For beeing camouflated it is ...   




What kind of new big joke does Stardock applyed with MyColors ?     
1°) Iconpackages don't go in the path defined with IconPackager   
then, unable to get a correct Wb

What else in future ?

Not all of them did.  There was no "standard" for premium suites.  Now, with MyColors, the base stuff goes into the pack, then all the goodies (if there are any) are given out on WC to "try before you buy" to see if you like the style.  The CursorFX pack for Camo is an example.

What version of WB do you have installed prior to MyColors?  I can assume it is old, since it's not allowing encryption.

What version of IP do you have installed?  I would also assume it is old.

Neophil . . it looks like you are seeing the encrypted images.  Did you try to edit them or run them without installing MyColors?

latest: WB 6.10.081


IP 3.20.163 because IP 4.0.165 don't run the way i want   


Yep all images are encrypted ... It seems i'm not the only one to see just encrypted images, see Webgizmos for example ... (and nope i didn't try to edit them before installing MyColors)

BTW, i don't know what MyColors does with WB but since installing that silly thing everything is much slower on my PC and specially Wb and all kind of displaying Windows

XP SP3 + IE 6 french

Anyway, the problem of MyColors not downloading IP theme in the correct path is exactly the same with latest IP version 4.0.165

I'm just reacting: Why images are encrypted in WB ?   How will it be possible to edit the skin and modify some images ? How will it be possible to do some ports for personal use ???     

Waiting for concrete explanations and solutions ...   

It won't be, and for me personally, that takes away a lot of the fun with customizing my computer. I remember not so long ago we were encouraged to look at the skins made by the best skinners to learn how to make skins and/or to improve our skinning skills. Sadly, those times seems to be over now. I have bought a lot of premium skins/suites but I don't know if I will continue to do so in the future since I won't be able to use the graphics to make my own widgets, Rainlendar, Sysmetrix skins etc.

Any news on the weather widget?

I think i know   

For who Stardock is taking us ??
... and it also gives a new dimension off the new Wincustomize subscription with the 12 free MyColors suites ...   

Just re-download it, thr weather widget is in it   

Well...it will be either by making the graphics themselves available to those of us that create the extras for the skins or by releasing them unencrypted to those of us who still just use WindowBlinds. MyColors I'm sure is a great app...this isn't about that...but I personally seen no need for it since I already have WindowBlinds...plus I simply can't afford to keep updating things. But yeah...it does put a crimp in customizing. (

I think if they feel they need to be encrypted then giving the original graphics to a select few senior members who regularly make skins to go along with released blinds would be a good idea.

Why to a select few senior members ? Anyone who buy the suites may want to do/begin themselves some ports   

BTW, still no reaction from Stardock ...

Saling encrypted things    ... it's just like if you buy a car, then you note the seats, the rear view mirrors, the wheel are fixed down and that you can't access the motor   

I'm just saying if they aren't going to make them accessible to everyone then at least doing that would make it so that people could still end up with skins for the other programs.
