I don't even see the bars for the other catagories.

How much would you be willing to pay for 200 premium themes/skins/icon packages/etc. per year?



Apparently 200 premium skins from the best artists doesn't mean anything.


Anyway, I'm off to lurk the message board again.

Currently, the subscription is 20$, and you get TWO premium suites speaking of that where do I go to get those or is the link in the email I got from Stardock?


I don't think it's in the email, but you should go here. https://www.wincustomize.com/resources.asp?cmd=4

It's also in the menus on the left, under the category "Resources".

It's right under where you went to download the WC browser. (Unless there's a link to that in the Email, I don't remember....)

edited. meh thought better of it



I answered $19.95 which is still peanuts, but... I already spend $50/yr on my OD subscription, $10/yr on my WC subscription, and buy some of the current premium packs. There's just only so much I'm going to be able to spend here, deserved or not.
Heck $19.95 is cheap cheap cheap. I just spent $5 on a GORGEOUS essorant pack, and that was only 3 skins and walls.

Do I think the skinners deserve to make money? Of course. For example I have tons of Jairos work on my machine and it's a joke that I have unlimited access to this caliber of work for free (well, free after my OD/subscription costs but still).
ah, well...

well let me rephrase that... I don't think people realize how long "good" skins take to make.


Yes very true, sometimes im so sick of it people spend more time rushing and uploading just so they can try and be famous O_o

I would rather have one bodacious skin that make's you go ohhhhh than have 6 crummy one's.

I reckon that's seriously wrong with too many people these day's no pride "We want it FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE everything should be FREE!!!!!!!!!!!1"

Can't remember where i seen this...

Skin because you love it.
Skin because it's fun.
Skin because it's creative.
Skin for yourself first, and others second.


Pay quite a large sum for someone's time and effort.

I don't think I could get anywhere near finding 200 skins...and I also have to say that of the skins I did find (about 20) that were appealing I'd have to honestly there were very few of them I would actually pay for. The the one skin I have considered paying for sofar was "Universal Metal". But times being hard right now, paying for skins would not be near the top of my list...not that I wouldn't in the future.

I agree with the #25 The Skin Factory and #31 Voodoo_FreaK.

The price of a skin for a commercial application, a WEB site or on demand, it is from $500 to $5.000. Seeing here all this conversation about 10-20 sents for a skin, well the authors I guess are not happy about it.

So, better free with pride than 10 offensive sents!

That's my 2 sents
