| bitch, bitch, bitch! and i thought i was a negative person. it seems some folks can only find negative things in life. i bought the suite and the ONLY thing that interest me is the blind. that in itself is worth the cost! and there's a great IP package as a bonus! the 8-ball widget is pretty cool. granted it isn't something you can't live without but it is fun to mess around with on occasion. maybe the weather widget is for US only, maybe it isn't. i'm not going to check. i'm not using it and have no interest. if you don't like what is available, don't buy it. there's no need to trash somebody's work. |
I bought all the available blind/suite/IconPackager/... on Stardock and since the first day where they are on sale. Then, I take the right to give my opinion. Problem of money? No problem, I'm ready to pay more!!!
No bitch, trash work or negative person --> Only feedbacks!!
Also, this suite is nice and amazing. Good job for all works on this nice suite!

Typical weather gadgets *that are free* pull from weather.com. However, they do not allow for commercial use, which is why the weather gadget that is in Fortune does not. It actually parses data from the US government weather info site, which is why it only works in the US.
The Fortune suite is really inspired by the Fortune Ball, which sells as a gadget on desktopgadgets.com (as a standard 8-ball) for almost $5.00 on its own. So, for $4.00 more, there is an added weather gadget, a skin, wallpaper, logon, bootskin, and set of 256x256 icons.
This is a different kind of suite than the others, and not all suites will have the same components and features.
We hope to provide a weather gadget for non-us people as possibly a "free" gadget (to get around the use restrictions).

We plan on providing a different gadget other than the weather gadget in an update to the suite. This update should happen next week so that the non-US customers receive the full value of the suite.
Thank you CerebroJD for your help in this!
