Stardock has released MyColors 2.5 today. MyColors is a software program that includes everything you need to change everything about your Windows experience. MyColors changes your Windows visual style, icons, wallpaper, and even adds gadgets to your desktop. These gadgets can range from media players to weather forecast gadgets depending on the theme.  It doesn't modify any system files and enables users to easily switch between themes and back to default Windows with just a few clicks.

MyColors 2.5 now comes with the ability to have themes with sub-styles.  This will allow you choose variations of a specific theme to let your further customize your desktop experience .  A new "Wallpapers" tab has been introduced that allows users to choose and switch between different wallpapers in the selected theme. The biggest announcement with MyColors 2.5, however, is the fact that it is now compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit.

To help kick off the release of MyColors 2.5, Stardock is including the new "Think Green" MyColors theme.  This theme has a beautifully animated start menu, a detailed set of icons, and a matching weather forecast gadget.  The Think Green MyColors theme can make your desktop a little bit more "environmentally friendly"

Along with the MyColors 2.5 release, Stardock is unveiling the brand new Rockstar theme. This new theme gives you the ultimate backstage pass to the MyColors experience. Current WinCustomize subscribers can get the Rockstar WindowBlinds skin for free on the WinCustomize Subscriber Resources page, or the entire MyColors theme for a discount here.

If the Rockstar theme isn't playing your tune, Stardock has teamed up with the NHL, NCAA, NBA, GM, Ford, and many others to create themes for everything ranging from the Corvette Desktop to the Boston Celtics. In addition, dozens of totally original themes have been created and hundreds more are on the way.

Stardock is also providing 2 additional free themes on the MyColors website so that users can try MyColors for themselves. One theme, Diamond, can make Windows XP look virtually identical to Vista and gives Windows Vista users a more polished desktop experience, and the other, Quest, is an elegant theme that includes everything you need to transform your windows desktop to a new, smooth, lively look. It even includes a unique, animated start menu for that adds an extra touch to your desktop.

You can download MyColors for free from www.stardock.com/products/mycolors.  MyColors is available for Windows XP (32 bit), and Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit).

Hate to start this out on a negative note but on the Think Green suite, everything is applying except the WB. I've deleted it and redownloaded. Even tried to apply it in wbconfig. Nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

We're prepping a WindowBlinds update for Think Green right now.  It should be up in about 30min.

This should only be impacting users who have WB installed.

Zoomba... thanks for the update! I too agree along with everyone else about the WB issue. :-)

WindowBlinds issue is known, you will need a new version of WindowBlinds to apply ThinkGreen.  Please update your WB6.1 once today's update is available in a few minutes and retry.  Thanks!
