    Free to download but you still have to pay $19.95 for themes? Am I missing something here?

    Where did you download the file? at Softpedia or the link in my blog?
    From my link:
    After installation of the file, just wait until it is finish downloading the theme. and Then, just click the Apply button

    Sorry but I think Stardock already block the page. Maybe because of me, hahaha! :) I flooded the link with requests...

    My blog too... The hits Got Second to Winbubble.
    Winbubble 1.70 hits are great!
    just fall asleep and then
    Wow! here's the thread

    Lawrence did you find any free themes??????????

    I noticed that if you apply myColors themes it will greatly reduce your gaming performance.

    Unfortunately, only one theme is Free :(

    They said that almost all of the users are WAITING for others to create
    themes for Free like in Window Blinds.

    NOTE NOTE NOTE:
    MyColors Changes my folder icons and I can't restore them back.
    Even if I run the System Restore.

    I completely replaced imageres.dll and explorer.exe, still NO LUCK!
    All I can do is Restore the folder icon one by one ...
    mmm...I can trick them but by overwriting the folder icon in the registry BUT
    It doesn't completely solve the problem.

    Any ideas?

    Nope, none but it still looks nice so I may not change the folder icons.

    How did they change my folder icons? I want to know their secrets...
    I've noticed that they added the icon on imageres.dll
    when I restored the original file, still NO LUCK.

    The icon is good but I want the Original Icon Back....mmm SD SD SD

    Maybe you can learn something from this, like "How to replace all your icons in one click"

    Then add it to WinBubble.
