#15 Make it so that Object Bar Properly imports Windowblinds 6 Skins

#16 Make it so that Rightclick Properly imports Windowblinds 6 Skins

#17 Make the theme Manager Work with the Newer Stardock Programs. (Logon Studio Vista...etc..etc..etc.)

#18 Make DesktopX compatible with Vista completely.

#19 give Nimbin 10% of the profits for 2008

#20 Hit Nimbin on the head with the thackystick, and give the 10% to that man in the dark suit & sunglasses I'm sending over....

Seriously though, great list! ...hope they ALL come to fruition.

I vote for:

1. Dreams for all Vista, not just for Ultimate.
2. DesktopX for Vista with better resolution independence.

And what happened to the rest of ThinkDesk?

Sounds good Frogboy, I think its a wonderful time to start expanding, pushing MyColors to the world.

I love all the suggestions and would like to add a few of my own...

#21 Make new software for creating skins for Windows Media Player
#22 Make ObjectDock 3D that would use 3D objects for icons
#23 Improve the LogonStudio Vista to allow more customization
#24 Increase gallery size for WinCustomize subscribers

I guess from the Companies perspective........a big pitch at MyColors is a must. College and American Football was a start but how many people are aware of a theme in their College or Teams colors   Not many I guess.....so marketing is going to be a key. What areas should you hit next? I would look at some of the popular European Soccer Teams.......Manchester United, Barcelona, Arsenal, AC Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid.........and the European National Teams.....a big marketing opportunity is available soon with the Euro 2008 Championships coming up. There are corporate MyColor schemes that could be just as popular. If you can get MyColors out to the masses there could be large migration of those into Object Desktop.......

A big marketing effort would be required aimed at a large audience via a selection of media. Could be expensive but if its aimed correctly the payoff could be quite large for years to come but watch out for the boys from Redmond because you know what happens when sharks get hungry   

Good luck, Brad with your plans and I hope you achieve all you set out to.....especially on MyColors........I for one, will be watching with interest and cheering you on   

#22 Let's not forget, that we should host skinning contest and hand out great prizes, let's inspire these skinners. They do so much for the community. Have a contest give out prizes.

and with #24, I yeah these tiny thumbnails are too lame to search the gallery with. Its actually rediculous. The thumbnails need to be much larger.

Yes! I agree with many of these and would love to see them come to be....

The_Goo, I beleive there are GUI Championships planned for this year   

To your point on contests... we had the Maxthon contest this past fall, we will be awarding an Alienware PC for the Dream contest in the next week or so, and this year we have the GUI Championships in the works.  The 2006 GUIC had around $12,000 in prizes.

And there's other fun stuff that's in the planning stages I just can't talk about yet 

#26 Send HG a free pizza.... (well it could happen) ..
#27 Promote HG to "Reigning king" over all that is cheesy and covered with pepperoni. ( bet this ain't gonna happen either) oh well at least I tried. hehe



Cool List froggy.
I look forward to the new year

#?? Give DesktopX the ability to be "SKINNED" thru Skin Studio for the basics, Clocks, Calendar, Weather objects.

#25 Make sure master skinners release free skins as well...
