Object Desktop 2008 & mycolors themes

from Stardock Forums
hi
I'm probably going to buy Object Desktop 2008 and i saw the following in the description :

With Object Desktop, users will receive 4 premium MyColors themes through the course of the year plus discounts on all MyColors themes .

those 4 premium themes, do i get to choose them ?
Hope so, if not i don't really see the interest in getting 4 themes that i'll probably never use.

also a related but separate question:
if i buy only a MyColors theme, do i need to have windowblinds, iconpackager or any other stardock program installed or is it standalone ?

Thank you

That is how MyColors works, it comes bundled with the software needed to run all the theme components. MyColors is more geared towards end users who don't care how it works but just want their desktops customized in a prepackaged way, whereas ObjectDesktop is geared towards the power users who want to pick and choose which components they want, the individual skins using each program, and building their own themes.

No, you do not get to choose the 4 premium themes.  The 4 premium themes will be themes created for the Object Desktop Subscriber.  Bebi is correct as in you don't need the individual components to use the mycolors theme.  You just need MyColors 2008 theme manager, which comes with Object Desktop 2008 (and Ultimate).
