2 themes in mycolors at one time

from Stardock Forums

I downloaded the alienware alienGUIse from alienware and installed it. I then wanted to get the free think green theme but when I installed it from stardock's site it deleted my alien theme. It seems eich of the free themes come bundled with the actual my colors program. So how do I just have both themes in one mycolors program without having to have mycolors installed twice in different locations. I'm running Vista32 by the way. Thank you in advance for any help. Kyle.

I got 6 Mycolorsw installed

went and downloaded/installed AlienGuise

 

Nothing happened as far as conflict

not all the alien themes installed

so i extracted the exe and installed the missing suites

 

alienguise wouldn't uninstall - so i deleted it, but everything still shows up in theme manager

 

Some of the Alienguise is pre Mycolors - alienguise was an oem version of thememanager with relevent oem windowblinds etc

MyColors is newer

 

try installing alienguise again

or extract and just install the suites inside

I am having a similar issue. I installed the Mycolors with the Think Green theme, which worked fine. I installed the Alien GUI (Alien  Invader) and both showed up, but not at first, it was only after I applied my first update to My Colors that they did. So then I tried to install the other free themes. But every other theme I install erases the others. Sort of. No I only have Windows Vista Aero as being listed in there. I looked through the files and notice the folders for the other themes still located in the right spot, but they are empty. All except for the Alien GUI (Alien Invader) and Think Green. But both of those still do not show up in the My Colors or the Theme Manager.

This is very depressing. It almost makes having Mycolors pointless. I would hate to go through the process of uninstalling it every time and reinstalling it with a new theme just to changes between the themes. But that seems to be the only way to get each theme to work or at least stay in there.

I think that I am just going to uninstall this until someone finds a fix for this and post it. I'll stick with just having Blinds installed. At least with it I am able to have multiple themes.
