I think stardock is a subsidiary of fisher price. Thats the only thing that would explain why the themes for this and windows blinds are so big and tacky. The quality is there but their taste leaves something to be desired. Stardocks stuff is overpriced and that aint freeware so that should be changed because it misleads people

I always encounter really bad bugs with everything stardock though I still use rightclick

Stardock = Bloated/Useless/Crap.

Look around Deviantart.com and you'll find thousands of ways tweak your desktop for free...and without looking as atrocious and juvenile as this. :D

This is actually like a sample of WindowBlinds, Theme manager, DesktopX, and IconManager in one freeware package which also includes a good quality freeware theme.

I actually like this, but the themes are way overpriced especially considering you can only see a screenshot of the theme. Maybe if you could "try before you buy"..well...maybe, IF five or ten dollars per pack.

You get a free theme with this package, which is actually a very nice one.

This application is like an "all-in-one" solution for people who want customize their desktops without having to worry about which software to use, etc.

Free installer but the themes cost $19.95 -> So pretty much useless and misleadingly labeled as freeware.

This is the single worst piece of software on FileForum. Absolute GARBAGE! I wish there was a zero on the ratings here.

True it isn't freeware. You either can pay for each theme and get the software free or simply pay one time for Windowblinds and be able to use themes that are free.
Although the free themes are not of such high quality as MyColors will have, nor would they usually be themed in pro sports, etc.

Of course when uninstalled it would revert back to the XP original since the majority of people would be using that setup. I don't think its a big deal for you to switch back to whatever it was you were using.

I think this a fantastic product that is meant to introduce skinning to the masses. These are people who generally will not be changing themes very often and don't want to mess with the software. Boom this does it and they don't have to mess with it.

This is not freeware !!! Only the installer is freeware...All the themes cost $19.95 each.

And when I uninstalled, it switched my theme back to XP original even though I did not apply any color theme from this. That's the reason why it gets a 1 from me. Coming from stardock, I did not expect such a crappy uninstall.
