hmmmmmmm interesting... selling a whole siute? That was the first thing I thought of when I got this stuff. For those who are graphic designers/web designers digital artists and so on, this is just another way to express yourself. And since we all tend to be poor, sometimes we can sell our hard work (200 - 400 hours of work) for 8, 10, or even 15 dollars!!! I love giving some of this stuff away (most actually) but there is a market out there..... and it is growing.... so be prepared to see some siutes to be sold. I'm sure after like 6 - 8 months most of it will be released to the public. It is the open source way. GUI League of Designers baby!!!!

whoo hoo

we will probably have another way in few months, we will probably charge per skin.

Any suggestions around how much you would be willing to pay for?

Alex....$8 per skin, or $80 for the lot sounds good...

I only use WB and Beat*K, and I am VERY willing to pay $10-$15 PER SKIN........ I LOVE what you two put out and am willing to pay for quality work.

moshi...
You are very probably right, considering the number of ripped [stolen] skins around at present...

Hey, you guys are not very good hagglers.

That's a sad thread, moshi...
Bunch of misguided fools....if they try porting Pixtudio's works they'll have to deal with me first...[if you see anything posted, let me know]...

Good thing about my WB stuff is that I put the buttons on the left side, so they'll be hard-pressed to 'port' them...[if they ever wanted to, that is]...

After grazing over that thread at Neowin, I find it odd that those guys get bent out of shape about selling a skin for a freeware app, but they don't seem to mind TGTSoft charging them for a crack of the MSStyles engine.

MikeB314 suspects they're probably all using a cracked version of the crack anyway

whoops I preesed enter instead of thift

In conclusion I also believe that if a "design firm" sells there work and then releases it to the public after a few months (like 6) then that will also reduce the crime factor or the "I am inspired so much by your work that I ripped it totally and then just changed the name" factor.

Now that I think about it, I started using some programs solely because of the great skins included in the Logika suite. It actually helped me discover skinnable programs that I hadn't considered using before.
