However, there are only two that are fully Vistafied, and that is Magic and Pirate.  We will be getting the people who bought those transitioned over to the MyColors version very soon.

Omega now has an upgrade path, also.

Is it possible to import our existing themes into My Colors so we do not have to have two theme managers? Is it just a matter of renaming the file extention?

Some of the themes are already Vista ready and it seems pointless to repurchase them just to be able to use My Colors to apply them.]]>http://dpxmedia.joeuser.com/article/309332http://dpxmedia.joeuser.com/article/309332Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:09:54 -04002008-07-08T21:09:54CarGuy1 on Premium Suites / MyColors - a concern...KarmaGirlhttp://dpxmedia.joeuser.com/article/309332
So....does this mean the only way us XP users will be able purchase any new premium skins will have to use/purchase MyColors in order to get them?

MyColors is how hey are packaged.  It's like a ThemeManager, but has the basic software with it.  You pay for the theme, and OD users get a discount because they already paid for the full versions of the software.

Once you install MyColors, you don't have to reinstall it, you just use it to download and apply the themes.  It also has an update feature, so if we fix a glitch in a theme or add to it, you will be able to use MyColors to update it.

"Premium suites" as we know them will be phased out over the next month and replaced with MyColors.  As the themes get updated for Vista, they will be published as MyColors suites.  The upgrade fees, however, only pay for the extra work involved in vistafying the theme (extra icons, skin changes, etc.)

For what it's worth, I think that if you bought version 'a' and knew what you were getting that's what you get.  If version 'b' comes out it's a new deal really.

However . . I trust Stardock will do it's best to find a balance between paying skinners, developers, and support for services rendered and their  clients.
