Thanks, that seemed to work.

Where do I get impulse? Stardock doesn't support this anymore, right? I can't find it anywhere.

I inadvertently uninstalled the impulse client before uninstalling object desktop. Now when I try to uninstall object desktop, it complains that it doesn't have the impulse client it needs in order to do the uninstall. What on earth do I do about this?

I'd like to get the background color of these dialogs to be something not - white - dark grey or black like everything else on this theme that I'm working on. If that's not possible, is it possible to make only the text for these dialogs black? I have the background for the similar looking windows in explorer working properly - they are grey. (However, they are only grey when windows is in

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="8" id="2753002"] can I install the software on 2 computers? Yes, as long as only one computer is in use at a time. [/quote] Thanks, I guess I could buy the whole object desktop package and then a license for window blinds for the obs computer, that way I wouldn't have to worry about it. That would work right? (Don't want to spend money I don't need to spend, but I also don't want to cheat the fine people at Stardock.)

OK, dang, one last question before I hit "buy" - can I install the software on 2 computers? I want to develop the theme on my big beefy desktop PC, but actually deploy it out in the observatory. I don't really need to modify the theme on my desktop - it's just way more comfortable to work in my office on this than outside, in the observatory dome! Thanks and sorry in advance if this is a silly question.

OK I tried editing a different theme - corporate or diamonds. There are a TON more options available, it looks like I ought to be able to do what I want to do, at least once I figure this thing out. What I was assuming - incorrectly I think - is that the themes that aren't UIS0 themes - i.e. not "aero" themes - wouldn't use the DWM in Win 7. However, just looking at it quickly at the output from both FRAPS and an instrumented display driver that DWM is alive and well under the a

Yeah, I tried skin studio - it will let me change the start menu frame and background, but not the area where the menu lies - for example the "all programs" menu doesn't seem changeable. For the non-aero themes I can apparently change everything. But I need an aero theme. Are there limitations on what window blinds / skin studio can change on aero themes? Because there are far fewer options offered on the aero themes.

Before buying the package, since a demo is offered, I thought I'd try it out to see if it will do what I need. What I need to happen: Needs to operate under windows 7 32 bit with aero enabled A high contrast type theme, like the "high constrast" themes under the windows 7 control panel I need to customize the theme for black backgrounds on the menu bars, window backgrounds, everything, with red text. Specifically I need things like internet explorer
