Not that it matters to me - but it says that Object Desktop Users get a discounted price of $7.95. I just bought this and my receipt is for $8.95. I didnt see any place when purchasing this to check off for a discount - just a place that said something about a coupon.
Again - dont bother with it now for me - but others might ask the same question. Maybe I just didnt see it.
This looks very great - I just liked the blind and Rainy ( the rest is just really cool extras ) - nice suite and still a bargain at $8.95.

No - it showed at $8.95 in my basket .
I had downloaded it because I recieved an email from Stardock showing the suite. The link I clicked on was on the font page of WC but not the link in this Article.
I saw this article after I made my purchase.

I have a slight issue with the WB skin and Firefox. I've come across this in several WB skins. The buttons for the Bookmark Toolbar Folder are huge. All the buttons in IE are fine, just the link buttons in Firefox.
Also....the tabs seem to be much fatter (taller) than they should be.
Any suggestions?

everything looks great! One problem, though: when I try & use the User Icon (Argos.ico), it comes up blank. When I try to open that file (argos.ico) with MS Paint, I get an error message saying that "Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its file format is not currently supported"
Any ideas?

I just got the email letting me know that this suite has arrived, by the time the last screen shot was loading I had my wallet out at the ready
This is one hell of a premium suite well worth the money, congratulations guys.

I do hope everyone has a high speed dialup. I've tried 5 times tonight to get it dl'd. Yes I've got a download mgr. except Stardock dosn't allow redial or resuming. Sigh. Well good luck to all the dial up folks.

Mr. Beesley, the user icon is called User Icon (in the WIndowsblings\Argos folder) and works fine here.
Fairvy~, At the very first purchase screen, where you have the buy now button, there was a second choice for the discount for registered OD users. That took you to a log on window that confirmed your status as an OD subscriber and then on from there. Worked fine for me (got it for the discounted price).
