My Colors Ankh Desktop

What a nice suprise

Thought I'd open up Impulse and see if there were any new updates for my software today and to my surprise I found a new My Colors waiting to be downloaded. Great looking WindowBlind and Icon Package. Really nice job on this one, Stardock Designs.

That's strange, as I got an email from Stardock about it/started Impulse-told me Impulse had an update-and did the update but it never showed up in the updates ?

Guess I will try tomorrow :(

I have the same problem. Just ran Impulse, it found an update for itself and upon reloading - nothing new to offer!

hmm.. I updated Impulse & 'Ankh' was available under 'My downloads', no problem.

The batch update to add the registration to all accounts is probably still running and so it doesn't show up for everybody yet. If it's not there tomorrow then it's something else >_>  and you should send an email to support so they can check your account.

Odd, I can see it in the registration page, but not in the list of apps...

 

EDIT: Well, it was just me being stupid, I forgot I set impulse to list installed apps first.. :P

Would be nice to see these subscriber skins made for WindowBlinds as well as MyColors for those of us subscribers that don't use the latter!

I would like to see them as an unencrypted Windowblind also. I don't mind loading My Colors, I just like to be able to tweak the Windowblind.

That would be a thoughtful option for the subscribers.

You only need to load it with MyColors once. You can select just the blind and wall and skip the IP.After that you can run the WindowBlind only from either WB config. or Theme Manager.The wall you can copy from C\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft. If you do want the IP,let MC load them also. You can then apply them when you want from IconPackager.There is no need to use MyColors to load it up any time after the first time.

Actually I could select it in theme manager without having to use mycolors. I needed to apply it there once before I could select the individual parts though.

Well, for some reason, I'm seeing an all white taskbar on Vista. Tried to fix it, several times, with no luck.

I've downloaded and reinstalled 3 times, with no success.

Works fine in XP, so I copied, that one, to Vista. Same results. No luck.

Also, the Start Menu and Taskbar aren't showing in the WB Config. window on Vista. The XP is though.

The Vista version, looks fine in XP but not in Vista.

Usually, it a margin issue, transparency, something missing, this has me stumped.

I'd re-copy the taskbar, but guess what, freaked out images.....go figure, so that's out.

Any ideas?

Switch to windows aero in mycolors, windowblinds AND theme manager. remember to make sure to apply the change in all of the programs. Reboot. Switch to ankh in either mycolors or theme manager. That should do it... Maybe... Good luck.
