MyColors - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

CRAP

from Stardock Forums

Hello all,

What a piece of crap software. I can't get rid of it even after using Add/Remove and following all the suggestions found in this forum. Thank God I made a Disk Image of my computer before installing "My Problems" which is what it turned out to be since Stardock doesn't seem to have a clue about how to clean the crap off your hard drive.

The Diamond Theme is another bad omen.  It totally wrecked my Windows Taskbar and made it look like colorful snow on a TV set back in the 1950's, a time when color TV probably wasn't even invented yet.

In the meantime, I am looking at half a MyColors / Windows desktop. All the normal Windows icons on my computer have inherited the MyColors theme and even though I used Windows to restore my XP desktop, it can't overide what MyColors did.

That's it, no more Stardock products for me.  See ya!

Hmm, Using Vista Home Premium and MyColors uninstalls easily from Programs and leaves everything as it should, I think XP behaves differently, I remeber using Windows Blinds on a XP install once and it did pretty much the same thing, the way it changes the OS on XP is one that is not easily put back to the pre-install state, but then I think this ws explained in the windows blind install at the time of install.

The Diamond theme has been notoriously problematic for some bizarre reason.  You might try a different free theme.
