MyColors 2.5 Support Thread

With the release of MyColors 2.5 please place all community support items in this thread. This means if you have found a workaround for a problem or want to see if the community has found a solution to your problem please post here. For individual support issues please contact support@stardock.com.

New Features

  • 64-bit Support! (Vista Only)
  • Sub-Style Support!
  • New Wallpaper Tab!

Known Issues

Gadgets on 64-bit Vista do not launch when applying a theme.  They can be launched manually by running them from the shortcut folder created on the desktop. This should be enhanced in the near future.

WindowBlinds 6.1 customers will need to update their version of WindowBlinds to 6.10.084 before (ideally or after) installing MyColors 2.5.

If you are a new user to ObjectDesktop and have installed WindowBlinds over MyColors (fresh install), you may experience issues with MyColors 2.5.  If so, please uninstall WindowBlinds and re-install WindowBlinds 6.10.084 to resolve the issue.

Not sure what you are after but I can have 3 styles Minimised which you said is wrong, normal which is square or extended by clicking on extras. If you have extended click extras to reduce to standard square. If non of those 3 no idea sorry.

What I have called normal is what I can see in the ads. for it

Hope someone is still watching this

Anytime I launch MyColors, the Windowblinds setting to "Show icon in the system tray for easy access...." gets unchecked.

Is there anyway to stop this behavior? I like to have the WB icon in the systray for easy, well you get the idea.

 

Thanks,

Ok my problem is that I have about 19 themes sitting in My Colors that I can't use, everytime I apply from either My Colors or Windowblinds I end up with fuzzy blocks instead of toolbar icons, I submitted a ticket and recieved two possible soloutions on two seperate occasions, I tried both to no avail, I am getting desperate here, I don't know if they are still working on my problem and I don't want to go the route of money back, cos I want these themes, is there anybody out there that has had the same problem and knows of a way to fix this as I am going mad....please let there be somebody out there, please......

I have a strange problem when I applied the Green theme, when I try to highlight any text on a web page or word document, there is no highlight of the selected text.

 

The text has been selected as such but there is no visual sign to show which part of the text has been hightlighted.

 

I know that I probably didnt explain the situation too well but I would really like some advice on what to do to fix it.

Is My Colors..I am not sure what it's for. If I have WindowBlinds what is the advantage to adding MyColors? I have looked around but can't find info on this. Is it just a way to apply all the themes, icons, sounds, etc. Long as I have those apps installed too?

Diamond Theme Problem

I have a problem with the Diamond theme.  The task bar, minimize, maximize and close buttons are displayed as multi-colored static graphics (there are more buttons that are affected, I just did not list them all).  I have looked in the Diamond directory and most of the bitmaps there are the multi-colored static that I am seeing in place of actual buttons.  This is the file named but_close_UIS1.bmp from the Diamond directory.  This is what I see in place of the Close button in the top right corner of all windows.  For MyColors and themes, I have installed, uninstalled, installed through Impulse, updated my graphics drivers all to no avail.  The Think Green theme works fine, even though I spotted a few multi-color static .bmp files there as well (maybe in time I will come across a static image somewhere in that theme too).  Is there any place that I can get the needed files for the C:\Program Files\Stardock\MyColors\Diamond directory?  This would fix the problem since the program is working correctly; it's just that as it is now, it is GIGO (you give me static colored graphics and that is exactly what the program is displaying).

I wanted to try the free themes out first before plunking down the money for Object Desktop and some themes.  If this is what I have to look forward to then it is money well saved.  It is just that I really wanted this software.  I sure hope someone can come up with a solution.
