MyColors Wallpapers

from WinCustomize Forums
Ok, question. 

Where are the wallpapers located for MyColors themes?  I have the Boston Celtics theme, and the wall is 1920x1200 which is not good for what I run.  I'm running dual monitors with 1680x1050 each, and I just can't get it right with that resolution.  On stretch, the wall looks pixelly, on center, the NBA logo is half on and half off the screen, and on tile, the wall for the left monitor runs onto the right monitor.  Is there any way I can find where it is located so I can modify it?  I understand you don't want these components redistributed, but I payed 15 bucks for this suite, I want my wallpaper usable....

Open the .MyColors with winzip/winrar and extract them manually, I don't know where they are located in XP but in Vista they are located in: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\ThemeManager

You can choose what size wallpaper to use.  In MyColors 2008 thememanager, click on Settings tab, and check "I want to see advanced options when applying suites".

Then when you apply a suite, you'll get a pop up box that lets you choose what wallpaper to apply, what gadgets to apply, etc.

Hope this helps. :)

jpkylegirl, I was aware of this option... the trouble is, my preferred size (1680x1050) is not one of the choices available in the advanced options... so I needed to find where the walls were located and modify one myself. But I'm good now, thanks!
