I rolled back to IE8. Too much of my daily routine was totally dysfunctional due to IE9. More than few websites were dysfunctional or worse....my HP cm1312nfi color laser multifunction printer ONLY printer in COLOR when anything inside a brower was displayed (even though all settings were set to grayscale)....the list goes on and on.... No matter who is to blame (websites and drivers not ready for IE9 or IE9 not ready for websites and drivers) the outcome is still the same....IE9, in my opinion, is not ready for me.....
It seems that Stardock is letting Mycolors die. There is no more support for it. The forums are closed and the Mycolor update servers are gone. They didn't even update the copyright for 2011.
Stardock is supporting Windowblinds and have updated it to work with IE9. If you install the trial version of Windowblinds while having the Dell theme installed it will add the Dell theme to its list of themes and update it to work with IE9. The only catch is it is not free and when you uninstall Windowblinds it also removes the Dell theme.
So I guess the question here is Dell going to make a new version based on Windowblinds or just let it die like Stardock did.
For what it's worth I didn't want to roll back to IE8 so instead I went to the Settings and added iexplore.exe to the Exclusions list. That way I still enjoy the theme on all other apps in Win7 and enjoy the security and performance of IE9. Alternately you can just hold down the Ctrl key when you launch IE.

I went and got a hacked version of Windoblinds to get it working again. Kinda hate doing that but meh..

Let me know if you have any luck i asked stardock and the text below was there reply
Hello,
The AlienGUIse ThemeManager is unfortunately not supported by Stardock. I would suggest contacting Alienware who released and supports this product.
Thanks,
