NEW COLORS FOR VISTA and XP!!!

STARDOCK just released a new free themeing app and site thats called
mycolors
and gives free themes to vista and xp

many vista users have complained about the horrible light blue selection
color in windows explorer. I understand their aggravation..

perhaps this is a solution for them...

themes. There are hundreds of MyColors themes already available with more
being made all the time.

Re: NEW COLORS FOR VISTA and XP!!!

On the contrary, the people wanting other colors are usually elderly people
who cannot see very well...

I have seen the same question here at least 10 times..

"how can I change the vista color of selection that is light blue and i cant
see it"

Now run along.. I am here to help, and to my surprise you are here to
troll....

Windows Vista x64 Ultimate
 
 

Re: NEW COLORS FOR VISTA and XP!!!

What good does it do if it does not support Vista x64:

Quote:
System requirements
MyColors works on Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows XP (32-bit).
-Windows XP/Vista (32-bit)
-256MB RAM (512MB recommended for Windows Vista)
-Internet Connection to download, install, and activate
Like Synapse Syndrome said - Kids Stuff.

Especially when you see the ridiculous themes they provide. Does anyone remember the support horror that was introduced when Windows 98 had built-in theming capabilities? Why do you think MS made it so hard to radically change the UI other than simple color changes?

Looks like an email harvesting scheme to me.

If it's free, why not just provid a generic serial number, or no serial
number at all.

So they didn't send you the serial through email? That's how it usually
works. Hmmnn... fishy...

But do you remember how long it took for 32-Bit computing to become mainstream? The venerable 80386 was the first true 32-Bit processor, which was released sometime in the mid-80's, but 32-Bit computing only really became mainstream in 1995 with the release of Windows 95.

What amazes me is that 16-Bit programs are still in use today. Thank [insert deity name here] that Microsoft has dropped any and all 16-Bit support from their x64 OSes like Windows XP X64 and Vista x64...!

Just let's hope that the market uptake of x64 is a little quicker than was 32-Bit. Should be, seeing as Vista x64 is way, WAY better than Vista x86.

Ah, yes, "On the Bridge!" is such a reliable source here:

Go back /under/ the bridge where trolls belong, please.

And Stardockware hasn't caused *any* problems for *any* Windows user. (If
you believe that, I've got another bridge to sell you!)
