Beef with MyColors

I recently purchased both Quest and Skeech as I am a fan of Essorants skins. I am finding that the windowblinds graphics are scrambled, I guess as a kind of DRM. The problem is, that I like to tweak skins for my own use and taste and I am frustrated that I can't. This will prevent me from purchasing any more themes

Maybe the new version is different, but if you apply it, then it creates a directory with the "real" skin in it. I used this method to make the University of Florida theme into a normal Windowblind.

I'm right there with ya. I like to tweak the blinds myself. Some of the Vista images aren't done and some haven't learned how to move some images in the Start Menu, yet.

I know the images are for security or theft reasons.
It's still a new product, so time will tell if this will be looked at.

Also, I haven't tried it yet, but I'm curious if the WBs will work without My Colors installed?
If they don't, I'll leave that for another day......

Protecting skins from theft is a reality. So many times in the past suites or skins have been released only to appear out in the wild a short time later. I think it's a good thing that there is now a way to protect authors' copyrights and protect a company's financial investment.

There are some disadvantages though, as you have seen, but it is a positive step forward.
