I'm having a similar problem here. I am able to recolor the icons in the Preview Tab, and get them exactly to my liking but when I go to apply it, it for some reason or another will not change anything and just keep the icons at the status quo. Ditto for the filters: I'm able to change the filter effects in the Preview Tab but again after I Apply Changes, it doesn't do anything. Don't know if it has anything to do with the fact I am running XP or not, as it seems most of the people here do not appear to be experiencing this same problem, so I can only assume that the difference is they are probably running Vista. Dunno. Also, I have 2 gigs of RAM and a 512 meg video card, so I should definitely have enough system resources. Perhaps somebody from Stardock has something they can offer? Something I can try or what have you? .-= The Reaper Man =-.

Suits this (50) 4 year old just fine... not just the 'pre-school' UI , but the great changes/improvements under the hood. For old farts like me (fossils who never saw a calculator at school, much less a computer), it's a blessing to have 'fogey' friendly software that's easy to use

I particularly like the new 'easier-to-use' PackageBuilder, it saves packages more efficiently and is much friendlier to less (skinning) savvy users than previous incarnations. I always had issues with saving packages in prior editions...I had ideas on the package structure but IP 2 and 3 most often saw it differently to me.

I also like the intergated drag and drop function when right clicking to change icons for known file types... however, I would also like to see this include program exe files so IP changes various desktop shortcuts at the same time as shell icons. Being able to include desktop shortcuts directly in PackageBuilder would also be a fantastic & welcome addition.

Hello, I also am now having the problem where IP 4 is not recoloring the icons. It was working last night.....but not this morning. The light to dark feature works. I have XP Home with SP2. Any help would be appreciated.

There was an update when you was sleeping ...       

Hello neophil78, I opened SDC and it shows an update date of 5/15/08 with version 4.00.163 for IP 4. That's the latest I am showing in my SDC for me this morning.

really not happy with SD at this point The serial number you entered is invalid.

Are you using the ODNT serial?

What about the message that states error auto archiving IP 4. C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\install\jp4.xml 0 (file not found) Auto Archive failed (13) On another note, still having issues with the last update of WB6. When 1st updated, wb will noto pen. Then either reboot, redo wb or uninstall and reinstall wb, all of my blinds/skins are gone.

It reminds me when SDC borned in state to replace Component Manager ...       

it was fairly a same melting failures all over ...   

I couldn't get 3.99 to color change, 4.0 seems the same way.It creates a sub folder with them recolored in public documents/stardock/IP/package name/colored, but will not apply them or the filter.Any ideas?

+1

I think I recall somewhere that some serial numbers changed... if you are having difficulties registering products, you can get an updated list via SDC> tools> look up serial number. Your current serial no's should then arrive via the email account you registered with.

Hope this helps.

Had to go back to 3.99.149 as some icons within the system; mainly MS Office icons, IE on the menu and various others FF2, HP update, CursorXP reverted to the default icon in the MyColors package. I was unable to change them, or get a change to stick and I have grown accustomed to them over the years. Running XP Pro SP3.

Excellent update!
