Was wondering since you guys did several themes for Alienware for the AlienGUIse theme manager, is that theme app compatible in any way with Hyperdesk?

Do you have to uninstall AlienGUIse or WindowBlinds to make sure that Hyperdesk works perfectly?

To clairfy, we did all but Xenomorph and the new version of our Invader for Vista for Alienware.

I don't actually have WB installed so i'm not sure. You could always download the Sony Ericsson Hyperdesk theme and test it out since its free. You can download it here: SE

Technically you shouldn't really have issues since they theme differently. But the way Hyperdesk works is each theme is in its own installer and applied by the installer, so its not like you can use it with other technology.

Yeah you shouldn't have any problems if you have WB installed. I have Windowblinds installed and Hyperdesk works fine.

I've got them all installed on a system as well. No issues.

Hyperdesk is based off of the .msstyles format that's native to XP. Each Hypertheme is going to have it's own shortcut to apply it. I've got four on my desktop as we speak, err, type. ( Master console? *wink* *nudge* )

The older Alienware themes were .suite files that used the Stardock Theme Manager.

The latest Invader version for Vista is a MyColors theme & uses the MyColors engine.
