I just noticed something about the new suite delivery system. The graphics are coded. Unless I am missing something, this means we can't use any of the graphics to make widgets and such. I do have Mustang working now, on both my XP PC, and Vista Laptop. But in the blinds folder, the graphics are coded. I was hoping to make a DX Theme, for personal use, of course. Unless I could get permission from Stardock Design to release it. But with coded graphics, I can't make it to begin with. Bummer!

[quote]The X64 version of MyColors will be out soon. VERY soon or you'll be hearing about deaths at Stardock. Purely accidental of course. Heh, glad I added that last part. [/quote] I am running x64 Vista Home Premium and My Colors works fine for me.
[quote]Do tell how you got it working. It installs, but doesn't decrypt any suites for me.[/quote] I don't really know, I just installed Impulse, then My Colors, and all my suites work just fine. I actually have more trouble with My Colors on x32 XP than x64 Vista. This may sound dumb, but you are trying to use MyColors suites, right? The older theme mgr. suites don't work with MyColors. Just checking.
Also, off subject, maybe, I just bought the Mustang suite several days ago and can't use it. It will not activate thru my colors. It is being looked at by someone at Stardock Support, but it is taking time. I may wait a while before buying any more suites so they can work out the bugs. I don't like paying for stuff that I can't use.
My question is this: Will the old suites still work with the old theme manager? Call me a tightwad, but I don't want to pay an extra $4.95 for a theme I already bought for $19.95. I once bought a skin called challenger, and when it was updated, I got the new skin for free. Personally, I think the same should apply here. I will probably just continue to use the old theme manager for older themes. I could be wrong..... (:(
[quote]One problem with this - MyColors does not work on Vista x64, leaving us out in the cold. Any ETA on an x64 version? [/quote] I am running x64 Vista Home Premium and My Colors works fine for me. ;)
Man! That really blows. I hope you do sometime get back. All the awesome work you have done shows a true love of skinning. I will be a shame if you lose the chance to do what you love, peace, man. (:(

[quote]The name of one or two might assist.[/quote] They are Vanilla Dream, Shadows, Olive Drab, and Mint what I said. I did not click show only on my personal page. Hmmm. Is it a rating thing? X-(
I have 4 walls recently uploaded to WC and approved. But I do not see them in newest uploads, wallpaper gallery, or even when I search. They don't even show on my site in recent skins. Does anyone know why? :CONGRAT:
[quote]Please look on the Reply #9. This must help you.[/quote] Did that, fixed it, yipee!!! I have had trouble getting a DX theme (in mod.) passed bcause of this. Bummer.
[quote]I am using windosXP SP2 and the latest DX build from Impulse and from Stardock central, I have tried the "fatal bug" fixer and it didn't help.Please help as my desktop looks bare[/quote] I am running XP SP2 and the fix did work for me, but I had already reformatted my PC because of it...lol. Did you put the .dll file in your plugins folder in stardock central directory? Replace the old one. Worked for me.
None of my meters or weather and calendar widgets work. Help!!!!
[quote]Yeah, Vad_M is synonymous with WOW. But I don't have Vista, so it doesn't work.[/quote] Ahhh, so that's why I can't get it to work...lol.
Can we get a weather widget tutorial? Please??????? (:(
I ended up reinstalling the last full release. OK now.
I have emailed 2 people suggested to me by a moderator and I still get no response!!! When I try to go to my personal site, I am taken to an old site I had under a different email address. It does not show any of my skins, etc. I just uploaded a new skin, and it went to chubbyhusband/wincustomize.com!! It should have gone to PuterDudeJim/wincustomize.com. I really wish someone would fix this. I am going to write Brad about it and see if I get a response. It was either Zubaz, or Zoomba thet
[quote]One think i'd like to be pointed out is if all those programs will have skins stored the same way as WB6 skins in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock or if there will be a possibility to leave them elsewhere (on a second partition for example ... )[/quote] Yes, it would be very nice to be able to store them on a different drive, I have gigs of stardock stuff on my PC. That's why I call it my Stardock Box!
[quote]I question Brad's leadership based on the songs in the IconPackager screenshot.[/quote] ROFLMAO!!!!!! :LOL:
Anyone have any idea how to reach alexandrie?
Help. I just reformatted my PC and now that I have installed Windowblinds, the interface is black and I can't see to read any of the letters on it. Help!!!
