Fences, Mycolors and Windows 7 starter...

from Stardock Forums

So, I installed fences because I liked the idea of having all of my icons be able to dissapear. Then, I learned that I couldnt change my background in windows 7 starter on my netbook, so I installed Mycolors hoping that would take care of the problem, now, the theme will change, but the background stays the same as the original windows 7 background and I cant change it through mycolors. Is this a conflict between these programs?

I think it has to do limitation of Windows 7 starter.  You might want to check that out first.

I did, I've used another program that allowed me to change the background before, but when I used fences with that program, the background   would dissapear... It was called oceanis background changer... Also, other people that have mycolors installed can change their background no problem on their netbook.

You need Theme manager to change the backgrounds on Windows 7 Starter. Hint : Add C:\Windows to the wallpaper directory for all the wallpapers from all international versions of Windows :)

Currently this is only possible with OEM versions of MyColors that are factory loaded onto machines.
