You'll have to see what the response is. I'm thinking a total of 4 free themes 1 for each flag to whet their appetites. Noone could reasonably complain about a fully functioning free software that started you out that well. Give them something more to play with for free.

It's interesting that by and large the reviews are polarized.... either 'great' or 'crap'.  Next to none say 'it's OK'.

The nay-sayers [not just the supporters] have familiar nicks [to me] - once disgruntled [with Stardock/Wincustomize] always gruntle-less...

I guess, as with most comment/poll opportunities the 'it's OK'-brigade are too ambivalent to bother to comment, whereas the polarized want to be heard....

The installer prompts me to uninstall MyColors instead of just installing the new theme as I currently have MyColors installed with the Qwest theme. Appears that they must work on the installer further.

We ran into that yesterday.  I think it's because the CNet version is trying to install over the installed one instead of recognizing it and just installing the theme.  We're aware of the issue and are looking into it.

 

be nice if I can have quest back as it was before. Once you sorted the problem. thanks.

Hmmm . . looks like the encrypted images.  Did you try to edit in SKS?

no that was after DL from Download.com this is on PC XP. On the lap Vista it wiped quest out of my colours left it showing in WB but crashed the program as soon as selected it so had to remove the Quest folder on the Laptop. On XP the preview shows up as the encrypted images and loads as per screenshot

You can almost bet a nice % of the detractors are and were already Stardock-haters.

Congrats on the feature.   

What version of WB are you using?  I have a feeling that it needs to be ugraded.  MyColors will use WB when installed, but it doesn't see if it is older than what MyColors needs (which is something we are building into it).

Had never looked at System Info before but assume it was ok before DL Diamond Thats on XP not checked Laptop

New Update. uninstall mycolors reboot then re installed via Impluse, closed impluse opened Mycolors and both Quest and Diamond in Mycolors program wanted to update so ran update. Diamond ok Quest WB still no good. Re DL Quest from Stardock site and this time hit yes to uninstall when asked at end of set up uninstall was all it did so ran set up of Quest again and now works fine. Diamond WB still in WindowBlinds and loads ok Wall still there and Icons still in IconPackager and load ok So both load ok, but Diamond not in Mycolors now

Weird. I wonder what exactly is the permutation we need to do to reproduce this.

Thanks RickJP a ton for your help!
