When is this going to be available for everyone else?
Sorry, but I hope never. Subscribing should have it's own benefits.  I'm fairly OK if it's repackaged with different elements . . but I belong to a members club at a winery.  I like pouring a glass of a barrel reserve to guests and having them love it and ask where they can get it.  I tell them "oh . .so sorry . .you can't.  It's for members only."

"But . .you could join the club and get this plus that and also this"

I really dig being special sometimes.

I just checked and so far the my colors themes are still not available in ZIP format, still wants to me download my colors.


Let me repeat myself a bit...


At this time only the subscriber theme "Gloss Burgundy" is being released unencrypted to members only. No other My Colors themes are planned to be released as unencrypted softwares.
Thus all you will see in your registration email is an additional link for a download of "Gloss Burgundy". There are two links - 1. is a My Colors download, 2. is a extras zip file download.


If for some reason you did not receive your link for the "Gloss Burgundy" zip file. Please contact sales@stardock.com and they will get you fixed up Monday morning when they return to work.


And as Zubaz has pointed out this is a members only theme for people who have purchased Object Desktop. Which can be purchased at this link

You sure? I've got a un-encrypted copy of Pirate here, which is the only other theme I was able to download via ZIP.

This is a policy that is in the process of changing.

A little background first:

When we launched MyColors, the initial content came via licensed properties (NBA, NHL, NCAA, etc.) so we had to encrypt them to satisfy the IP holders. At the time, it was quicker to simply have MyColors only support this one format.

We've been working on making it so that MyColors themes can support unencrypted content as well but that's taking longer. So the plan going forward is to simply provide a ZIP file as part of your email (i.e. enter your email into the support.stardock.com website and it'll email you links to ZIP files as well as the MyColors themes).

Anyway, the intent with the encryption wasn't to prevent people from making ports but to protect licensed IP. But a lot of our best stuff is stuff we came up with and hence we can distribute however we choose.



Ok with this quote here from Brads initial statement to the fact. It would seem that a lot of the My Colors themes are to be unencrypted soon. Which ones and when I'm not sure of except for this subscriber theme at this time. You may have gotten another which is planned to be released unencrypted. But I figure there is a lot of work to have all the themes released via email registrations done in one day. Given time there is going to be more I'm sure of it. We just need to be patient and see which one will be released as soon as possible.



kwyjibo just turn the blurring off in wb config for the task bar and all will be fine.

Both links sent to me lead to the extras zip.

Why not just be happy that they have at least started the process of giving you what you wanted and give them some time to get the rest in place?

Only the new subscriber skin is all that will be released at this time unencrypted. You should submit your email at the support link here WWW Link

Actually, we are in the process of adding all non-IP related zip files.  They will be available for the subscriber discount downloads only.  As of Friday, we were verifying the contents of the zip files and pulling the part numbers that they are associated with.  So, it should be very soon that those zip files will be available.

For the Gloss Burgundy theme, it will be for sale at some point.  It is part of a 15 color variation project.  They will be sold in 3 packs.  The other 2 of the three pack that includes Gloss Burgundy will also be free to OD subscribers, and that will be in ADDITION to the other 3 themes that will be provided with the subscription.  Each theme has the color variation of the skin, icons, gadgets and abstract wall as well as a unique Vlad wall that matches the theme.

You will almost always see the WC and OD content also for sale, but you will never see the OD and WC content use the same elements.

Is the "Think Green" skin going to be added to the list?

And I'll be starting on some docks for the Burgundy skin!

For anyone having trouble with the widgets, try http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/install_weather.bat (running as admin if in Vista) and report back.

It should resolve any issues.
