From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

As part of our ongoing effort to give subscribers more bang for their buck, we added professional skins to the subscription package earlier this year.  To start things off we released Stardust, a new skin by Adni18.  Today we're ready to release another skin, and give you a hint of what's next in the pipeline.

Our second Subscriber-Only skin is Rockstar by community veteran Hippy!

Rockstar turns your desktop into concert stage with the look and feel of classic guitars, speakers and amps.  Rockstar comes with 6 great substyles, letting you pick exactly the kind of amp you want.  It's the perfect skin for music enthusiasts, especially the rockers out there.

If you're already a subscriber, you can get the skin HERE.

If you're not a subscriber, then you had better sign up RIGHT NOW!

Our next Subscriber skin is going to be Boulder from MikeB!  A great skin that will give your desktop a clean, chiseled look.  Expect some teaser previews of the skin soon!

Stay tuned for news on MyColors and the full Rockstar Suite later today!

Now that's more like it

I was going through some heart-attack

I've always wanted to support Pixelpirate again right after I've seen the RockStar Iconpackager screenshot, I was expected the usual price though the IconPackager is PRICELESS.

I purchased the mycolors Rock Star theme my question is about the Gadgets, i was told there would be a Media Player Gadget but in my Download that is not there only the Weather and Clock Gadget how do i get the Media Player Gadget.

Where was there mention of a media player gadget?  I don't believe there is one so I'll need to track down anywhere it says there is one.

We're looking into it now.

Since there's proof of a media player being mentioned, I guess they will be making a high end one and release it in the next 24 hours

I would not bet on that but time will tell.

But you do wonder how you can make a Rockstar Suite and not make one as part of it.

Nice WindowBlind, parts of it are not exactly 'my cup of tea' but good details and such

Nice icons but this wouldn't last 5 min on my rig, its just way too much. As an aside, I'd really love to see Stardock clarify their stance on reusing and updating content in Premium and MyColors themes. If I had spent money on the Spring theme I would have pretty pissed when "Think Green" came out for free this week. Similarly, Khado and Caracal look nice, but having paid for those skins back when they were part of the Essorant Skin Pack 2 (5 skins for $10), I can't justify spending $10 per skin now (I'm an OD subscriber, I might consider upgrading to these skins at a reduced cost if that was an option). I'm starting to get turned off from Premium content the way I got turned off from buying DVDs. It really pissed me off when the super, delux directors cut came out a month after buying a DVD and I had to re-buy 100% of my content to get 10% new features. I'd love to see some MyColors content more like Liquidox, and Stardock did upgrade me to that from my premium suite, but I don't know why for that one and not the others.

"Think Green", Will it be released for owners of OD, and OD Ultimate because we were promised free suites. Will this be one of them?
on Jul 11, 2008

I think Think green is going to be a free theme entirely.

We have some cool MyColors suites in the works for ODNT users but they would come out FIRST for ODNT users.

Think Green is a derivative of Spring and the icons are limited in numbers since it's been made free. Think Green only contains around 50 icons, while Spring is around 150. Consider it a preview of Spring and other suites like it that might see the day in other seasons of the year...

There are graphics 'somewhere' for it. I suspect it may have been put in the wrong place somewhere and missed when the files were all being collected together.

Thanks for the input Hippy look forward to seeing it sometime then, Just in passing I got the Mycolors and just found out by chance that there are 3 wallpapers for it.
