MyColors is great!

Wow. I am really impressed with MyColors. I toyed around with desktop customization shareware quite a while ago and it all was useless and not usable in any way. I just got MyColors now because I got that free Sins of a Solar Empire theme and the icon was so big in Impulse ;) It was really a good decision.

Even the free themes look awesome (actually I'm using Diamond right now), it's way better then any similar software I've ever seen for windows. It even comes close to my favorite KDE (Linux) themes ;)

There is only one small improvement I can think of: I am using dual monitors. While the themes do work with dual monitors, they do not really take full advantage of them.

I have difficulties setting background images for my screens and the default one is cut off. Setting background colors for the screens also doesn't work as expected. This might be caused by windows and not by MyColors, I'm not really sure there.

The main problem here is a custom button I get from the nice utility "UltraMon". It adds a small "move to other monitor" button to every window which does exactly that - take the window and instantly put it on the other monitor. It's especially useful to transfer maximized windows.

It would be totally awesome if MyColors had the ability to add a button exactly like that since with the custom button placement MyColors uses, the additional UltraMon button is overlapping with the maximize window button, making it basically unusable.
