It has a bad reputation. Never tried it myself (site refuses Mozilla, so I won't even consider giving it a second look), but it seems to autoinstall from the site.

There's an older thread about it on this board. Quite a discussion.

probably had something to do with these guys "stealing" skins without permission? (just a hunch)

No, more with the auto-install from the site thing. Us skinners want full control over our machine, so we don't trust auto-installers (and think of virii and stuff).

I tried it, just to see.............It reminds me of Hotbar, and they mislead people, claiming.........Winzip, MSN, and AIM, can only be skinned with their software.
I let them know that WB skins them just fine.........

I like the concept of being bomarded with advertisments though. I don't get enough emails, phone calls, letters, instant messages and other software telling me all the wonderful things that I simply must buy. Hooray for adware.

And hooray for the wonderful intelligent people that put together the "internet advertising model" and made it impossible to earn a living by spending 20 hours a day running a website any more.

That Terms of Use is pure evil. I find it amazing that I don't see a paragraph like "By using this software, you agree to sell your soul to the devil" in there!
