I switch skins fairly often and would like the WB icon available at all times. (That's why I have it set that way in the WB config)


I'll 2nd that and as it takes a reboot to get it back how I like it set up it is a pain.

Additionally to what Zu said: I have come accustomed to use the WB-configuration panel in order to change the wallpaper as well.

It is not a real biggie. As soon as I have applied the MyColors theme for the first time I can use the different programs to apply parts or a complete MyColors theme. It's just that first time (and possibly after each update of the themes) that this becomes a minor nuisance.

I'd like the WB icon to remain in the systray as well - I did find though that a shortcut to wbconfig.exe in my favorite shortcut places works pretty well too (there's a hint buried in there somewhere   ).

A bigger annoyance to me is MyColors unloading DesktopX, plus DTX coming back up without my desktop loaded after re-launching it. Not sure that that's an actual "issue", but I'd sure like it to quit it.



That bothers me too. I think we're talking about the icons themselves here, not the actual gadgets - I'm pretty sure the next poster missunderstood that. They have an annoying tendency to "just keep on coming back".

Nitpicking aside though I do like MyColors, and after all it is designed to be a 1-click theme application. Maybe it needs another settings section for us Object Desktop tweakers?

Think Green does not skin MS Office 2007.

I recently bought/installed Sins of a Solar Empire, and as I was updating from the website, I read about Impulse and decided to give it a whirl. Within impulse, I noticed MyColors, and that I was given the Sins MyColors theme, so decided to install that, too. All worked well with the Sins Theme, and the Think Green theme that also came with MyColors - then I decided to download the other 2 free themes. When I applied the Diamond theme, things started to go awry.

Now, whenever I apply a theme, my desktop (except for the start menu) essentially stops responding, and I am unable to access (or even see) any icons until I log off and back onto my profile. Also, when I apply the default windows XP desktop theme from within MyColors, the majority of the icons stay whatever they were for the original MyColors theme; how, exactly, do I recover my default windows icons?

I'm running a fairly new install of Windows XP SP3, and have not previously installed any customization/skinning software. Any info, advice, etc. would be much appreciated. Thanks!

just to point out that sunny day seems unable to tell the time of day, unlike think green which can..Funny thing is turn on laptop and Think Green has Moon while on PC Think Green has sun.

Stick with the sunshine on PC

Is anyone else having problems with the Diamond theme ? The taskbar and window icons turn to static when I ally this theme. I am using WinXP home.

After last update found XP version WB did not work in MyColors. In WB vista version loads on my XP but XP version nothing happens when try to load it.

Not had problems with icons.

Yep, it for me will not load at all using either MyColors or WB. It shows in WB config as the applied skin but it is not.

XP Home SP3
MyColors and WB both up to date.

Hate to make a "same here" post, but "same here", including Windows version.
