without restarting. Thats the way I have it set, but still have the problem. in fact it tries to change the skin but only about half or so is changed. Unless I reboot it wont complete the change. This started when I upgraded to WB 5.5
I seem to be having a problem with WB ver 5.5 When you apply the skin it wont change. unless you restart windows it will stay the old skin. gets old restarting all the time.
