Solar Empire desktop

Stardock MyColors has just released 'Solar Empire desktop" based on Galactic Civilizations II Suite previously released. Bryant nailed it again.

Let's hope people who have purchased all the softwares needed to run the suite will have a discount.

Check it out

Looks awesome! I need to try it out...

Also note... that the MyColors themes that you have purchased a while back, if they are back on the "coming soon" list, then it will be ready as soon as we update the suites. The ones in "coming soon" will NOT work with MyColors 2008.

I suggest using MyColors 2008 to apply the SINS MyColors themes, and also, please not that the system requirements state that it works with 32-bit, not 64.

I wasn't trying to use MyColors on 64 bit. I was installing it on a 32 bit system and extracting the theme manually, which I've done for quite a few of them now. This theme actually has the images with that static noise in the .MyColors before I even extract it (I looked on the 32 bit machine to see if it was mucked up). Im starting to think this is some kind of anti piracy counter-measure.

Having problems manually extracting the theme from the .MyColors (I use x64 with wb 6.1) and the WB looks... odd...This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 874x662 and weighs 542k.I checked the images before extracting it for the 2nd time... the images actually look like they do in the preview (so it looks this way when applied). Whats the deal with this? I use x64 and I cannot install MyColors so I am effectly screwed.

The next update to WindowBlinds x64 will address the issue with your skin showing up garbled in WindowBlinds interface.  For now, please use MyColors to apply that skin.  Thanks for your patience.

The next MyColors update will resolve the issue with MyColors telling the user they need to upgrade to WindowBlinds 6.02.

What version of WB are you running?  MyColors are encrypted, so if you are running an older WB, it won't be able to un-encrypt it and it will end up looking like TV static.  If you have a stand alone version of WB, you need to update it as MyColors will not overwrite stand alone installs.

This is actually incorrect.  You require a 64 bit MyColors install rather than any changes to WB.

Was using the latest 6.1 beta, problem was solved by using x86. I guess until x64 issues are worked out im going to wave goodbye to a nice chunk of memory...

Nice theme, I just wish there was a per pixel frame, these shadows do NOT fit the frame at all.
