If you like to customize the look of your Windows PC, but are not sure about all the software needed to achieve the look you want, then you should take a look at MyColors 2.5 from Stardock.

It doesn’t modify any system files and enables users to easily switch between themes and back to default Windows with just a few clicks.

MyColors from Stardock is something you probably have been reading a lot about recently. The new MyColors Theme Manager has a slick new interface, and should now work seamlessly with other customization components such as Object Desktop. A question I am often asked is…”what is the difference between MyColors and something like WindowBlinds?”
Well are are some fundamental differences, but remember that MyColors uses the technology from products like WindowBlinds and IconPackager. The real big difference is MyColors is basically an all-in-one solution for customizing your desktop. Whereas with applications like WindowBlinds and IconPackager, you use each application independently and pick and choose the themes and skins you want to use. This is not a bad thing at all, but MyColors offers an ease of use, especially for people who do not want to have to install multiple pieces of software to personalize their desktop, or are not that familiar with desktop customization.
MyColors includes all the skinning technology, so all you have to worry about is which themes you want to use. MyColors themes typically include a new visual style, icon package, wallpapers, and several gadgets like media players and weather displays.
I was going through some of my MyColors themes today and came across the one for the L.A. Lakers. I didn’t realize how detailed it was before, and I think I can say it’s an almost perfect basketball/NBA related theme. I know someone who is a big Lakers fan, and I think this could make a fantastic gift.
