[quote]Personally I prefered SDC because its simple and did just what I needed it to...something to keep my stuff updated....thats all I've ever used SDC for. I could do without all the bells and whistles of Impulse. Don't get me wrong...Impulse looks pretty and all that...its just that I like to keep it simple[/quote] ditto :p

[quote]But looking at it realistically has Stardock ever made a promise that all graphics for all themes ever released would be readily available for anyone and everyones personal use?[/quote] In the community spirit and as the system of sale is to give consumers the oportunity of having beta programs and by this way having the feedback to debug the apps, i think the answer should be yes, even if it's not written. It's kinda contract between both: support us by paying in advance and we

[quote][B]It doesn't have to be that way[/B].[/quote] Glad you see things like this Brad, that's what i waited from Stardock. I reacted when someone in the thread said maybe Stardock could select a few senior members who regularly make ports skins and let them have un-encrypted files, because i think everyone should have the possibility to begin in skinning and doing ports, that's the way i began myself in the early begining in doing ports from treetog's pixels (as a big fan of him), an

[quote]Two things... (1) if you do not like the policy, do not buy[/quote] You're right, but as said, untill now all the premium suites did not have WB encrypted, and as far as i know, it's nowhere noticed that for the first time premium suite will be like that ... [quote]so I would image the other MyColor suites like "Camouflage" are licensed as well but by the creator of the suite... you are purchasing a license to use their artwork... seems fair to me[/quote] You are pe

[quote]Neophil: You can guess why graphics would be encrypted. MyColors delivers licensed images and images designed by and being sold by Stardock Designs . . and needs to be protected.[/quote] As far as i know, i think all the premium suites i bought till "Camouflage" (and i bought quiet a lot ...) were also sold by Stardock and were not encrypted ...

[quote]WC gets 12 SKINS not MyColors themes. They aren't delivered through MyColors[/quote] I thougt so, sorry [quote]I think you're being a bit impatient. This is a news item, not a support forum.[/quote] Of course i'm impatient to know what will be the future and specially WHY Stardock is using now encrypted files in WB. That's not something relative to support but really something which would have been announced as a main news ...

[quote]I think if they feel they need to be encrypted then giving the original graphics to a select few senior members who regularly make skins to go along with released blinds would be a good idea[/quote] Why to a select few senior members ? Anyone who buy the suites may want to do/begin themselves some ports :NOTSURE: BTW, still no reaction from Stardock ...

[quote][quote]What version of IP do you have installed?[/quote] IP 3.20.163 because IP 4.0.165 don't run the way i want[/quote] Anyway, the problem of MyColors not downloading IP theme in the correct path is exactly the same with latest IP version 4.0.165 I'm just reacting: Why images are encrypted in WB ? :SURPRISED: How will it be possible to edit the skin and modify some images ? How will it be possible to do some ports for personal use ??? :SURPRISED: :(

[quote]This is a great looking skin! Would be even greater if we could purchase this to use just with WindowBlinds rather than having to use MyColors theme manager. Gonna miss out on some nice skins.
