MyColors x64/Alienware Vista theme... now what?

July 15, 2008 9:53:45 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
So mycolors is finally 64 bit compatable... but the Alienware installer is not. So what do I need to do in order to get this free theme up and running. From the very beginning I've been willing to pay to get this working and I still am, I just don't like to waste money on programs I don't need. So, if I purchased mycolors would that then allow me to somehow extract the vista theme from the alienware installer? Is there an alternate download somewhere of just the mycolor theme with out the self extractor? I've been waiting so long and I'm so close! I just don't know where to go from here.

Have you read this thread?WWW LinkIf you follow Darkens instructions,you should be able to extract the WB and IP for use without using the installer.It worked great for me.Good Luck.
P.S.The Invader WMP can be dl'd from TSF's website.

It says the full object desktop is required. Is this in addition to purchasing MyColors? I've extracted the files without either installed and haven't found any "invader.mycolors" but perhaps this is because I am missing the programs?

I think you may need WindowBlinds and IP to use the components.If not,someone will correct me.
MyColors is a theme manager to apply them,each MC theme has the software with it. I don't know about the Alienware suite.
I'm sorry I overlooked mentioning that in the first place.

You can use that method to get the .Mycolors theme, once you get it place the .MyColors theme in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\ThemeManager folder.

Ok guys, I bought Object Desktop, extracted the Alienware theme and applied through MyColors. Problem is after the initial loading everything reverts back to windows classic. I can still see the custom start buttons but none of the task bars, window, tabs or backgrounds. This is a on a brand new install of vista with nothing other than device drivers to screw Blinds up. What the hell is going on :?

No I'm not running nView, and none of the Mycolors or WindowsBlinds themes are working. This is a freshly reformatted computer with no other programs or security software installed to interfere with WB.

Okay.. So I've downloaded MyColors for my HP 110 mini and I click the 'apply' button to try to change my wallpaper, and it doesn't work. Neither does the scheme part... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEEEE! I've had it for a week and I'm ready to throw it against a wall & beat it with a hammer. I also no longer have the 'set as desktop background' option when I right-click saved pictures, or pictures on the internet anymore.

 

I'M BEGGING YOU, HELP ME PLEASE.

E-mail me at xopoetically_patheticxo@hotmail.com
