One button to change the look ..it's made for you ..buy it. :)

I have the 3 free ones and have brought 3 as well so yes I think it's a good addition to the range of programs I have.

Not on 64 bit but works fine for me on both XP and Vista home.

It is theme by theme. If you are an Object Desktop subscriber there is a discount, which varies by theme.

gave mycolours a try and for some reason it has only partially applied ie. icons and wallpaper have applied but not the rest of it, eg wbs will not work with it, any suggestions.

Which one did you try was it Think Green by any chance if it was try one of the other 2 free ones. Diamond or Quest.

If you're trying to load it under a Limited Logon, try loading one under an Administrative logon and see if it works.

Also, you should see the new MyColors WB themes listed in your regular WB Configuration window, try loading one of the new WB's from there.

Since ODNT members get a discount, it works well and the quality is top notch,I'd say yes.
They add more themes all the time so there's sure to be something for everyone's tastes.
One purchase,one click,your done.They made it all easy except coming up with the $$$. ;)

WindowBlinds already does that....and you can make additional extras since the files aren't encrypted. ;) The only drawback to not having MyColors is you won't get any of the newer skins that come out.

have tried it, not impressed. the clock dont work on quest and you have to apply packages from wb and ip, so its not one click but many.

Many of the folks here have a long relationship with Stardock and their products.  And they've stuck around because of the high quality of the products and support.

Look at Impulse for example; it's had significant growing pains but the developers have been on these forums, in email and in IRC busting their asses to fix problems.  many of the suggestions or their other apps made by the community have been incorporated into the app feature sets.  We are also the people who report teh bugs.  And then follow up to see status.  The relationship has become very symbiotic.

In your case, the PC you use has a long history of problems with Stardock products.  It's a known issue.  The fact that the community and Stardock have been there to help you is a testament to what we have built here.

Your current problem is unique (again).  MyColors should work as designed and does for most people.  You are an exception.  :)

If you post your WB system info and you MyColors system info we can try to figure everything out and get you running as designed.  Make sure you are runnign the latest Impulse (which will get you the latest MyColors and Windowblinds).
