Current Object Desktop subscribers now have access to the latest MyColors premium skin called ‘Ankh’. This smooth theme includes a complete visual style for Windows XP and Vista with a real “ancient” Egyptian feel. Also included is a pack of icons that have some amazing detail.
If you are an Object Desktop subscriber, you will find this MyColors theme available in the My Software area of Impulse. If you don’t have Impulse installed already, you can get it from here.
I would value TSF's opinion regardless of how it is said and where.
mebion...I think I answered in another thread:
Open Impulse.
Click on the left orb (lightning orb) and select 'change logon'
then, examine logon name and password. type in your name/password if incorrect and 'ok'
then click again on the orb and update. If it still doesn't appear, right click on mycolors and check if installed properly.
If it is and ankh doesn't appear, open a ticket with stardock support. If not installed peoperlt answer appears, update and recheck. If still not installed properly (you will have to reboot after the prior step), uninstall it through Impule and reinstall (the usual proviso about firewalls and antivirals) and reboot.
If it still doesn't appear, you'll have to talk with sd support.
There's something to be said about consistency. If you're going to use the blue gems from the windows and start menu on the start button keep them the same size. This will create a more unified look to the theme.
The Ankh itself looks odd to me. It uses a gold that hasn't been seen on the theme and looks rendered and more like a clay sculpture (the way its uneven) than a symbol of power. It also doesn't have the same crisp and clean look that the theme has so to me it looks out of place.
You're pretty clearly stating that the skindesign is "wrong". It's more than just an opinion.
Good on you.
Ah, there we go... When all else fail, we can always resort to namecalling.
Lasse: Did you do the King Tut icon from scratch?
I think it's wonderful work! I just wish they had given us the unencrypted version so that we could make widgets and such (since it came with none). I truely think it's great just the way it is!!
wow....i like this...very nice
/shakes head again
While it is very nice, for me, it's like all the other MyColors themes. I use it for about an hour then switch back to my own.
This is a matter of taste, as I alluded to previously. I prefer the more traditional Ankh, but that's only my taste. The only real time I'd use the theme is around Passover...and I'll probably 'shop' Moses onto the wall...from "The Ten Commandments"...scenes of my people "gittin' outta town" while the gittin' was good!
Overall a beautiful Theme, and my thanks to The Skins Factory (once again) for a gorgeous Media Player Theme (Take a look at Alien, those of you who haven't yet...most stunning wmp skin ever!).
You mean our Alienware Invader Windows Media Player skin.
Nods in agreement.
Lasse....You did a great job on this skin! And for free at that!
Sorry. Correct.
Y'know? It's only a skin. You like it? Get it. I did. It's a great job...and free at that!
You don't like it. Forget it and move on. What pettiness. No one can reconciate? Really.
Best WMP skin ever,imo. Speaking of which,I lost mine in my OS reinstall and now it appears to no longer be available on the TSF site. The "Download" button is greyed out. Am I just missing it or is it no longer downloadable. Say it ain't so!
I stopped offering it after Alienware took down our logo off their site
At 50-60 MB I'm not supporting them if they aren't supporting us. Simple economics. I think you can still get it from their site though.
At the risk of sounding like an "arrogant prick" it is by far the best media player ever created. I posted an HD video of it on our YouTube channel. You have to click the HD button to see it and turn up your speakers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjeERptzg20&feature=channel_page
I just wish I knew what was causing the "all white taskbar" on my Vista machine.
Other than that, it's very well done.
Oh, and what's the deal with the "taskbarhorzcrack.tga"?
We've often addressed the female gender in our themes.
The Bionic Dot had a pink and purple skin: http://www.theskinsfactory.com/newsfadmin/files/89view4.gif
The Need for Speed has a pink one too: http://www.theskinsfactory.com/newsfadmin/files/84view3.gif
There are others.
For Hyperdesk we started out with what we knew would be popular on a broader scale but we're definitely going to start doing some that are more for both genders. I guess theme wise WALL-E's EVE theme is fairly gender neutral: http://www.hyperdesk.com/product_details.php?p=32
Solar Flare could go either way: http://www.hyperdesk.com/product_details.php?p=9
We're going to work on it though. We've talked about doing DarkMatter in pink, silver and black
