MyColors and Theme Manager

from WinCustomize Forums

These two apps are definitely redundant. There's really no need to confuse the world with both apps. A less redundant and confusing solution would be to make Theme Manager only have a section for MyColors themes, and add a Theme Manager Plus version (for OD subscribers) with all the bells and whistles that the current one has. 

Just my few cents...

MyColors is a stand-alone app for folks that don't have ODNT.  IT's dead easy to get adn apply themes.  TM can do a lot more and designed for the hobbyist.

More or less Theme Manager is the "Plus" version that allows for applying .suite files, making your own suites, and custom tuning what gets applied.  MyColors pretty much just applies .mycolors themes.  They become redundand if your an Object Desktop Subscriber (as the new Theme Manager isn't available as a standalone yet), but alot of people who buy MyColors themes are looking for a 1-click solution, which is what the MyColors app is for (there's no coincidence that the interface basically has one big "Apply" button).
