^^ I'm not using MyColors so can't help much. But take a look into MyColors settings, may be you find an option to add new themes or try to double-clicking on the theme file.

Thanks Daniel, but I do use XP SP3 Pro!

I have actually given up on themes after varying degrees of tough times with XPize, Vista Inspirat, Aston, Allienware Xenomorph, Sony Hyperdesk etc.

After SP3, most of the older stuff would'nt run even after patching the dll's. But I tried MyColors on VG's recommendation, and the lustre on Stardocks site. Will say it is as good as most of the stuff above, if not better, but... !

So guys any suggestions before I let go and return to skinning old style!

Come on VG I see a lot of other themes in your screenshot, unless its just not yours !

Regards,
MFK.

I dont use this, decided to stick with Windowblinds. But WindwoBlinds stores profiles in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock on my computer [Vista] and IconPackager also stores themes here.

Sometimes though it's in the ProgramData folder, if you are using Vista. For XP, i can't remember [already loosing knowledge of the OS I used for 6 years haha!]. So check C:\ProgramData\Stardock too.

Sorry if you're using XP!

Dear Vishal,

I got two more MyColors theme apart from the Think Green theme.

I downloaded Diamond and Quest.

I got KapsulOS and Glass Burgandy as .rar package. Now how can I apply these themes. Copying the extracted folders into C:\Program Files\Stardock\MyColors does not work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Regards,
MFK.

Ah thanks... I might have to give this a go then; Windowblinds 6 has issues on Vista when you use QTTabBar [for me anyway]... so i chose to drop WB6 for it

Thanks VG

^^ Its similar to WindowBlinds but not as much functional as WindowBlinds is. You can think it as a reduced version of WindowBlinds.

Could anybody tell me what, exactly, is the difference [technically and otherwise] between MyColours and Windowblinds? They both seem to do the same thing from the screenies...

Ticked "Notify me of followup comments via e-mail" incase anyone answers. Good find VG, once again... Thanks [in advance]!
